[ic] CC Authorize now, settle later

I am using the BoA payment module in 4.8.6.  I am also using a fulfillment 
company to handle the stocking and shipping of products.  For this reason, 
I don't want to complete the credit card sale until after the item is 
shipped (in case the item is currently out of stock).  Looking through the 
BoA module, I see the "sale" transaction requires two requests to complete.

My question is, what is the best way to authorize the credit card and then 
settle the transaction after the item is shipped?  If an item is currently 
out of stock and is not included in the shipment, is there an easy way for 
me to adjust the final sale price after it has already been authorized?
