Errors
The RequiredTotalCy pipeline component returns error level 2 (OPPERRORLEV_WARN) when one or more of the keys and values in the _Verify_With dictionary do not match the corresponding OrderForm entries. Other errors return error level 3 (OPPERRORLEV_FAIL).

Remarks
The RequiredTotalCy pipeline component goes through the keys and values in the _Verify_With dictionary to make sure that the keys exist in the OrderForm and have the same values.
You can use the RequiredTotalCy pipeline component to verify that values on a page have not been tampered with or reset. To verify values on a page, add a hidden field for each item named _VERIFY_WITH that contains the item and the associated value. For, example to verify that the value ship_to_zip has not been altered, you would create a tag on the page similar this:
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="_VERIFY_WITH"
VALUE="<% = "ship_to_zip=" & CStr(mmsOrderForm.ship_to_zip) %>">
When the page is posted, the name and value will be added as a key and value to the _Verify_With key in the Order dictionary.
The Order Total pipeline stage always performs a _VERIFY_WITH check. Any fields in the post that appear as _VERIFY_WITH="value=key" will verify that the order has such a key and it is set to that value. This prevents a malicious resetting of addresses or contents. If _VERIFY_WITH is not on the order form, no check is performed.
For example, order._total_total should equal (order._VERIFY_WITH)._total_total if _total.total is in the _VERIFY_WITH clause.
