Bill Component [IBiz Integrator for QuickBooks - V4]

Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings

A Bill indicates that the QuickBooks company owes money to a VENDOR. A Bill is the opposite of a VENDORCREDIT.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The Bill component represents a bill received from a VENDOR. When a bill is added, the total amount is automatically entered into the Accounts Payable register.

Required Fields (Add): Vendor*, TransactionDate, Items or Expenses

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

Online Edition: Leave out APAccount*. Add only expense lines (no item lines).

Example

Bill1.VendorName = "ACME Inc." '* Bill1.TransactionDate = "1/17/03" Bill1.DueDate = "2/01/03" Bill1.ItemCount = 1 Bill1.ItemName(0) = "ACME Widget X" '* Bill1.ItemAmount(0) = 29995 'number of cents Bill1.ExpenseCount = 1 Bill1.ExpenseAccountName(0) = "Shipping" '* Bill1.ExpenseAmount(0) = 1200 Bill1.Add() '*: Item must already exist in QuickBooks.

Amount is the total of the item lines and (if present) expense lines. It is computed automatically, and should never be set.

Item Lines: Item lines are used to track the purchase of goods or services. Line items may be added by first setting ItemCount. Then, for each line, set Item* (ItemId or ItemName) or ItemGroup*, and optionally ItemCost, ItemQuantity, ItemDescription, ItemClass*;, ItemCustomer*, and/or ItemAmount.

Note: For advanced users, the entire XML item structure may be set and retrieved through the "ItemsAggregate" configuration setting. Setting this will override the Item properties and will remove restrictions on updating Item Groups. However, it is up to the developer to ensure that this aggregate is formatted correctly.

Expense Lines: Expense lines are used to track portions of the total amount to expense accounts. To add expense lines to the transaction, first set ExpenseCount. This will initialize the Expenses array. Each expense will be tracked to the account specified in ExpenseAccount. The ExpenseAmount should also be specified for each expense; optionally, the ExpenseClass, ExpenseCustomer, and ExpenseMemo properties may be set as well.

The component supports a variety of other operations as well. The component's Get, Cancel, and Delete methods may be used to retrieve, cancel, and delete Bills, respectively. The OBJSEARCH component may be used to search for Bills in the QuickBooks database.
