Credit and Audit Update Indicator Information

Aria sends the isCredit and isAuditUpdate field names so OneSource properly recognizes credit memos and audit updates. isCredit is set to false for all transaction types; isAuditUpdate is set to true for post, void, and refund transactions, and false for quotes.
