Vending Session Management

This page covers the data structures used in the Marshall SDK to handle vending product requests and sessions. Such as:

vend_item_t
vend_session_data_t
vend_session_t

These structures define the classes and fields necessary to manage product details, session data, and the overall vending session.

Product class

The vend_item_t class represents an individual product request within a vending session. This class includes the product code, price, quantity, and unit of measure. The following code block lists all class parameters:

public static class vend_item_t {
    public short code;
    public int price;
    public int qty;
    public byte unit;
}

public static class vend_item_t {
    public short code;
    public int price;
    public int qty;
    public byte unit;
}

struct vend_item_t
	uint16_t code;
	uint16_t/uint32_t price;
	uint32_t qty;
	uint32_t unit;

Product parameters

The table below provides a more detailed description of the parameters.

Parameter	Type (inferred)	Description
`code`	String or Int	The unique identifier for the product, also known as the MDB code.
`price`	Int	Product price, where the real price is calculated as price / (10 ^ decimal places).
`qty`	Int	The quantity of the product being vended.
`unit`	Int	Unit of measure for the product, with `0` indicating a discrete unit (e.g., a single drink bottle).

Vending session data class

The vend_session_data_t class holds detailed information about a vending session, including transaction details and card information. The following code block lists all class parameters:

public static class vend_session_data_t {  
    public long transaction_id;  
    public short choose_product_timeout;  
    public int card_type;  
    public int card_entry_mode;  
    public String card_bin;  
    public String card_bin_hash;  
    public String prop_card_uid;  
    public int vmc_auth_status;  
    public int com_status;  
    public String excel_data;  
    public String cc_last_4_digits;  
}

public static class vend_session_data_t {  
    public long transaction_id;  
    public short choose_product_timeout;  
    public int card_type;  
    public int card_entry_mode;  
    public String card_bin;  
    public String card_bin_hash;  
    public String prop_card_uid;  
    public int vmc_auth_status;  
    public int com_status;  
    public String excel_data;  
    public String cc_last_4_digits;  
}

struct vmc_vend_transfer_data_t
  int 	 encode_bitmap;
  int       transaction_id_len;
  uint8_t[] transaction_id;
  uint16_t  choose_product_timeout;
  uint8_t   card_type;
  uint8_t   card_sub_type;
  uint8_t   card_entry_mode;
  int     	 card_bin_len;
  uint8_t[] card_bin;
  int     	 card_bin_hash_len;
  uint8_t[] card_bin_hash;
  int     	 prop_card_uid_len;
  uint8_t[] prop_card_uid;
  uint8_t   vmc_auth_status;
  uint32_t  com_status;
  int     	 ftl_data_len;
  uint8_t[] ftl_data;
  char[] 	 cc_last_4_digits;
  uint16_t  product_code;
  uint32_t  product_price;
  uint32_t  default_credit;
  uint8_t[] main_fw_ver;
  uint8_t[] pos_fw_ver
  uint8_t[] monyx_id;
  uint32_t  final_price;
  sint32_t  card_balance;

Class parameters

The table below provides a more detailed description of the parameters.

Parameter	Type (inferred)	Description
`transaction_id`	String or Int	Transaction unique identifier.
`choose_product_timeout`	Int	Timeout duration for choosing a product.
`card_type`	String	Card type used in the transaction.
`card_entry_mode`	String	Card entry mode (e.g., swipe, insert).
`card_bin`	String or Int	The Bank Identification Number (BIN) of the card.
`card_bin_hash`	String	The hashed BIN of the card for security purposes.
`prop_card_uid`	String	The UID of the proprietary card.
`vmc_auth_status`	String or Int	Authorization status from the VMC.
`com_status`	String or Int	Communication status.
`excel_data`	String	Additional data in Excel format.
`cc_last_4_digits`	String	The last four digits of the credit card.

Vending session handle class

The vend_session_t class represents a vending session, encapsulating session-specific data, product lists, and session status. The following code block lists all class parameters:

Java

public static class vend_session_t {
    public int funds_avail;
    public int session_status;
    public vend_session_data_t data;
    public ArrayList<vend_item_t> products_list;
}

public static class vend_session_t {
    public int funds_avail;
    public int session_status;
    public vend_session_data_t data;
    public ArrayList<vend_item_t> products_list;
}

struct vend_session_t
  int funds_avail;
	int total_amount;
	int vend_amount;
	int discount;
	uint16_t session_id;
	vmc_vend_transfer_data_t* data;
	vend_item_t* products;
	int total_products;

Vending session class parameters

The table below provides a more detailed description of the parameters.

Parameter	Type (inferred)	Description
`funds_avail`	int	Available funds for the session.
`session_status`	String or Enum	The user sets the session’s status, especially in cases of cancellation or failed dispensing.
`vend_session_data_t data`	Object	An instance of `vend_session_data_t` containing detailed session data.
`products_list`	ArrayList<vend_item_t>	A list of `vend_item_t` objects representing the products involved in the session. Note that only a single product is allowed in multi-session mode.
