Item Class

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The Item class is used to add any of eight types of items to QuickBooks's item list. It may also get item data, and in some cases, may modify it as well.

Syntax

Item

Remarks

The Item component may be used to add or retrieve any of the following types of items: service, inventory, non-inventory, sales tax, discount, payment, subtotal, or other charge. To add an item to QuickBooks, first set the ItemType property to the appropriate value as well as ItemName. Then, you may set a variety of other properties and special fields, which differ depending on the type of item.

Service, Non-Inventory, and Other Charge Items

These types of items may be purchased from vendors, sold to customers, or both.

In case the item is purchased but not sold, or sold but not purchased, the Description, Price, PricePercent, and Account properties are used. The Account property is the only one required; it should specify an income account if the item is sold, or an expense account if the item is purchased.

Equivalently, you may specify PurchaseExpenseAccount, PurchaseCost, and PurchaseDescription. This will have the same effect, because QuickBooks does not distinguish between items that are purchased only and items that are sold only. However, QuickBooks data will always be returned in Description, Price, and Account.

In case the item is both sold and purchased, you should specify Description, Price, PricePercent, and Account for sales, and PurchaseDescription, PurchaseCost, PurchasePreferredVendor, and PurchaseExpenseAccount for purchase transactions. This will cause different default rates to appear on sales transactions (such as invoices) and purchase transactions (such as bills).

Example (Adding a service item) Item1.ItemType = itService '1 Item1.ItemName = "Accounting Services" Item1.Description = "General accounting services" Item1.Price = "70.00" '$70.00 per hour Item1.AccountName = "Accounting:Labor" Item1.Add() Inventory Items

Inventory items are always both sold and purchased, so the interface is similar to that for non-inventory items that are sold and purchased. Set Description, Price, and Account for sales, and PurchaseDescription, PurchaseCost, and PurchasePreferredVendor for purchases. Instead of setting PurchaseExpenseAccount you must instead set two separate accounts: PurchaseCOGSAccount refers to your Cost Of Goods Sold account, and PurchaseAssetAccount refers to your Inventory Assets account.

Other details are also available as special fields: See Config for details on how to set or query the quantity on hand and on order, reorder point, and the inventory date.

Example Item1.ItemType = itInventory '2 Item1.ItemName = "French Door" Item1.Description = "Glass French Door" 'this will appear on invoices Item1.Price = "245.00" 'Charge $245.00 to customers Item1.AccountName = "Construction:Materials" Item1.PurchaseDesciption = "Glass French Door" 'this will appear on bills Item1.PurchaseCost = "160.00" Item1.PurchasePreferredVendorName = "Joe's Doors, Inc." Item1.PurchaseCOGSAccountName = "Cost Of Goods Sold" Item1.PurchaseAssetAccountName = "Inventory Asset" Item1.Add() Other Items

Other types of items are considerably less complex.

To add a discount item to QuickBooks, set ItemName and the SalesTaxCode, as well as the Description, Price or PricePercent (here these properties refer to the rate of discount), as well as an Account.

To add a payment item to QuickBooks, set ItemName, Description, Account, and the PaymentMethod special field.

To add a sales tax item to QuickBooks, set ItemName, Description, and the TaxRate and TaxVendor special fields.

To add a subtotal item to QuickBooks, set ItemName and Description.

Example (Adding a sales tax item) Item1.ItemType = itSalesTax '6 Item1.ItemName = "San Jose, CA" Item1.Config("TaxRate=6.75") Item1.Config("TaxVendorName=San Jose Board of Taxation") Item1.Add()

Modifying Items

This functionality requires QuickBooks 2003. You must first set QBXMLVersion to "2.0" or higher before you may modify items.

Update functionality is limited to service, inventory, and non-inventory items. You may update the name, sales tax code, description(s), and price(s). However, with the exception of inventory, you may not change any of the accounts associated with items, nor can you convert items into other types of items.

In the case of inventory items, you may modify PurchaseCOGSAccount and PurchaseAssetAccount, but not the sales income account.

Getting Items

You may also use the class to get items from QuickBooks using their RefId or ItemName: simply call Get or GetByName.

