NAME

FS::reason - Object methods for reason records

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::reason;

 $record = new FS::reason \%hash;
 $record = new FS::reason { 'column' => 'value' };

 $error = $record->insert;

 $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

DESCRIPTION

An FS::reason object represents a reason message. FS::reason inherits from FS::Record. The following fields are currently supported:

reasonnum - primary key; reason_type - index into FS::reason_type; reason - text of the reason; disabled - 'Y' or ''

METHODS

new HASHREF

Creates a new reason. To add the example to the database, see "insert".

Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the hash method.

insert

Adds this record to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

delete

Delete this record from the database.

replace OLD_RECORD

Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

check

Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid reason. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.

reasontype

Returns the reason_type (see FS::reason_type) associated with this reason.

BUGS

Here be termintes. Don't use on wooden computers.
