activateStoredValueInstrument

mutation · in the family Till and cash management

What it does

Turn on a gift card or store-credit instrument so it can be sold and redeemed.

ACTIVATE staged instrument stock DIRECTLY: the flip + the issue entry + the balance land in ONE transaction. amountMinor ≥ 1 (an instrument never activates empty — VALIDATION/INVALID); reason REQUIRED (money is born). Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision.

What happens

The instrument becomes live at the till and online.

Careful

A live instrument is money-like — activate only instruments you issued and control.

Who may call it

Capability area: Till and cash management — Manual drawer entries and force-closing a till.

Returns

StoredValueInstrument StoredValueInstrument! — A StoredValueInstrument — a balance-bearing money instrument: gift_card (purchasable, reloadable-by-field, bearer) · gift_certificate (fixed-amount) · store_credit (refund/goodwill-born, customer-BOUND, never purchasable as a line). The FSM tracks USABILITY; the StoredValueEntry ledger tracks VALUE — balanceMinor is the cached ledger sum, stamped in the SAME transaction as every entry (the / law), with every decrement CONDITIONED (never negative — CONFLICT/INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE). Dual-birth: immediate active (the issue entry rides the create) or STAGED inactive printed stock (activated at sale via the Order line arm, or directly via activateStoredValueInstrument). Selling/reloading one is an Order LINE (untaxed — basis instrument_sale; engine-invisible); redeeming one is an applyTender step-5 internal tender; store credit from a return mints via refundReturn method=store_credit. Doom is gated by CONFLICT/BALANCE_OUTSTANDING while value remains (zero via reason-coded adjust FIRST — no silent money destruction).