It is not necessary to set ItemType before getting items from QuickBooks. Both Get and GetByName will get any type of item from QuickBooks, and will populate ItemType automatically. In case ItemType is itUnknown the SpecialItemType special field will contain QuickBooks's description of the type of item. In some cases (such as for inventory assembly items) properties such as Description, Account, etc. may contain relevant information.

int inqb_item_setqbconnectionstring(void* lpObj, const char* lpszQBConnectionString);

QString GetQBConnectionString();
int SetQBConnectionString(QString qsQBConnectionString);

Default Value

Remarks

QBConnectionString allows the user to customize the application's interaction with QuickBooks.

The connection properties should be formatted in a sequence as follows:

propertyname = "propertyvalue" propertyname = "propertyvalue" ...

The order is irrelevant, and the whitespace around the equal sign is optional.

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 class will not communicate directly with QuickBooks, and will instead send a request to the specified web address. QuickBooks and the Remote Connector should be installed at the remote location, and if the connector is listening on the specified port, it will communicate the class's request to QuickBooks, and return the response.
User	A username for the Remote Connector connection (if required on the Connector side)
Password	A password for the Remote Connector connection (if required on the Connector side)
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 class 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 class fails with an error.
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 class fails with an error.
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 class binds.
UseRDS	Whether to connect using Remote Data Sharing (RDS). If set to True, the class will attempt to connect using the RDS client installed on the machine. The RDS client and server must be configured separately. The default value is False.

Data Type

String

QBRequestAggregate Property (Item Class)

The request aggregate.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetQBRequestAggregate();
int SetQBRequestAggregate(const char* lpszQBRequestAggregate);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetQBRequestAggregate();
INT SetQBRequestAggregate(LPCWSTR lpszQBRequestAggregate);

int inqb_item_setqbrequestaggregate(void* lpObj, const char* lpszQBRequestAggregate);

QString GetQBRequestAggregate();
int SetQBRequestAggregate(QString qsQBRequestAggregate);

Default Value

Remarks

This property will be populated when QBRequestMode is set to rmOffline and a method is called. This is used when working with the QBWCServer class to generate requests to be sent to QuickBooks Web Connector.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

QBRequestId Property (Item Class)

The Id of the next message to be sent to QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetQBRequestId();
int SetQBRequestId(const char* lpszQBRequestId);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetQBRequestId();
INT SetQBRequestId(LPCWSTR lpszQBRequestId);

char* inqb_item_getqbrequestid(void* lpObj);
int inqb_item_setqbrequestid(void* lpObj, const char* lpszQBRequestId);

QString GetQBRequestId();
int SetQBRequestId(QString qsQBRequestId);

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.

Data Type

String

QBRequestMode Property (Item Class)

Defines whether the request is made online or stored offline.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetQBRequestMode();
int SetQBRequestMode(int iQBRequestMode);

RM_ONLINE(0), 
RM_OFFLINE(1)

int inqb_item_getqbrequestmode(void* lpObj);
int inqb_item_setqbrequestmode(void* lpObj, int iQBRequestMode);

int GetQBRequestMode();
int SetQBRequestMode(int iQBRequestMode);

Default Value

Remarks

This property defines the behavior of the class when calling a method. Possible values are:


0 (rmOnline - default)	The request is made normally.
1 (rmOffline)	The request is generated but not sent, and QBRequestAggregate is populated.

The use of offline mode is required when using the QBWCServer class. This allows requests to be generated and passed to QuickBooks Web Connector through the QBWCServer class.

For normal communication to QuickBooks either directly or through the QBConnector application use the default online mode.

Data Type

Integer

QBResponseAggregate Property (Item Class)

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetQBResponseAggregate();
int SetQBResponseAggregate(const char* lpszQBResponseAggregate);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetQBResponseAggregate();
INT SetQBResponseAggregate(LPCWSTR lpszQBResponseAggregate);

char* inqb_item_getqbresponseaggregate(void* lpObj);

QString GetQBResponseAggregate();
int SetQBResponseAggregate(QString qsQBResponseAggregate);

Default Value

Remarks

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks. This property is set whenever a response is received from QuickBooks.

This property may also be set to a response aggregate. When set to a QBXML aggregate, such as a response from ObjSearch or QBWCServer the class will parse the response as if it had been received directly from QuickBooks and the applicable properties will be updated.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

QBXMLVersion Property (Item Class)

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetQBXMLVersion();

int inqb_item_setqbxmlversion(void* lpObj, const char* lpszQBXMLVersion);

QString GetQBXMLVersion();
int SetQBXMLVersion(QString qsQBXMLVersion);

Default Value

"3.0"

Remarks

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message. Except as noted in the documentation, a value of "1.1" will suffice for all requests, and for all versions of QuickBooks which support integrated applications.

