The following properties are currently supported:

QBRequestAggregate Property (Account Module)

The request aggregate.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var qbRequestAggregate: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=QBRequestAggregate,setter=setQBRequestAggregate:) NSString* QBRequestAggregate;

- (NSString*)QBRequestAggregate;
- (void)setQBRequestAggregate :(NSString*)newQBRequestAggregate;

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.

QBRequestId Property (Account Module)

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

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var qbRequestId: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=QBRequestId,setter=setQBRequestId:) NSString* QBRequestId;

- (NSString*)QBRequestId;
- (void)setQBRequestId :(NSString*)newQBRequestId;

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.

QBRequestMode Property (Account Module)

Defines whether the request is made online or stored offline.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var qbRequestMode: AccountQBRequestModes {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum AccountQBRequestModes: Int32 {
  case rmOnline = 0
  case rmOffline = 1
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=QBRequestMode,setter=setQBRequestMode:) int QBRequestMode;

- (int)QBRequestMode;
- (void)setQBRequestMode :(int)newQBRequestMode;

Default Value

0

Remarks

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

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.

QBResponseAggregate Property (Account Module)

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var qbResponseAggregate: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=QBResponseAggregate,setter=setQBResponseAggregate:) NSString* QBResponseAggregate;

- (NSString*)QBResponseAggregate;
- (void)setQBResponseAggregate :(NSString*)newQBResponseAggregate;

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.

QBXMLVersion Property (Account Module)

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var qbxmlVersion: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=QBXMLVersion,setter=setQBXMLVersion:) NSString* QBXMLVersion;

- (NSString*)QBXMLVersion;
- (void)setQBXMLVersion :(NSString*)newQBXMLVersion;

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.

RefId Property (Account Module)

An alphanumerical identifier generated by the server.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var refId: String {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=refId) NSString* refId;

- (NSString*)refId;

Default Value

""

Remarks

A RefId 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 required in Update operations, and not used in Add operations.

This property is read-only.

Add Method (Account Module)

Adds the record into QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func add() throws -> Void

- (void)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.

CheckRequestStatus Method (Account Module)

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

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func checkRequestStatus(requestId: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)checkRequestStatus:(NSString*)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 (Account Module)

Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func closeQBConnection() throws -> Void

- (void)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.

Config Method (Account Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

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.

Delete Method (Account Module)

Deletes the record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func delete_() throws -> Void

- (void)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 (Account Module)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func get(id: String) throws -> Void

- (void)get:(NSString*)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 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.

GetByName Method (Account Module)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func getByName(fullName: String) throws -> Void

- (void)getByName:(NSString*)fullName;

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.

ImportQBXML Method (Account Module)

Imports a QBXML response aggregate.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func importQBXML(xmlData: String) throws -> Void

- (void)importQBXML:(NSString*)XMLData;

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.

OpenQBConnection Method (Account Module)

Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func openQBConnection() throws -> Void

- (void)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.

Reset Method (Account Module)

Resets all properties to their defaults.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func reset() throws -> Void

- (void)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.

Update Method (Account Module)

Updates the account in QuickBooks.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func update() throws -> Void

- (void)update;

Remarks

This method will account the bill in QuickBooks.

When the method is called, an Update request will be submitted to QuickBooks. The account 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 "6.0" or greater to update an account. Moreover, QBXMLVersion should be set to the same value when retrieving the account from QuickBooks (either through ObjSearch or through the Get method).

Error Event (Account Module)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)

- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

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 (Account Module)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSSLServerAuthentication(certEncoded: Data, certSubject: String, certIssuer: String, status: String, accept: inout Bool)

- (void)onSSLServerAuthentication:(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;

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 (Account Module)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSSLStatus(message: String)

- (void)onSSLStatus:(NSString*)message;

Remarks

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

Status Event (Account Module)

Shows the progress of the QuickBooks connection.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onStatus(message: String)

- (void)onStatus:(NSString*)message;

Remarks

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

Warning Event (Account Module)

Fired when a warning occurs.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onWarning(code: Int32, description: String)

- (void)onWarning:(int)code :(NSString*)description;

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.

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.
