Description

This use case illustrates various types of cancellations requested by the Seller, with the following variations of outcomes:

  • A refund to the original form of payment (full or partial).

  • Application of penalties, both netted and non-netted.

  • Disclosure of forfeited amounts due to non-refundable pricing components (e.g. taxes).

  • Creation of value store and/or reusable OrderItems in cases where refunds are not triggered.

  • Scenarios where refunds are triggered only once penalties have been paid.

The use cases listed above constitute the different variations of the main flow.

There are currently known issues regarding the reshopping mechanism specific to Value Store scenarios, whereby it is not clear to the Seller, within the reshopping response, that the Value Store OrderItem does not need to be paid, as this would already be covered by the residual value in the cancelled OrderItem. Value Store scenarios are expected to make use of Taxonomy Code “33F4“ in the Service Definition.
