Attempted authorization

When you release an order, authorization is attempted in Billing. The information is automatically sent from Lawson to your external Electronic Payment Provider. During this time, a temporary "authorization pending" hold code is placed by the Lawson application on the order. The Electronic Payment Provider then processes the authorization and sends a message back to Lawson stating if the authorization passed or failed. If the authorization passes, the application automatically removes the hold code and you can continue processing the order.
