API request to determine if funds have been released?

[oach]

What I know (or think I know):

1. Authorize.NET releases funds once a day.
2. A "refund" may be issued, via API request, after funds have been released.
3. A "void" needs to be issued, via API request, prior to funds having been released.

I need to know if there is an API call to determine if funds have been released for a specific order in order to know if a refund or void request should be made via the API.

If not, how do I determine for a specific order, programmatically via the API, if it should be refunded or voided?

I think I am missing something but I don't know what at this point.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello @oach

You are correct, settlement occurs once a day starting after the transaction cut-off time configured in the merchant interface.  You may void an unsettled transaction which cancels the entire transaction, or you may refund a settled transaction up to the total settled amount.

Using getTransactionDetails, you can check the status of a transaction and make a decision on how to approach Voiding or Refunding.
