Example

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We do this with the LookupUser request object.

We’ll assume you’ve got a web reference, let’s name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project.  At this point we need to our objects.  We’ll need the standard service object, an AddUpdatePCD request object and an AddUpdatePCD response object.  We can define and create those like this:

// Create request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.AddUpdatePCD_Request request = new SWS.AddUpdatePCD_Request();
SWS.AddUpdatePCD_Response response;

Here’s my sample code of the Request object.

//Adds a New PCD to the organization
request.ORG_ID = 123456;
request.ACTIVE = true;
request.ALL_SITES = true;
request.AMT_TYPE = SWS.PcdAmountType.DiscountAmount;
request.CREDIT_LEVEL = SWS.PcdCreditLevels.Level1;
request.DELINQUENCY_LIMIT = 1;
request.EXPIRES = new DateTime(2020, 1, 15);
request.LOS_REQ = 1;
request.PAYMENT_REQUIRED = true;
request.PCD_AMT_DEFAULT = 15;
request.PCD_AMT_MAX = 20;
request.PCD_AMT_MIN = 10;
request.PCD_CLASS = SWS.PcdClass.Promotion;
request.PCD_DESC = "A percentage off for move ins";
request.PCD_NAME = "Move In - Percentage Off";
request.PCD_PERIODS = 1;
request.PCD_PRIORITY = 1;
request.PCD_REV_CAT = SWS.PcdRevenueCategory.RentalItem;
request.PCD_START_PERIOD = SWS.PcdStartPeriod.StartOfRequiredLOS;
request.REASON_PROMPT = SWS.PcdReasonPrompt.NotRequired;
request.ROLLOVER = false;
request.STARTS = DateTime.Today;
request.TRANSFERABLE = false;

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object for updating merchandise items. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

try
{
  // Call the method that will load the response object
  response = service.AddUpdatePCD(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You’ll want to take a look at that message returned in that exception so it can be debugged.
