Invoice Component
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
An Invoice indicates that a CUSTOMER owes money to the QuickBooks company. An Invoice is the opposite of a CREDITMEMO .
Syntax
TiqbInvoice
Remarks
The Invoice component represents an invoice sent to a Customer. When an invoice is added, the total amount is automatically entered into the Accounts Receivable register.
An Invoice should only be used if the Customer does not make payment at the time of the sale. If payment is made at the time of sale, the transaction should be recorded as a SalesReceipt instead.
Required Fields (Add): Customer*, Items
Supported Methods: Add, Get (Id), Cancel, Delete
Example
Invoice1.CustomerName = "John Q. Customer" '*
Invoice1.TransactionDate = "1/17/03"
Invoice1.ItemCount = 1
Invoice1.ItemName(0) = "Our Company's Product" '*
Invoice1.ItemAmount(0) = "140.00"
Invoice1.ShipDate = "1/20/03"
Invoice1.Add()
'*: Item must already exist in QuickBooks.
The total of an Invoice is the total of its item lines. There is no total amount property; when the component represents an invoice returned from QuickBooks, the total amount is divided between AppliedAmount and BalanceRemaining.
Item Lines: Item lines are used to track the sale of goods or services. Line items may be added by first setting ItemCount. Then for each line set the Item Id (or Name) or Group. You may also optionally set the Rate/RatePercent/PriceLevel, Quantity, Description, Class, TaxCode, ServiceDate, and Amount for each item as well.
The component supports a variety of other operations as well. The component's Get, Cancel, and Delete methods may be used to retrieve, cancel, and delete Invoices, respectively. The ObjSearch Component may be used to search for Invoices in the QuickBooks database.

__property String ItemAggregate[int ItemIndex] = { read=FItemAggregate, write=FSetItemAggregate };
Default Value
""
Remarks
Contains an XML aggregate of the line item. If the line item has not been modified since receiving a response from QuickBooks, the exact LineRet aggregate that QuickBooks returned will be contained in this XML aggregate. However, if you have made changes to the this line item's properties the ItemAggregate property will re-generate the line item XML with the new data.
If you set the other line item properties and then query the ItemAggregate, a LineRet aggregate will be generated from the currently set properties.
You may set this property with raw xml. So long as you do not modify any other properties (forcing the line item to regenerate based on new changes), the xml will be sent as-is to the QuickBooks request processor. It is essential that you properly format the XML that you place in this property. When setting this property manually, the component will send exactly what you have set. You must ensure your xml is appropriate for the action you are attempting. For instance, if you are Adding an Invoice, you must ensure the outer tags are "InvoiceLineAdd". If Modifying an Invoice, the outer tags must be "InvoiceLineMod".
If you do not expressly set the ItemAggregate field with your own custom XML, all of this will be taken care of you automatically by the component.
The ItemIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type
String
ItemAmount Property (Invoice Component)
Line item property: the total amount of this item.
Syntax
__property String ItemAmount[int ItemIndex] = { read=FItemAmount, write=FSetItemAmount };
Default Value
""
Remarks
Line item property: the total amount of this item.
This property represents the total amount of a transaction line. If ItemRate, ItemCost and/or ItemQuantity are specified the ItemAmount will be automatically computed by QuickBooks.
Whether ItemRate or ItemCost is used will depend on the transaction type. ItemRate is available for CreditMemo, Estimate, Invoice, PurchaseOrder, SalesOrder, and SalesReceipt transactions while ItemCost is available for Bill, CCCharge, CCCredit, Check, ItemReceipt, and VendorCredit transactions.
The amount should be formatted as a string in dollars.
The ItemIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.

Id/Name Reference Properties
This property is used to reference an object that is already done within QuickBooks. This may be done with its Id (this property) or its full Name, for which a corresponding property is defined.
Using the Id is recommended when feasible, as the Id is guaranteed to never change once defined.
Setting the value of this property will set the corresponding Name property to an empty string.
The ItemIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.
This property is not available at design time.

