Manages individual lines within QuickBooks Journal Entries, supporting creation, updates, deletion, and queries for detailed accounting entries.

Table Specific Information

JournalEntries are unique in that the Credit Line Items and Debit Line Items must add up to the same total in one transaction. It is not possible to change a Journal Line Item one at a time and thus end up with an unbalanced transaction. Note that while Journal Entry Lines can be created with a new Journal Entry, they cannot be added or removed from an existing Journal Entry.

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 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 JournalEntries are Id, Date, TimeModified, ReferenceNumber, LineEntityName, LineEntityId, LineAccount, and LineAccountId. 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 JournalEntryLines WHERE TimeModified > '1/1/2011' AND TimeModified < '2/1/2011' AND ReferenceNumber LIKE '%12345%'

Insert

To add a JournalEntry, at least one Credit and one Debit Line must be added. Both types of lines are denoted by the Line columns. Debit Lines have a LineType of Debit while Credit Lines have a LineType of Credit. For example, to insert a JournalEntry:

INSERT INTO JournalEntryLines#TEMP (ReferenceNumber, LineType, LineAccount, LineAmount) VALUES ('12345', 'Credit', 'Retained Earnings', '100')
INSERT INTO JournalEntryLines#TEMP (ReferenceNumber, LineType, LineAccount, LineAmount) VALUES ('12345', 'Credit', 'Note Payable - Bank of Anycity', '20')
INSERT INTO JournalEntryLines#TEMP (ReferenceNumber, LineType, LineAccount, LineAmount) VALUES ('12345', 'Debit', 'Checking', '120')
INSERT INTO JournalEntryLines (ReferenceNumber, LineType, LineAccount, LineAmount) SELECT ReferenceNumber, LineType, LineAccount, LineAmount FROM JournalEntryLines#TEMP

To delete a JournalEntry, simply perform a DELETE statement and set the Id equal to the JournalEntryId you wish to delete. For example:

DELETE FROM JournalEntries WHERE Id = '16336-1450191232'
