Remarks

The BillPayment class provides the functionality found in the Pay Bills form in the QuickBooks UI. You can reach this form by selecting Retail->Pay Bills from the main QuickBooks menubar. If you want to pay multiple bills, you must issue a separate request for each bill pay.

If you are using more than one Accounts payable account, make sure that the APAccountId and/or APAccountName matches the account that was used when the Bill was originally added. That is, the bill was entered in a particular account payable: use that same account payable when you pay the bill using this request.

You may use a credit card or check to make the billpayment by setting the PaymentMethod property. If using a credit card, the CreditCardName or CreditCardId properties are required. If paying by check, the BankAccountName or BankAccountId properties are required, and you may optionally use the RefNumber property to indicate the check number.

Required Fields (Add):PayeeName, AppliedTo, PaymentMethod, RefNumber or IsToBePrinted, BankAccountName or BankAccountId (Checks), CreditCardName or CreditCardId (Credit Cards)

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

Example: BillPayment1.PayeeName = "Daigle Lighting" BillPayment1.BankAccountName = "Checking" BillPayment1.AppliedToCount = 1 BillPayment1.AppliedToRefId(0) = "5CAE-1197739628" BillPayment1.AppliedToPaymentAmount(0) = "10.00" BillPayment1.PaymentMethod = BillpaymentPaymentMethods.pmCheck BillPayment1.IsToBePrinted = true BillPayment1.Add() The class supports a variety of other operations as well. The class's Get, Cancel, and Delete methods may be used to retrieve, cancel, and delete BILLPAYMENTSs, respectively. The ObjSearch Class may be used to search for BILLPAYMENTSs in the QuickBooks database.

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.

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function getQBRequestId();


public function setQBRequestId($value);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 29 );


inqb_billpayment_set($res, 29, $value );

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Defines whether the request is made online or stored offline.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getQBRequestMode();


public function setQBRequestMode($value);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 30 );


inqb_billpayment_set($res, 30, $value );

Default Value

0

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getQBResponseAggregate();


public function setQBResponseAggregate($value);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 31 );


inqb_billpayment_set($res, 31, $value );

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getQBXMLVersion();


public function setQBXMLVersion($value);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 32 );


inqb_billpayment_set($res, 32, $value );

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.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

RefId Property (InQB_BillPayment Class)

An alphanumerical identifier generated by the server.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getRefId();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 33 );

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.

Data Type

String

RefNumber Property (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Reference number for the transaction.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getRefNumber();


public function setRefNumber($value);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 34 );


inqb_billpayment_set($res, 34, $value );

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.

Data Type

String

TransactionDate Property (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Date of transaction.

Object Oriented Interface

public function getTransactionDate();


public function setTransactionDate($value);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_get($res, 35 );


inqb_billpayment_set($res, 35, $value );

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 in Accounts Payable (Bill and VendorCredit) transactions. In other kinds of transactions this property is optional.

Data Type

String

Add Method (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Adds the record into QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doAdd();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_add($res);

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Cancels (voids) the transaction.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doCancel();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_cancel($res);

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 class 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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

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

Object Oriented Interface

public function doCheckRequestStatus($requestid);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_checkrequeststatus($res, $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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doCloseQBConnection();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_closeqbconnection($res);

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConfig($configurationstring);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_config($res, $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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Deletes the record from QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDelete();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_delete($res);

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doGet($id);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_get($res, $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.

GetCustomField Method (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Gets a custom field value from QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doGetCustomField($fieldname);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_getcustomfield($res, $fieldname);

Remarks

This method will get the value of a custom field, which has been defined by the user from within the QuickBooks UI.

To read the values of custom fields, be sure to set QBXMLVersion to at least "2.0" when retrieving data from QuickBooks. Then, QuickBooks will return custom field information, and it will be accessible through this method.

You may also invoke Config to read the value of custom fields. However, to set the value of custom fields you must set QBXMLVersion to at least "3.0" and invoke SetCustomField.