Reference to a group of line items.
Syntax
__property String ItemGroupId[int ItemIndex] = { read=FItemGroupId, write=FSetItemGroupId };
Default Value
""
Remarks
Reference to a group of line items.
Line item groups represent sets of items that are grouped together. A line item group is a predefined shortcut within QuickBooks. For example, a "Cheeseburger Meal" might consist of a cheeseburger, an order of french fries, and a soft drink. To include an item group in a transaction one should simply set the value of ItemGroup, and optionally, of ItemQuantity. QuickBooks will automatically expand the group into its constituent items. This will send an ItemGroup instead of a regular Item on for this index.
When an ItemGroup is returned from QuickBooks it contains xml aggregates of all of the items in the group you specified. You may access the group's regular properties (total ItemAmount, ItemQuantity, and ItemDescription), but the line items returned are not accessible with this object. However, you may parse the returned line items by passing the contents of the ItemAggregate property to the LineItemGroups component. You may use the LineItemGroups component to view or change the contents of the line items, and then pass the xml aggregate generated by the component back to the ItemAggregate field to use in an Update transaction.
The ItemIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.
This property is not available at design time.
Data Type

You may use the LineItemGroups component to view or change the contents of the line items, and then pass the xml aggregate generated by the component back to the ItemAggregate field to use in an Update transaction.
The ItemIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.
This property is not available at design time.

String
ItemId Property (Invoice Component)
Line item property: Reference to the kind of item.
Syntax
__property String ItemId[int ItemIndex] = { read=FItemId, write=FSetItemId };
Default Value
""
Remarks
Line item property: Reference to the kind of item.
Line items represent goods or services bought in a QuickBooks transaction.
Each line item is represented by a number of properties, each prefixed by Item (see the list of properties for individual components for details). Properties such as ItemQuantity and ItemDescription are always present; some properties are found in only certain types of transactions.
Item is a reference to a kind of item, predefined within QuickBooks. Generally items defined within QuickBooks have default values for ItemDescription, etc., and if only Item is set when adding a record to QuickBooks, the other properties will be set automatically.
This component is used to create a single item. However, any InQB component may be set with an unlimited number of these items. For example:
Invoice.ItemCount = 3
LineItems.ItemName = "Wingnut"
LineItems.Quantity = 8
Invoice.ItemAggregate[0] = LineItems.GetAggregate()
LineItems.ItemName = "Shovel"
LineItems.Quantity = 1
Invoice.ItemAggregate[1] = LineItems.GetAggregate()
LineItems.ItemName = "Mower blade"
LineItems.Quantity = 1
Invoice.ItemAggregate[2] = LineItems.GetAggregate()
Items may also be grouped into ItemGroups, using the LineItemGroups component.
The ItemIndex parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.
This property is not available at design time.

The following properties are currently supported:
ApplicationName | The name of the developer's application. This name will appear when the application first connects to QuickBooks; QuickBooks will display this name and prompt the user to grant or refuse access. |
CompanyFile | The name of the company file to open. If QuickBooks is not currently open with a company
file, QuickBooks will be automatically opened in the background with the file specified.
Do not set CompanyFile when QuickBooks is open; if QuickBooks is open through the
application UI, only that company file may be used.
This setting is not applicable when communicating with QB Connector. |
URL | The URL for the Remote Connector, e.g., 'http://localhost:2080'. If the URL is specified, the component will not communicate directly with QuickBooks, and will instead send a request to the specified web address.