With each release of QuickBooks since 2002, a corresponding version of the QuickBooks SDK has also been released: 1.0 for QuickBooks 2002, 2.0 for QuickBooks 2003, 3.0 for QuickBooks 2004, etc., up to 8.0 for QuickBooks 2009. In addition, each release of QuickBooks continues to support all earlier versions of the SDK, meaning that requests using version 1.1 of the QuickBooks SDK are supported by all versions of QuickBooks. However, new requests and newer fields in existing requests are only supported in later versions of the QuickBooks SDK. As such, it is recommended that you set the QBXMLVersion property to correspond to the version of QuickBooks you are interacting with. These values are:


QuickBooks 2002	1.0, 1.1
QuickBooks 2003	2.0
QuickBooks 2004	3.0
QuickBooks 2005	4.0, 4.1
QuickBooks 2006	5.0
QuickBooks 2007	6.0
QuickBooks 2008	7.0
QuickBooks 2009	8.0
QuickBooks 2010	9.0
QuickBooks 2011	10.0
QuickBooks 2012	11.0
QuickBooks 2013	12.0
QuickBooks 2014	13.0
QuickBooks 2015	14.0
QuickBooks 2016	15.0

In addition, versions of QuickBooks outside of the U.S. released before Quickbooks 2008 adhere to a different version of the QuickBooks SDK. These versions were updated with less frequency than the U.S. SDK, and may omit features introduced in later releases:


QuickBooks Canadian 2003	CA2.0
QuickBooks Canadian 2004 to 2007	CA3.0
QuickBooks UK 2003	UK2.0
QuickBooks UK 2004 to 2007	UK3.0
QuickBooks Australian 2003	OZ2.0
QuickBooks Australian 2004 to 2007	AU3.0

With the exception of Province in Address (set State) or EligibleForT4A in Vendor (set EligibleFor1099), Canadian-only fields are read-only and may be accessed with Config.

Data Type

String

Add Method (Item Class)

Adds the record into QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Add();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Add();

int inqb_item_add(void* lpObj);

int 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

CheckRequestStatus Method (Item Class)

Checks whether or not the specified request was processed by QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* CheckRequestStatus(const char* lpszRequestId);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR CheckRequestStatus(LPCWSTR lpszRequestId);

char* inqb_item_checkrequeststatus(void* lpObj, const char* lpszRequestId);

QString CheckRequestStatus(const QString& qsRequestId);

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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

CloseQBConnection Method (Item Class)

Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int CloseQBConnection();

Unicode (Windows)
INT CloseQBConnection();

int inqb_item_closeqbconnection(void* lpObj);

int CloseQBConnection();

Remarks

Invoking CloseQBConnection closes the QuickBooks connection specified in QBConnectionString. After the connection has been closed, the class 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.

Error Handling (C++)

Config Method (Item Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);

char* inqb_item_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);

QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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.

Error Handling (C++)

Delete Method (Item Class)

Deletes the record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Delete();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Delete();

int inqb_item_delete(void* lpObj);

int 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.

Error Handling (C++)

Get Method (Item Class)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Get(const char* lpszId);

Unicode (Windows)
INT Get(LPCWSTR lpszId);

int inqb_item_get(void* lpObj, const char* lpszId);

int Get(const QString& qsId);

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 class 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 class, 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 class may be used.

Error Handling (C++)

GetByName Method (Item Class)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetByName(const char* lpszFullName);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetByName(LPCWSTR lpszFullName);

int inqb_item_getbyname(void* lpObj, const char* lpszFullName);

int GetByName(const QString& qsFullName);

Remarks

GetByName may be used to retrieve a single object from QuickBooks, based on its full Name. For Employee and Vendor objects, and for most Customer objects, the full name is given by the Name (CustomerName, VendorName, or EmployeeName property. For Customer objects that represent jobs or sub-customers, the full name will include the parent objects' name(s), and is given by the FullName special field. When the method is called, a search will be initiated for the requested object. If it is found, all properties of the class 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 full name of any class may be used for the parameter. So, for example, the following pseudocode would get customer information for a Customer listed on an Invoice:

Customer.GetByName( Invoice.CustomerName )

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 name is not known, or to perform more advanced searches the ObjSearch class may be used.

