BillPaymentChecks

Create, update, delete, and query QuickBooks Bill Payment Checks. QBXMLVersion must be set to 6.0 or higher to update a BillPaymentCheck.

Table Specific Information

BillPaymentChecks may be inserted, queried, or updated via the BillPaymentChecks or BillPaymentChecksAppliedTo tables. BillPaymentChecks may be deleted by using the BillPaymentChecks 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.

QuickBooks Desktop 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 BillPaymentChecks are Id, Date, ReferenceNumber, PayeeName, PayeeId, AccountsPayable, AccountsPayableId, 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 BillPaymentChecks WHERE TimeModified > '1/1/2011' AND TimeModified < '2/1/2011' AND ReferenceNumber LIKE '%12345%'

Insert

To add a BillPaymentCheck, specify a Payee and BankAccount. The Payee must match the Vendor associated with the Bill you are adding a payment for. The AppliedToAggregate column may be used to specify an XML aggregate of AppliedTo data. The columns that may be used in these aggregates are defined in the BillPaymentChecksAppliedTo table and it starts with AppliedTo. For example, the following will insert a new BillPaymentCheck with two AppliedTo entries:

INSERT INTO BillPaymentChecks (PayeeName, BankAccountName, AppliedToAggregate) 
VALUES ('Vu Contracting', 'Checking', 
'<BillPaymentChecksAppliedTo>
<Row><AppliedToRefId>178C1-1450221347</AppliedToRefId><AppliedToAmount>20.00</AppliedToAmount></Row>
<Row><AppliedToRefId>178C1-1450221347</AppliedToRefId><AppliedToAmount>51.25</AppliedToAmount></Row>
</BillPaymentChecksAppliedTo>')

AppliedToRefId is a reference to a BillId and can be found in Bills, BillLineItems, or BillExpenseItems.