Timeout | A timeout, in seconds, for the Remote Connector connection. If the Connector does not finish and respond within the chosen length of time, the component will generate an exception instead of hanging. |
DelayAfterClose | A delay, in milliseconds, to be applied after each time a connection to QuickBooks is closed. If QuickBooks is generating internal errors (in particular with automatic login) setting this delay to a positive value may solve the problem. |
FirewallHost | Contains the name or IP address of firewall. If a FirewallHost is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting. |
FirewallPassword | Contains a password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword configs are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception. |
FirewallPort | Contains the TCP port for the firewall FirewallHost. Note this is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value. |
FirewallType | Determines the type of firewall to connect through. Supported values are: 0 - no firewall (default), 1 - Tunneling proxy, 2 - SOCKS4 proxy, and 3 - SOCKS5 proxy. For the Tunneling proxy (1), the FirewallPort defaults to 80. For SOCKS4 (2) and SOCKS5 (3) the FirewallPort defaults to 1080. |
FirewallUser | Contains a user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall. If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword configs are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception. |
ProxyAuthorization | Supported values are 0 - Basic authorization, 1 - Digest authentication, 3 - No authentication, and 4 - NTLM authentication. |
ProxyPassword | Contains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy. |
ProxyPort | Contains the TCP port for a ProxyServer; (default 80). |
ProxySSL | Determines when to use SSL for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are 0 - Automatic (SSL for https URLs, non-SSL for http URLs), 1 - The connection is always SSL-enabled, 2 - SSL is not enabled for any connection, and 3 - Connection is through a tunneling proxy. |
ProxyServer | If a ProxyServer is specified, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified. If the ProxyServer is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the ProxyServer is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned. |
ProxyUser | Contains a user name, if authentication is to be used for the proxy. |
LocalHost | The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted. |
LocalPort | The TCP port in the local host where the component binds. |

QBRequestId Property (Invoice Component)
The Id of the next message to be sent to QuickBooks.
Syntax
__property String QBRequestId = { read=FQBRequestId, write=FSetQBRequestId };
Default Value
""
Remarks
The next message Id to be sent to QuickBooks. Message Id's are used by CheckRequestStatus to check on the status of previously made requests.
This property allows the user to determine whether a previous request was successfully processed by QuickBooks. Ordinarily QuickBooks either processes requests successfully or returns an error, but in the event of a power outage or other system failure, QuickBooks might or might not have time to process a request before issuing a response.
QuickBooks stores internally a list of QBRequestIds for which it has processed a request, and updated its internal state accordingly. Use of this property in conjunction with CheckRequestStatus allows the user to query this internal list.
To enable error recovery, the user application should store the value of QBRequestId before submitting a request to QuickBooks. If a system failure occurs, CheckRequestStatus should be called with this value of QBRequestId to find whether the request was processed before the system failed.
Unique values for QBRequestId will be generated on startup and after each request to QuickBooks. The automatically generated value may be overwritten by the user. Error checking may be turned off by setting QBRequestId equal to the empty string. See CheckRequestStatus for more information on error recovery.
This property is not available at design time.