Error Handling (C++)

GetCustomField Method (Item Class)

Gets a custom field value from QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetCustomField(const char* lpszFieldName);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetCustomField(LPCWSTR lpszFieldName);

char* inqb_item_getcustomfield(void* lpObj, const char* lpszFieldName);

QString GetCustomField(const QString& qsFieldName);

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.

Error Handling (C++)

ImportQBXML Method (Item Class)

Imports a QBXML response aggregate.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int ImportQBXML(const char* lpszXMLData);

Unicode (Windows)
INT ImportQBXML(LPCWSTR lpszXMLData);

int inqb_item_importqbxml(void* lpObj, const char* lpszXMLData);

int ImportQBXML(const QString& qsXMLData);

Remarks

This method imports a QBXML response aggregate. When called with a QBXML aggregate, such as a response from ObjSearch or QBWCServer the class will parse the response as if it had been received directly from QuickBooks and the applicable properties will be updated.

Error Handling (C++)

OpenQBConnection Method (Item Class)

Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int OpenQBConnection();

Unicode (Windows)
INT OpenQBConnection();

int inqb_item_openqbconnection(void* lpObj);

int 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 class 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.

Error Handling (C++)

Reset Method (Item Class)

Resets all properties to their defaults.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Reset();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Reset();

int inqb_item_reset(void* lpObj);

int Reset();

Remarks

This method resets the values of all properties (and all special fields) to their defaults.

After calling this method, the class may be reused as if it were newly created.

Error Handling (C++)

SetCustomField Method (Item Class)

Sets a custom field value within QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SetCustomField(const char* lpszFieldName, const char* lpszFieldValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SetCustomField(LPCWSTR lpszFieldName, LPCWSTR lpszFieldValue);

int inqb_item_setcustomfield(void* lpObj, const char* lpszFieldName, const char* lpszFieldValue);

int SetCustomField(const QString& qsFieldName, const QString& qsFieldValue);

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.

Error Handling (C++)

Update Method (Item Class)

Updates the item in QuickBooks.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Update();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Update();

int inqb_item_update(void* lpObj);

int Update();

Remarks

Only supported for US versions of QuickBooks 2003 or higher. You must set QBXMLVersion to "2.0" or higher before invoking this method.

This method will update the item in QuickBooks. Only inventory items, non-inventory items, and service items may be updated. If you attempt to invoke Update when ItemType is not set to itInventory, itNonInventory, or itService, the class will fail with an error.

When the method is called, an Update request will be submitted to QuickBooks. The item represented by RefId 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.

Not all property values can be modified through /n software QuickBooks Integrator. In particular, for non-inventory and service items the values of Account and PurchaseExpenseAccount may not be modified, and their values will be ignored when submitting an Update request.

One condition must be met for an Update operation to succeed: QuickBooks checks a property called EditSequence. EditSequence is similar to RefId, but is changed every time the object is changed. When an Updateoperation is submitted, the server compares EditSequence with its own EditSequence for the object. If they match, this means that the client program has the latest copy of the object, and the Update operation is permitted. If they don't match, an error will be returned.

If this object represents a value returned from QuickBooks (i.e., a Get or Add call has been made, or the QBResponseAggregate property has been set), the EditSequence will be automatically set. Otherwise this value may be accessed through Config.

Error Event (Item Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireError(ItemErrorEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  const char *Description;
  int reserved;
} ItemErrorEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireError(ItemErrorEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  INT ErrorCode;
  LPCWSTR Description;
  INT reserved;
} ItemErrorEventParams;

#define EID_ITEM_ERROR 1

virtual INT INQB_CALL FireError(INT &iErrorCode, LPSTR &lpszDescription);

class ItemErrorEventParams {
public:
  int ErrorCode();

  const QString &Description();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void Error(ItemErrorEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass Item and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireError(ItemErrorEventParams *e) {...}

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 (Item Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(ItemSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  const char *CertEncoded;
  int lenCertEncoded;
  const char *CertSubject;
  const char *CertIssuer;
  const char *Status;
  int Accept;
  int reserved;
} ItemSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(ItemSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  LPCSTR CertEncoded;
  INT lenCertEncoded;

  const QString &Status();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void SSLServerAuthentication(ItemSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass Item and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(ItemSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}

