Create Reversal

URL Parameters

Property	Type	Description	Required
`preview`	Boolean	If true, then the returned JSON will show a preview for the effects of the reversal, but the actual reversal will not occur. This includes the new values for the `discountAmount`, `taxAmount`, `chargeAmount`, and `outstandingBalance`. False by default.	Optional

Request Parameters

Property	Type	Description	Required
`chargeId`	Integer	This is the Fusebill charge ID of the charge the reversal will apply against.	Yes
`reverseChargeAmount`	Decimal	This is the amount of the reversal.	Yes if `reverseChargeOption` is "Amount" or "NetAmount"
`reverseChargeOption`	Enum: {Full, Unearned, Amount, NetAmount}	This option tells Fusebill how to perform this reversal. The system can reverse all of the charge, the unearned (prorated) value of the charge, a specific amount of the charge, or a specific net amount of the charge. These options correspond to "Full", "Unearned", "Amount", and "NetAmount" respectively.*	Yes
`reference`	String	This is a custom string. The intended use is to indicate the reason for the reversal. [Max Length: 500 characters]	Optional

* When reversing with the net amount option, the discounts and taxes on the charge may make it impossible to reverse the value as requested. In these cases Fusebill will get as close as possible. Use the preview URL parameter to see what will occur. The value of reverseChargePreview.reversalAmountWarningFlag indicates if the exact amount is impossible.