When setting the value of a date property, the formats MM-DD-YY, MM-DD-YYYY, MM/DD/YY, and MM/DD/YYYY are also acceptable. Dates in these formats will be automatically parsed and stored in YYYY-MM-DD format.
This property is required in Accounts Payable (Bill and VendorCredit) transactions. In other kinds of transactions this property is optional.
Data Type
String
Add Method (Invoice Component)
Adds the record into QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall Add();
Remarks
Add is used to add the object to QuickBooks.
If QuickBooks is able to add the object, it will return a copy of the object, and the values of all properties will be reset from the QuickBooks response. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.
For example, read-only properties such as RefIds will be assigned. In transaction objects, line item information will be filled out, and ItemGroups will be broken up into their respective Items. Also, a total will be calculated.
If QuickBooks is not able to add the object, a trappable error will occur.
Cancel Method (Invoice Component)
Cancels (voids) the transaction.
Syntax
void __fastcall Cancel();
Remarks
Cancel causes the transaction to be voided in QuickBooks. The amount of the transaction and all line item quantities are changed to zero, and the memo is changed to "VOID:". The transaction will not, however, be deleted.
The transaction canceled in QuickBooks is the one specified by RefId. If the value of RefId is known then Get should first be called to retrieve the transaction. Otherwise the ObjSearch component should be used to search for the desired transaction in the QuickBooks database.
As the QuickBooks response to Cancel does not include the updated transaction, the values of all properties are instead set to their defaults. To get a copy of the updated transaction, the value of RefId should first be stored, and then Get should be called.
CheckRequestStatus Method (Invoice Component)
Checks whether or not the specified request was processed by QuickBooks.
Syntax
String __fastcall CheckRequestStatus(String RequestId);
Remarks
This method allows the user to determine whether a previous request was successfully processed by QuickBooks. Ordinarily QuickBooks either processes requests successfully or returns an error, but in the event of a power outage or other system failure, QuickBooks might or might not have time to process a request before issuing a response.
QuickBooks stores internally a list of QBRequestIds for which it has processed a request, and updated its internal state accordingly. Use of this method allows the user to query the list for any RequestId whose value is known.
The method returns a string corresponding to the result of the query. If the request was processed successfully, an empty string ("") will be returned. If the request was not processed, the string "Request not processed." will be returned. If the request was processed but an error occurred, a string containing the error code and a description will be returned; for example, "801: A QuickBooks internal error has occurred."
See QBRequestId for more information on error recovery.
CloseQBConnection Method (Invoice Component)
Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall CloseQBConnection();
Remarks
Invoking CloseQBConnection closes the QuickBooks connection specified in QBConnectionString. After the connection has been closed, the component will revert to its default behavior, and a new connection will be established for each request until QBConnectionString is invoked again.
In case the connection is already closed invoking CloseQBConnection will have no effect. Moreover, if multiple connections are open CloseQBConnection will only close the connection specified in QBConnectionString.
Be sure to always invoke this method after calling OpenQBConnection.
Config Method (Invoice Component)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
Delete Method (Invoice Component)
Deletes the record from QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall Delete();
Remarks
Delete causes the object to be deleted in QuickBooks. After this method is called, the values of all fields will be reset to their defaults.
The object deleted in QuickBooks is the one specified by RefId. This read-only property may be assigned either by calling Get or by assigning the value of QBResponseAggregate.
A typical example:
Customer.GetByName("John Smith") 'this will assign the RefId
Customer.Delete()
Deleting entity objects (Customer, Employee, and Vendor) requires that
QuickBooks be open in single-user mode. Transaction objects, however, may be deleted
while QuickBooks is in any mode.
Use this method with caution, as there is no way to recover deleted objects.
Get Method (Invoice Component)
Gets a single record from QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall Get(String Id);
Remarks
Get may be used to retrieve a single object from QuickBooks, based on its RefId. When the method is called, a search will be initiated for the requested object. If it is found, all properties of the component will be set to the information retrieved from QuickBooks. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.
The RefId of any component, or the Id of any reference property, may be used for the parameter. So for example, the following pseudocode would get customer information for a Customer listed on an Invoice:
Customer.Get( Invoice.CustomerId )
The GetByName method, present only in entity objects (Customer, Vendor, and Employee) and QBObject, may be used to get an object based on its Name. To retrieve multiple objects, to retrieve transaction objects whose RefId is not known, or to perform more advanced searches the ObjSearch component may be used.
GetCustomField Method (Invoice Component)
Gets a custom field value from QuickBooks.
Syntax
String __fastcall GetCustomField(String FieldName);
Remarks
This method will get the value of a custom field, which has been defined by the user from within the QuickBooks UI.
To read the values of custom fields, be sure to set QBXMLVersion to at least "2.0" when retrieving data from QuickBooks. Then, QuickBooks will return custom field information, and it will be accessible through this method.
You may also invoke Config to read the value of custom fields. However, to set the value of custom fields you must set QBXMLVersion to at least "3.0" and invoke SetCustomField.
ImportQBXML Method (Invoice Component)
Imports a QBXML response aggregate.
Syntax
void __fastcall ImportQBXML(String XMLData);
Remarks
This method imports a QBXML response aggregate. When called with a QBXML aggregate, such as a response from ObjSearch or QBWCServer the component will parse the response as if it had been received directly from QuickBooks and the applicable properties will be updated.
OpenQBConnection Method (Invoice Component)
Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall OpenQBConnection();
Remarks
Invoking OpenQBConnection will open a persistent connection to QuickBooks. After invoking OpenQBConnection, all requests such as Get, Add, etc. will use the established connection until CloseQBConnection is invoked.
