Syntax

DPayments.InQB.Journalentry

Remarks

A JournalEntry represents a general journal entry made directly in the company's chart of accounts.

A journal entry must include one or more JournalLines. To set credit or debit lines, first add an appropriate number of lines to the JournalLines collections." Then for each line, set an Account (Name or Id) and an Amount. You may set Entity to associate a customer or vendor with the line, and Class and Memo may be set as well.

Before adding the journal entry to QuickBooks, the transaction must be in balance: The total amount of the credit lines must be equal to the total amount of the debit lines. If the transaction is not in balance, QuickBooks will return an error.

If desired, you may set a RefNumber and TransactionDate for the journal entry as well.

Required Fields (Add):JournalLines

Supported Methods:Add, Get (Id), Cancel, Delete

Example JournalEntry1.RefNumber = "123"; JournalEntry1.TransactionDate = "2013-12-16"; JournalEntry1.JournalLines.Add(new JournalLine()); JournalEntry1.JournalLines[0].LineType = JournalLineTypes.jltCredit; JournalEntry1.JournalLines[0].AccountName = "Trucks:Depreciation"; //* JournalEntry1.JournalLines[0].EntityName = "Annual Depreciation"; //* JournalEntry1.JournalLines[0].Amount = "3000.00"; JournalEntry1.JournalLines.Add(new JournalLine()); JournalEntry1.JournalLines[1].LineType = JournalLineTypes.jltDebit; JournalEntry1.JournalLines[1].AccountName = "Depreciation Expense"; //* JournalEntry1.JournalLines[1].Amount = "3000.00"; JournalEntry1.Add(); //*: Item must already exist in QuickBooks.

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 journal entries, respectively. The ObjSearch Component may be used to search for JournalEntry records in the QuickBooks database.

Adjustment Property (JournalEntry Component)

Indicates whether this Journal Entry is an adjustment or not.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public JournalentryAdjustments Adjustment { get; set; }

enum JournalentryAdjustments {
  jeaNotSet,
  jeaIsAdjustment,
  jeaIsNotAdjustment
}

Public Property Adjustment As JournalentryAdjustments

Enum JournalentryAdjustments
  jeaNotSet
  jeaIsAdjustment
  jeaIsNotAdjustment
End Enum

Default Value

0

Remarks

When a change is an "adjustment," the original information is retained, usually so an accountant can see the effects of the adjustment. The use of this property requires QBXMLVersion to be 3.0 or greater.

JournalLines Property (JournalEntry Component)

Specifies a collection of credit or debit transactions inside a General Journal Entry.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public JournalLineList JournalLines { get; }

Public Property JournalLines As JournalLineList

Remarks

JournalLines represents a collection of Debit and Credit lines. All Debit and Credit lines must be in balance. The total Amount for all Debit lines must match the total Amount for all Debit lines, or QuickBooks will return an error.

Note: If no amount is included in the first credit or debit line of a journal entry in the QuickBooks user interface, then subsequent SDK queries on that JournalEntry object will fail XML validation.

This property is not available at design time.

QBConnectionString Property (JournalEntry Component)

An aggregate consisting of various QuickBooks connection properties.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBConnectionString { get; set; }

Public Property QBConnectionString As String

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:

QBRequestAggregate Property (JournalEntry Component)

The request aggregate.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBRequestAggregate { get; set; }

Public Property QBRequestAggregate As String

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 component to generate requests to be sent to QuickBooks Web Connector.

This property is not available at design time.

QBRequestId Property (JournalEntry Component)

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

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBRequestId { get; set; }

Public Property QBRequestId As String

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.

QBRequestMode Property (JournalEntry Component)

Defines whether the request is made online or stored offline.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public JournalentryQBRequestModes QBRequestMode { get; set; }

enum JournalentryQBRequestModes {
  rmOnline,
  rmOffline
}

Public Property QBRequestMode As JournalentryQBRequestModes

Enum JournalentryQBRequestModes
  rmOnline
  rmOffline
End Enum

Default Value

0

Remarks

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

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

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

QBResponseAggregate Property (JournalEntry Component)

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBResponseAggregate { get; set; }

Public Property QBResponseAggregate As String

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 component 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.

QBXMLVersion Property (JournalEntry Component)

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBXMLVersion { get; set; }

Public Property QBXMLVersion As String

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:

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:

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.

This property is not available at design time.

