# Tender

object type

ONE applied tender: FSM-LESS by ratified intent (SPEC_CATALOG / — status is always active; the lifecycle is its Payment / the money facts); sysId-LESS (the class); IMMUTABLE — reversal = a NEW refund tender row (negative appliedMinor), never an edit. Posted ONLY by applyTender, refundTender, and the refund writers (refundReturn/posReturn method=cash) — each in ONE transaction with the Order rollup stamp (+ the drawer entries for cash).