The effect of OpenQBConnection is to increase performance. If OpenQBConnection is not invoked, a connection to QuickBooks will automatically be created and destroyed each time the component communicates with QuickBooks. Using OpenQBConnection will be faster, particularly in the case of automatic login.
After OpenQBConnection is invoked, QuickBooks will issue a connection ticket, and it will be stored in QBConnectionString. When CloseQBConnection is invoked the ticket will be invalidated, and any further attempts to use it will fail.
Be sure to invoke CloseQBConnection when you have finished communicating with QuickBooks. Leaving an open QuickBooks connection may lock out other integrated applications, affect QuickBooks performance, or cause other problems.
Reset Method (Invoice Component)
Resets all properties to their defaults.
Syntax
void __fastcall Reset();
Remarks
This method resets the values of all properties (and all special fields) to their defaults.
After calling this method, the component may be reused as if it were newly created.
SetCustomField Method (Invoice Component)
Sets a custom field value within QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall SetCustomField(String FieldName, String FieldValue);
Remarks
This method requires QuickBooks 2004 or above, with QBXMLVersion set to at least "3.0".
This method will immediately set the value of a QuickBooks custom field, which has been defined by the user from within the QuickBooks UI. Before calling this method, the preceding operation must retrieve the object from QuickBooks, using Get, ObjSearch, etc. Then, you may use SetCustomField to set custom field values (the fields will be modified or added, as appropriate).
Note that invoking this method will create a connection to QuickBooks if one is not already in place.
Update Method (Invoice Component)
Updates the invoice in QuickBooks.
Syntax
void __fastcall Update();
Remarks
This method will update the invoice in QuickBooks.
When the method is called, an Update request will be submitted to QuickBooks. The invoice will have its information updated based on the various property values.
If QuickBooks is able to update the object, it will return a copy of the object, and the values of all properties will be reset from the QuickBooks response. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.
QBXMLVersion must be set to "2.1" or greater to update an invoice. Moreover, QBXMLVersion should be set to the same value when retrieving the invoice from QuickBooks (either through ObjSearch or through the Get method).
Error Event (Invoice Component)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
typedef struct { int ErrorCode; String Description; } TiqbInvoiceErrorEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiqbInvoiceErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiqbInvoiceErrorEventParams *e); __property TiqbInvoiceErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
SSLServerAuthentication Event (Invoice Component)
Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.
Syntax
typedef struct { String CertEncoded; DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB; String CertSubject; String CertIssuer; String Status; bool Accept; } TiqbInvoiceSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiqbInvoiceSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiqbInvoiceSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e); __property TiqbInvoiceSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };
Remarks
This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.
When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.
SSLStatus Event (Invoice Component)
Shows the progress of the secure connection.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Message; } TiqbInvoiceSSLStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiqbInvoiceSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiqbInvoiceSSLStatusEventParams *e); __property TiqbInvoiceSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.
Status Event (Invoice Component)
Shows the progress of the QuickBooks connection.
Syntax
typedef struct { String Message; } TiqbInvoiceStatusEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiqbInvoiceStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiqbInvoiceStatusEventParams *e); __property TiqbInvoiceStatusEvent OnStatus = { read=FOnStatus, write=FOnStatus };
Remarks
The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.
Warning Event (Invoice Component)
Fired when a warning occurs.
Syntax
typedef struct { int Code; String Description; } TiqbInvoiceWarningEventParams; typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TiqbInvoiceWarningEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TiqbInvoiceWarningEventParams *e); __property TiqbInvoiceWarningEvent OnWarning = { read=FOnWarning, write=FOnWarning };
Remarks
The Warning event is fired when the component has produced, or will produce, possibly unexpected results.
Warnings may be generated by QuickBooks or the component. Starred warning codes correspond to warnings and warning codes generated by QuickBooks.
510* | Object added successfully, but cannot now be read. |
520* | Insufficient permissions to get all data. |
801 | Unable to update field (name). |
802 | Unable to parse name. |
Warning 801 will be thrown if the user attempts to Update properties
that cannot be updated. For example, the following code will cause this warning
to be fired:
Customer1.GetByName("Joe Smith")
Customer1.Email = "joe@abc.com" 'ok
Customer1.CreditLimit = "200.00" 'Not used in Update operations!
Customer1.Update()
Only the email address will be updated, and the credit limit will be unchanged.
Each property description for entity objects lists whether or not it is used
in Update operations.
Config Settings (Invoice Component)
The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.Invoice Config Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
AppendAfter: Appends an XML tag after the specified QBXML element.Write-only; Appends the specified text after the specified QBXML element (whether the QBXML element is present). This may be useful to extend the functionality of the component beyond what is provided. Example: Control1.Config("AppendAfter:ListID=<WeirdNewField>abc</WeirdNewField>") | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
AuthFlags:
Connection Flags (use for QuickBooks Simple Start).Since 2006, QuickBooks has allowed AuthFlags to be set before connecting to QuickBooks. By
default, the component can connect to Pro, Premier, and Enterprise editions of QuickBooks. However, because QuickBooks
Simple Start contains only a subset of the functionality that other desktop versions provide, Intuit does
not allow COM connection to Simple Start unless these AuthFlags explicitly indicate you wish to support it.
A list of allowable AuthFlags is provided below.
To specify support for multiple editions, OR together the values for each edition. NOTE: If the version of QuickBooks being used does not support AuthFlags, the contents of this config will be ignored. However, if QuickBooks does support this feature, setting "AuthFlags=1" (Support for Simple Start only) on a machine running QuickBooks 2013 Pro will result in an error message indicating that the Request Processor cannot be found. |