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 (Item Class)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLStatus(ItemSSLStatusEventParams *e);

typedef struct {

// Or, subclass Item and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireStatus(ItemStatusEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

Warning Event (Item Class)

Fired when a warning occurs.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireWarning(ItemWarningEventParams *e);

typedef struct {
  int Code;
  const char *Description;
  int reserved;
} ItemWarningEventParams;


Unicode (Windows)
virtual INT FireWarning(ItemWarningEventParams *e);

};

// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal.
void Warning(ItemWarningEventParams *e);

// Or, subclass Item and override this emitter function.
virtual int FireWarning(ItemWarningEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

The Warning event is fired when the class has produced, or will produce, possibly unexpected results.

Warnings may be generated by QuickBooks or the class. 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.

Unlisted QuickBooks warnings will cause the class to throw an exception instead.

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 (Item Class)

The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

Item Config Settings

AssetAcquiredAs: Indicates whether this item was new or used when the business acquired it.

Valid values include "New" or "Old". If AssetAcquiredAs is left blank, it will not be sent in the request.

AssetBookValue: A reasonable estimate of the sales value of the fixed asset, as of the end of the year.

AssetCostBasis: The total cost of the fixed asset.

This can include the cost of improvements or repairs. This amount is used to figure depreciation.

AssetDepreciation: The amount the fixed asset has lost in value since it was purchased, as of the end of the year.

AssetDescription: Description of the asset.

Marker, brand, and so on.

AssetLocation: Where the asset is located or has been placed into service.

AssetNotes: Additional information about the asset.

AssetNumber: The number used by the QuickBooks Fixed Asset Manager to identify this asset.

AssetPONumber: The purchase order number associated with this asset.

AssetSerialNumber: The serial number of the asset.

AssetWarrantyExpires: The date when the warranty for this asset expires.

The format is YYYY-MM-DD

AuthFlags: Connection Flags (use for QuickBooks Simple Start).

Since 2006, QuickBooks has allowed AuthFlags to be set before connecting to QuickBooks. By default, the class 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.


"" or 0	Do not send any auth flags
0x01	Support QB Simple Start
0x02	Support QB Pro
0x04	Support QB Premier
0x08	Support QB Enterprise
0x80000000	Force Auth Dialog

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.

EditSequence: An identifier for this copy of the object.

Indicates the state of an object when doing an Update.

EnforceMaxLength: Indicates whether to enforce max lengths for QB Fields.

If you change this setting to False, the class will no longer check (or error) when the length of a property exceeds the maximum length specified in the QuickBooks SDK.

FullName: The name of the Item.

The name of the Item, including any ancestors. If this object has a Parent, this is the version of the name that should be used in Get operations. This setting is read-only.

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.

InventoryAverageCost: The average purchase cost for this inventory item.

This setting is read-only.

InventoryDate: The date when the item was converted into an inventory item.

The date when this item was converted into an inventory item from some other type of item.

InventoryQuantityOnOrder: The number of these items that have been ordered from vendors, but not received.

This setting is read-only.

InventoryQuantityOnSalesOrder: The number of these items that have been ordered by customers, but not delivered.

This setting is read-only.

IsActive: Indicates whether the object is currently enabled for use by QuickBooks.

The default value is true.

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.

PartNumber: The Manufacturer's Part Number for the Item.

This setting is only available when the QBXMLVersion is "7.0" or higher, and applicable only for Inventory and Non-Inventory items.

PaymentMethodId: The method of payment, i.e., 'Check', 'Credit Card', etc.

PaymentMethodName: The method of payment, i.e., 'Check', 'Credit Card', etc.

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.


pdpOptional	Causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display a checkbox for user selection asking whether the user wants to allow the application to access personal data.
pdpRequired	Causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to not display the personal information checkbox for user selection, and instead display a warning that the application needs to access personal data.
pdpNotNeeded	Causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to not display the personal information checkbox for user selection, and instead display an informational message that the application will NOT access personal data.

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:


0	Don't Care
1	Single-User Mode
2	Multi-User Mode

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.

QBFileStatus: The status of the company file as it pertains to accepting connections.

