BillLineItems

Create, update, delete, and query QuickBooks Bill Line Items.

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.

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 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 Bills and BillExpenseItems to insert a Bill.

To add a Bill, specify a Vendor, Date, and at least one Expense or Line Item. All Line Item columns can be used for inserting multiple Line Items for a new Bill transaction. For example, the following will insert a new Bill with two Line Items:

INSERT INTO BillLineItems#TEMP (VendorName, Date, ItemName, ItemQuantity) VALUES ('Cal Telephone', '1/1/2011', 'Repairs', 1)
INSERT INTO BillLineItems#TEMP (VendorName, Date, ItemName, ItemQuantity) VALUES ('Cal Telephone', '1/1/2011', 'Removal', 2)
INSERT INTO BillLineItems (VendorName, Date, ItemName, ItemQuantity) SELECT VendorName, Date, ItemName, ItemQuantity FROM BillLineItems#TEMP