EnforceMaxLength: Indicates whether to enforce max lengths for QB Fields.If you change this setting to False, the component will no longer check (or error) when the length of a property exceeds the maximum length specified in the QuickBooks SDK. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ExchangeRate:
Currency exchange rate for this invoice.This field is only supported for QBXMLVersion 8.0 and higher.
The exchange rate is the market price for which this currency can be exchanged for the currency used by the QuickBooks company file as the "home" currency. The exchange rate should be considered a snapshot of the rates in effect at the AsOfDate. You can update the exchange rate using the exchange rate property when you add a transaction. However, you need to obtain and supply the exchange rate. If you are using USD (United States Dollars) as the home currency and are connected to the Internet, you can download the current exchange rates for all active currencies automatically in the QuickBooks UI by selecting Lists->Currency->Activities->Download latest exchange rates. (Currently, you can't do this in the SDK.) Indicates the exchange rate for the transaction.Exchange Rate is a floating-point number stored with five digits after the decimal place. The exchange rate is multiplied by the foreign currency amount to get the home currency amount; that is,ExchangeRate x (foreign currency amount) = (home currency amount). (The foreign currency and home currency are set in the QuickBooks application) |

If you are using USD (United States Dollars) as the home currency and are connected to the Internet, you can download the current exchange rates for all active currencies automatically in the QuickBooks UI by selecting Lists->Currency->Activities->Download latest exchange rates. (Currently, you can't do this in the SDK.) Indicates the exchange rate for the transaction.Exchange Rate is a floating-point number stored with five digits after the decimal place. The exchange rate is multiplied by the foreign currency amount to get the home currency amount; that is,ExchangeRate x (foreign currency amount) = (home currency amount). (The foreign currency and home currency are set in the QuickBooks application) |