RefId Property (JournalEntry Component)

An alphanumerical identifier generated by the server.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string RefId { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property RefId As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

An Id is an alphanumerical identifier assigned by the server whenever an object is added to QuickBooks. It is guaranteed to be unique across all objects of the same type.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

RefNumber Property (JournalEntry Component)

Reference number for the transaction.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string RefNumber { get; set; }

Public Property RefNumber As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the reference number assigned to a transaction. Depending on the type of transaction, it appears in the QuickBooks user interface as Bill Number, Invoice Number, etc.

Reference numbers are alphanumeric strings and are not limited to actually being numbers.

For some types of transactions, if RefNumber is not assigned, QuickBooks will automatically assign a unique one. Reference numbers should generally be unique, but are not guaranteed to be so. It is recommended that applications generating their own reference numbers take steps to ensure their uniqueness.

TransactionDate Property (JournalEntry Component)

Date of transaction.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string TransactionDate { get; set; }

Public Property TransactionDate As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The date of the transaction.

The standard formatting for dates is YYYY-MM-DD; i.e., September 2, 2002 is formatted as 2002-09-02. When getting the value of a date property, the date will always be in this format.

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 unless QBXMLVersion is at least "2.0" (in which case QuickBooks will assign a default).

Add Method (JournalEntry Component)

Adds the record into QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Add();

Public Sub 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 (JournalEntry Component)

Cancels (voids) the transaction.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Cancel();

Public Sub 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 (JournalEntry Component)

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

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string CheckRequestStatus(string requestId);

Public Function CheckRequestStatus(ByVal RequestId As String) As String

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void CloseQBConnection();

Public Sub 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 (JournalEntry Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string Config(string configurationString);

Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Deletes the record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Delete();

Public Sub 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 (JournalEntry Component)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Get(string id);

Public Sub Get(ByVal Id As String)

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Gets a custom field value from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string GetCustomField(string fieldName);

Public Function GetCustomField(ByVal FieldName As String) As String

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Imports a QBXML response aggregate.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void ImportQBXML(string XMLData);

Public Sub ImportQBXML(ByVal XMLData As String)

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void OpenQBConnection();

Public Sub 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 (JournalEntry Component)

Resets all properties to their defaults.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Reset();

Public Sub 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 (JournalEntry Component)

Sets a custom field value within QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void SetCustomField(string fieldName, string fieldValue);

Public Sub SetCustomField(ByVal FieldName As String, ByVal FieldValue As String)

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Updates the sales order in QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Update();

Public Sub Update()

Remarks

This method will update the sales order in QuickBooks.

When the method is called, an Update request will be submitted to QuickBooks. The sales order 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 "3.0" or greater to update a sales order. Moreover, QBXMLVersion should be set to the same value when retrieving the sales order from QuickBooks (either through ObjSearch or through the Get method).

Error Event (JournalEntry Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnErrorHandler OnError;

public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, JournalentryErrorEventArgs e);

public class JournalentryErrorEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int ErrorCode { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As JournalentryErrorEventArgs)

Public Class JournalentryErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication;

public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, JournalentrySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e);

public class JournalentrySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string CertEncoded { get; }
  public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; }
  public string CertSubject { get; }
  public string CertIssuer { get; }
  public string Status { get; }
  public bool Accept { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSSLServerAuthentication As OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(sender As Object, e As JournalentrySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs)

Public Class JournalentrySSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncoded As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Status As String
  Public Property Accept As Boolean
End Class

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 (JournalEntry Component)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus;

public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, JournalentrySSLStatusEventArgs e);

public class JournalentrySSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As JournalentrySSLStatusEventArgs)

Public Class JournalentrySSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

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

Status Event (JournalEntry Component)

Shows the progress of the QuickBooks connection.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnStatusHandler OnStatus;

public delegate void OnStatusHandler(object sender, JournalentryStatusEventArgs e);

public class JournalentryStatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnStatus As OnStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As JournalentryStatusEventArgs)

Public Class JournalentryStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

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

Warning Event (JournalEntry Component)

Fired when a warning occurs.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnWarningHandler OnWarning;

public delegate void OnWarningHandler(object sender, JournalentryWarningEventArgs e);

public class JournalentryWarningEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Code { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnWarning As OnWarningHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnWarningHandler(sender As Object, e As JournalentryWarningEventArgs)

Public Class JournalentryWarningEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Code As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

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.

Unlisted QuickBooks warnings will cause the component 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.
