Table Specific Information

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 Accounts Hosted allows only a small subset of columns to be used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT query. These columns can only be used with the equals or = comparison. The available columns for Items are Id, TimeModified, FullName, Type, and IsActive. TimeModified may be used with the >, >=, <, <=, or = conditions and may be used twice to specify a range. FullName may be used with the = or LIKE conditions to establish a starts-with, ends-with, or contains syntax. For example:

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

Insert

When inserting the Item, specify the Type and Name fields. Depending on the Type, other columns may also be required in the insertion. See the list below to see which columns are required for special cases:

FixedAsset: Requires Name, Type, AcquiredAs, PurchaseDesc, and PurchaseDate.
SalesTaxGroup: Requires Name, Type, and at least one SalesTax Line Item. SalesTaxGroups must be inserted via the ItemLineItems table.
