Bills

Create, update, delete, and query Reckon Bills.

Table Specific Information

Bills may be inserted, queried, or updated via the Bills, BillExpenseItems, or BillLineItems tables. Bills may be deleted by using the Bills table.

This table has a Custom Fields column. See the Custom Fields page for more information.

Select

By default, SupportEnhancedSQL is set to true, and the following will be honored if present. Other filters will be executed client side. If SupportEnhancedSQL is set to false, only the following filters will be honored.

Reckon allows only a small subset of columns to be used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT query. These columns can typically be used with only the equals or = comparison. The available columns for Bills are Id, Date, ReferenceNumber, VendorName, VendorId, AccountsPayable, AccountsPayableId, IsPaid, and TimeModified. TimeModified and Date may be used with the >, >=, <, <=, or = conditions and may be used twice to specify a range. ReferenceNumber may be used with the = or LIKE conditions to establish a starts-with, ends-with, or contains syntax. For example:

SELECT * FROM Bills WHERE TimeModified > '1/1/2011' AND TimeModified < '2/1/2011' AND ReferenceNumber LIKE '%12345%'

Insert

You can also use BillLineItems and BillExpenseItems to insert a bill.

To add a Bill, specify a Vendor, Date, and at least one Expense or Line Item. The ItemAggregate and ExpenseAggregate columns may be used to specify an XML aggregate of Line or Expense Item data. The columns that may be used in these aggregates are defined in the BillLineItems and BillExpenseItems tables and it starts with Item and Expense. For example, the following will insert a new Bill with two Line Items:

INSERT INTO Bills (VendorName, Date, ItemAggregate) 
VALUES ('Cal Telephone', '1/1/2011', 
'<BillLineItems>
<Row><ItemName>Repairs</ItemName><ItemQuantity>1</ItemQuantity></Row>
<Row><ItemName>Removal</ItemName><ItemQuantity>2</ItemQuantity></Row>
</BillLineItems>')

To insert subitems, set the ItemName field to the FullName of the item; for example, '<Row><ItemName>Subs:Carpet</ItemName><ItemQuantity>0</ItemQuantity></Row>'