ImportQBXML Method (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Imports a QBXML response aggregate.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doImportQBXML($xmldata);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_importqbxml($res, $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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doOpenQBConnection();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_openqbconnection($res);

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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Resets all properties to their defaults.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doReset();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_reset($res);

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.

SetCustomField Method (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Sets a custom field value within QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doSetCustomField($fieldname, $fieldvalue);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_setcustomfield($res, $fieldname, $fieldvalue);

Remarks

This method requires QuickBooks 2004 or above, with QBXMLVersion set to at least "3.0".

This method will immediately set the value of a QuickBooks custom field, which has been defined by the user from within the QuickBooks UI. Before calling this method, the preceding operation must retrieve the object from QuickBooks, using Get, ObjSearch, etc. Then, you may use SetCustomField to set custom field values (the fields will be modified or added, as appropriate).

Note that invoking this method will create a connection to QuickBooks if one is not already in place.

Update Method (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Updates the bill in QuickBooks.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doUpdate();

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_do_update($res);

Remarks

This method will update the bill in QuickBooks.

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

Error Event (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireError($param);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_register_callback($res, 1, array($this, 'fireError'));

Parameter List

 'errorcode'
 '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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLServerAuthentication($param);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_register_callback($res, 2, array($this, 'fireSSLServerAuthentication'));

Parameter List

 'certencoded'
 'certsubject'
 'certissuer'
 'status'
 '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 (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireSSLStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_register_callback($res, 3, array($this, 'fireSSLStatus'));

Parameter List

 'message'

Remarks

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

Status Event (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Shows the progress of the QuickBooks connection.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireStatus($param);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_register_callback($res, 4, array($this, 'fireStatus'));

Parameter List

 'message'

Remarks

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

Warning Event (InQB_BillPayment Class)

Fired when a warning occurs.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireWarning($param);

Procedural Interface

inqb_billpayment_register_callback($res, 5, array($this, 'fireWarning'));

Parameter List

 'code'
 '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.

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 (BillPayment 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.

BillPayment Config Settings

AppliedToAggregate[index]:   Contains the XML aggregate of the AppliedTo element. If the line item has not been modified since receiving a response from QuickBooks, the exact AppliedTo aggregate that QuickBooks returned will be contained in this XML aggregate. However, if you have made changes to the AppliedTo fields, the Aggregate field will re-generate the XML with the new data. If you set the other line item fields and then query the Aggregate, an AppliedTo aggregate will be generated from the currently set fields. You may set this field with raw XML. So long as you do not modify any other fields (forcing the aggregate to regenerate based on new changes), the XML will be sent as-is to the QuickBooks request processor. It is essential that you properly format the XML that you place in this field. When setting this field manually, the component will send exactly what you have set. You must ensure your XML is appropriate for the action you are attempting. For instance, if you are Adding, you must ensure the outer tags are "AppliedToTxnAdd". If modifying, the outer tags must be "AppliedToTxnMod". If you do not expressly set the Aggregate field with your own custom XML, all of this will be taken care of you automatically by the component.

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.

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.

GetHighestVersion:   Highest QBXMLVersion supported by the installed instance of QuickBooks. If QuickBooks is installed on the system, this setting will retrieve the highest QBXMLVersion that may be used for sending transactions to QuickBooks.

GetRequestProcessorDLLVersion:   Returns the version of the QB Request Processor that is installed on your system.

GetSupportedVersions:   Returns a list of QBXMLVersions that are supported by QuickBooks. If QuickBooks is installed on the system, this setting will retrieve a list of all supported QBXMLVersions that may be used for sending transactions to QuickBooks. While GetHighestVersion config returns only the highest QBXMLVersion supported, this config returns ALL supported QBXMLVersions. The list is delimited with '\n' (linefeed) characters.

IsReadOnly:   This causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display text informing the user that its access will be read-only. The default value is false.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
