Incremental Authorization Simulation

A debit cardholder calls a ride-share service through its app, and the cost of the proposed destination is $25. After arriving at the first destination the cardholder requests a second destination for $15, and then after arriving at the second destination requests a third, for $10. The network is Visa, because the Mastercard simulator does not have incremental authorization capability. The starting balance is $1000.

This example is similar to Scenario 3: Incremental authorizations but with some differences:

Scenario 3 was derived from live data in Production, where the incremented transactions were authorizations that were later settled. Because of the way the simulator is set up in CV, this simulation has preauthorizations for the incremented transactions, which are completed and then later settled.
The card product in this example has a 15% upcharge for MCC 4121 (taxicabs and limousines) that rounds up to the next whole number.

First preauthorization

Call Create Simulated Card Authorization with these parameters:

`accountNo`	PAN or PRN

Completion

Call Create Simulated Card Authorization with these parameters to simulate the completion, because a completion comes to Galileo through the authorization stream. The amount is the cumulative amount shown in the third preauthorization.

View the completion

Call Get Authorization History to see the completion. The amount and local_amt are the same value. In Production, it is possible that the completion would be for less than this amount, for example, if a tip were not included in the total.