This setting may be queried before attempting to connect to QuickBooks to determine the current company file status. When queried the class will attempt to determine whether a subsequent connection using the provided QBConnectionString value would succeed. Possible return values are:


0	The company file will accept the connection. This indicates that no company file is open, or the desired company file is already open.
1	The company file will not accept the connection. This indicates a different company file is already open.

QBOpenCompanyFile: The file currently open in QuickBooks.

The name of the file currently open in QuickBooks, specified completely with the path. This field is read-only.

A query is submitted to QuickBooks when the value of this property is read. The empty string will be returned if no file is open, if QuickBooks is open in an access mode incompatible with QBConnectionMode, or if an error occurs.

If the value of this property is nonempty, the class may interact exclusively with the open file.

SalesExpense: Any expenses that were incurred during the sale of a fixed asset.

This is only applicable if the asset has been sold. Related properties include Description, Price and DateSold.

SendRawXML: Sends specified XML to quickbooks without modification.

Available for write only. Immediately sends the specified XML over the current or default QuickBooks connection (as specified elsewhere), and returns the QBXML response. Syntax: Control1.Config("SendRawXML=<?xml version="1.0" ?>...")

SpecialItemType: The type of the item when ItemType is Unknown.

The type of item in case ItemType is itUnknown. Calling Add on such an item will result in an error, however Get or GetByName can get any item without causing an error. ItemName will contain the name of the item, and other properties may contain relevant information as well.

SSLAcceptServerCert: The SSL certificate being used by the QuickBooks Gateway (aka Remote Connector).

The Base-64 encoded certificate being used by the Remote Connector (you may get this certificate from the Remote Connector by going to the Security tab, and clicking Export.)

This is only necessary if using a self-signed certificate, or any other certificate that has not been signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) trusted by the system.

SSLAcceptServerCertFile: The SSL certificate file being used by the QuickBooks Gateway (aka Remote Connector).

If your public key certificate is stored in a file, you may set this configuration setting to the full path of the certificate, and it will be immediately read from disk and stored in SSLAcceptServerCert. Equivalent to setting SSLAcceptServerCert to file contents.

Reading the value of this setting will return an empty string.

StopOnError: Specifies how QuickBooks is to proceed if an error occurs in processing of the current request.

If StopOnError is True (default), QuickBooks will stop processing when an error occurs. Requests that have already been processed will not be rolled back. An error is returned for the operation that caused the error condition. If StopOnError is False, QuickBooks will continue processing the remaining requests if an error occurs.

Sublevel: The number of ancestors this Item has.

This setting is read-only.

TaxRate: The percentage rate of tax.

TaxVendorId: The VENDOR or tax agency to whom taxes are due.

TaxVendorName: The VENDOR or tax agency to whom taxes are due.

TimeCreated: The time the object was created.

This config setting is read-only.

TimeModified: The time the object was created.

This config setting is read-only.

UnattendedModePref: Whether connecting while QuickBooks is closed is required or optional for the user.

This setting allows you to let the user know immediately whether your application requires the ability to access QuickBooks while QuickBooks is closed.

A list of available values is provided below.


umpOptional	Causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display its default selections and let the user pick. Use this setting if you do not need unattended mode.
umpRequired	Causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display only the selection choices of "No" (no authorization) or "Yes, allow access even if QuickBooks is not running" (authorize unattended mode).

The default value is umpOptional.

UnitOfMeasureId: Id of the units that the item is measured in.

This setting is only available when the QBXMLVersion is "7.0" or higher.

UnitOfMeasureName: Name of the units that the item is measured in.

This setting is only available when the QBXMLVersion is "7.0" or higher.

VendorOrPayeeName: Name of the vendor from whom this asset was purchased.

WarningCodes: A comma-separated list of QuickBooks warning codes that should not result in an exception.

By default, the class will throw an exception when a status code with severity "Warn" is returned in a QuickBooks response. Set this field to a comma-separated list of status codes that should not throw an exception if returned. Note that the QuickBooks response code is not necessarily the same as the exception code from the resulting exception.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo: Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

Product: The product the license is for.
Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

MaskSensitive: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.

Trappable Errors (Item Class)

Error Handling (C++)

Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Errors

The following errors may be generated by the class. Note that frequently the error message will contain more specific information than what is listed here.
