Capture outside Miva recording

[Patd265]

For those who capture payment in Miva > Order processing, all orders are showing amount authorized and amount captured.
But sometimes we need to capture outside Miva, for instance when a change has to be made to the order.
It would be helpful to have the ability to manually record the captured amount on that order.
At the moment we have these orders that are shipped but show 0 captured.

Patd265 Is the purpose to have a "captured" amount associated with the order? Would you be able to use the Check Payment or Purchase Order module (excluding from the frontend) to add a new payment of the amount externally captured? You could then capture that payment and it would show on the order.

To deepen the integration you could use the Miva JSON API to authorize the check payment and capture via the Order_Authorize and OrderPayment_Capture functions.

Another option that may work would be to create a custom field group called "External Capture" then assign any necessary order custom fields to the group. Then when an external transfer occurs you could populate the fields via the API or admin (downside is that the fields are editable by anyone with access and not populated via the software).

Nick Check payment is the workaround we use now. It's clumsy but it works.
I just looked at the PO module and that seems to be a cleaner solution with the ability to add a reference (like Paypal ID)
Thanks for the tip.
