CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I created a CiviContribute page with both automated recurring contributions and "Pay Later". 

I then tried the page as a donor would, I choose $50 as the amount, automated recurring for once a month for 12 installments. I also choose "Pay Later".

A number of problems occurred:
1) CiviCRM created a recurring subscription record and a contribution in the status of Pending, but the field "civicrm_contribution_recur.processor_id" is null.

2) As a result of 1, the "Cancel" feature for the recurring subscription that is located on the "Contribution" tab fails with an ugly error message from Authorize.net:
Payment Processor Error message
E00003: The 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:subscriptionId' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:numericString' - The Pattern constraint failed.

3) As a result of number 1, there is no way to remove, or post check payments, or allow a credit card to be added to the subscription.

4) The confirmation/thank you page/email receipt all include language telling the donor that their donation will be processed automatically once  a month.   

I am running version 4.2 alpha 3