GetHighestVersion: Highest QBXMLVersion supported by the installed instance of QuickBooks.If QuickBooks is installed on the system, this setting will retrieve the highest QBXMLVersion that may be used for sending transactions to QuickBooks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GetRequestProcessorDLLVersion: Returns the version of the QB Request Processor that is installed on your system. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
GetSupportedVersions: Returns a list of QBXMLVersions that are supported by QuickBooks.If QuickBooks is installed on the system, this setting will retrieve a list of all supported QBXMLVersions that may be used for sending transactions to QuickBooks. While GetHighestVersion config returns only the highest QBXMLVersion supported, this config returns ALL supported QBXMLVersions. The list is delimited with '\n' (linefeed) characters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IsReadOnly: This causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display text informing the user that its access will be read-only.The default value is false. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IsTaxIncluded: Determines if tax is included in the transaction amount.This field is only available when QBXMLVersion is "6.0" or higher, and only for transactions made with the International versions of QuickBooks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IsToBeEmailed:
When true, if no email address is on file for the customer the transaction will fail.
If this is set to true, at runtime the customer referenced in this transaction will be checked for a valid email address. If there is no valid email address, the request will fail. If there is a valid email address currently in QuickBooks for the customer, and the request succeeds, the transaction will be added to QuickBook's list of forms to be emailed, possibly in a batch.
Notice that setting this field to true does not actually perform the emailing. Only the QuickBooks user can do that from within QuickBooks. This cannot be done from the SDK. Setting this field to false does not prevent the QuickBooks user from emailing the transaction later. It simply results in the transaction NOT being placed in the list of transactions to be emailed. This field is only available when QBXMLVersion is "6.0" or higher. |

PersonalDataPref:
Whether the connecting application will require access to personal data such as SSN or credit card information.This setting allows you to let the user know immediately whether your application requires access to personal data or not.
A list of available values is provided below.
The default value is pdpOptional. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
QBConnectionMode:
The mode of connection to QuickBooks.Specifies whether the integrated application logs in using single-user or multi-user mode.
The following values are permitted:
About Single-User and Multi-User Modes If the connection to QuickBooks is made in single-user mode, QuickBooks will give exclusive access to the connecting application. It will lock out all other integrated applications; if QuickBooks and the company file are not already open in single-user mode by the QuickBooks user, the user will be locked out as well. If the connection is made in multi-user mode, QuickBooks will allow all other integrated applications access. QuickBooks end users on other machines will also be allowed to access the file. However, if the application (rather than the end user) starts QuickBooks automatically, end users on the same machine will still be locked out. If cmDontCare is specified, an appropriate connection mode will be chosen automatically. If a company file is open in either single-user or multi-user mode, the integrated application will accept that connection mode. If no company file is open, QuickBooks will login automatically in multi-user mode. About Integrated and Automatic Login Note that your application's login to QuickBooks might be either automatic or interactive. Interactive login is used when QuickBooks is already open. Access will be shared between the integrated application and the QuickBooks end user, and if multi-user mode is specified, other applications and users will have access as well. When a connection is made, QuickBooks will show a dialog window to the user, and ask the user if he/she wants to permit the connection. Automatic login is used when QuickBooks is not already open. QuickBooks will be opened in the background, and will run until your application has finished its connection with QuickBooks. The QuickBooks user interface will not be displayed, and end-users on the same machine will be locked out. End-users on other machines, however, will be allowed access if multi-user mode is specified. By default integrated applications do not have permission to login automatically. The first time an application interacts with QuickBooks, it must do so interactively, with QuickBooks and the company file open. The QuickBooks end user may then grant automatic login permission through Edit Preferences - Integrated Applications in the QuickBooks user interface. Click on the name of the application and then "Properties", and you may allow the application to login automatically. For automatic login the CompanyFile must be specified. CompanyFile, ApplicationName, and other properties relating to the QuickBooks connection may be edited through QBConnectionString. |
