Service Web Methods

The following is a list of methods that are provided by the Adjudication Service.

GetRecurringExpense – returns a list of recurring expenses that where created from a given transaction.
GetTransactionInfo – returns information about a given transaction.
CreateRecurringExpense – used to create a recurring expense using an existing transaction as a template.
UpdateTransactionStatus – used to update a transaction’s status.

Service Assumptions and Business Rules

The Adjudication Service makes the following assumptions and enforce the following business rules.

Clients shall conform to the WS-I specifications unless otherwise agreed upon by Alegeus Technologies and the administrator.
Clients shall format SOAP messages in a Document/Literal format over HTTPS.
Clients shall have already created a valid user ID and password.
Clients shall have a valid session ID after being authenticated by the system. The session ID needs to be passed in the proper manner as described in the Account Manager Service Guide.
If the administrator uses the same user ID and password for all clients, the administrator is responsible for managing the security of the data.
Clients should validate data before submitting a request to this Service. This facilitates better performance and accurate processing on both systems.
Clients shall not attempt to use this service for batch processing of large amounts of data. The service is designed for synchronous calls that send or retrieve small chunks of data. If batch processing is required, then the EDI process should be used.
If any method fails, the service returns a SOAP fault describing the problem.
