When you use the authorizenet system, they return an authorization  
code when the transaction is authorized, and a transaction id when the  
funds are captured and deposited to your bank account.  If you do auth- 
only at the website, then the transaction number has to be collected  
and recorded separately.  If you perform an auth/capture at the time  
of sale, then the module receives both back, and interchange can be  
set to record them (e.g. in log_transaction).  Note that these numbers  
are both distinct from the interchange order number.

Here's a handy reference: http://developer.authorize.net/guides/AIM/Submitting_Transactions/Credit_Card_Transaction_Types.htm 
.  According to this the transaction ID is sufficient for processing a  
credit, and the authcode is not required.
