--- title: "Retrieve a non-inventory item" method: GET path: "/quickbooks-desktop/non-inventory-items/{id}" --- # Retrieve a non-inventory item `GET /quickbooks-desktop/non-inventory-items/{id}` Retrieves a non-inventory item by ID. **IMPORTANT:** If you need to fetch multiple specific non-inventory items by ID, use the list endpoint instead with the `ids` parameter. It accepts an array of IDs so you can batch the request into a single call, which is significantly faster. ## Path parameters - `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the non-inventory item to retrieve. ## Headers - `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request. ## Response `200` Returns the specified non-inventory item. - QbdNonInventoryItem - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this non-inventory item. This ID is unique across all non-inventory items but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `objectType` 'qbd_non_inventory_item', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_non_inventory_item"`. - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this non-inventory item was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - `updatedAt` string, required — The date and time when this non-inventory item was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this non-inventory item object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error. - `name` string, required — The case-insensitive name of this non-inventory item. Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its hierarchical parent objects like `fullName` does. For example, two non-inventory items could both have the `name` "Printer Ink Cartridge", but they could have unique `fullName` values, such as "Office Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge" and "Miscellaneous:Printer Ink Cartridge". - `fullName` string, required — The case-insensitive fully-qualified unique name of this non-inventory item, formed by combining the names of its hierarchical parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. For example, if a non-inventory item is under "Office Supplies" and has the `name` "Printer Ink Cartridge", its `fullName` would be "Office Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge". **NOTE**: Unlike `name`, `fullName` is guaranteed to be unique across all non-inventory item objects. However, `fullName` can still be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user when they modify the underlying `name` field. - `barcode` string, nullable, required — The non-inventory item's barcode. - `isActive` boolean, required — Indicates whether this non-inventory item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`. - `class` object, nullable, required — The non-inventory item's class. Classes can be used to categorize objects into meaningful segments, such as department, location, or type of work. In QuickBooks, class tracking is off by default. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `parent` object, nullable, required — The parent non-inventory item one level above this one in the hierarchy. For example, if this non-inventory item has a `fullName` of "Office Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge", its parent has a `fullName` of "Office Supplies". If this non-inventory item is at the top level, this field will be `null`. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `sublevel` number, required — The depth level of this non-inventory item in the hierarchy. A top-level non-inventory item has a `sublevel` of 0; each subsequent sublevel increases this number by 1. For example, a non-inventory item with a `fullName` of "Office Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge" would have a `sublevel` of 1. - `sku` string, nullable, required — The non-inventory item's stock keeping unit (SKU), which is sometimes the manufacturer's part number. - `unitOfMeasureSet` object, nullable, required — The unit-of-measure set associated with this non-inventory item, which consists of a base unit and related units. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `salesTaxCode` object, nullable, required — The default sales-tax code for this non-inventory item, determining whether it is taxable or non-taxable. This can be overridden at the transaction-line level. Default codes include "Non" (non-taxable) and "Tax" (taxable), but custom codes can also be created in QuickBooks Desktop. If QuickBooks Desktop is not set up to charge sales tax (via the "Do You Charge Sales Tax?" preference), it assigns the default non-taxable sales-tax code configured in the company file to all sales. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `salesOrPurchaseDetails` QbdSalesOrPurchaseDetails, required - `description` string, nullable, required — A description of this item. - `price` string, nullable, required — The price at which this item is purchased or sold, represented as a decimal string. - `pricePercentage` string, nullable, required — The price of this item expressed as a percentage, used instead of `price` when the item's cost is calculated as a percentage of another amount. For example, a service item that costs a percentage of another item's price. - `postingAccount` object, nullable, required — The posting account to which transactions involving this item are posted. This could be an income account when selling or an expense account when purchasing. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons.

This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `purchaseDescription` string, nullable, required — The description of this item that appears on purchase forms (e.g., checks, bills, item receipts) when it is ordered or bought from vendors. - `purchaseCost` string, nullable, required — The cost at which this item is purchased from vendors, represented as a decimal string. - `purchaseTaxCode` object, nullable, required — The tax code applied to purchases of this item. Applicable in regions where purchase taxes are used, such as Canada or the UK. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `expenseAccount` object, nullable, required — The expense account used to track costs from purchases of this item. - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object.

This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. - `externalId` string, nullable, required — A globally unique identifier (GUID) you, the developer, can provide for tracking this object in your external system. This field is immutable and can only be set during object creation. - `customFields` QbdCustomField[], required — The custom fields for the non-inventory item object, added as user-defined data extensions, not included in the standard QuickBooks object. - `ownerId` string, required — The identifier of the owner of the custom field, which QuickBooks internally calls a "data extension". For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0". For private custom fields that are only visible to the application that created them, this is a valid GUID identifying the owning application. Internally, Conductor always fetches all public custom fields (those with an `ownerId` of "0") for all objects. - `name` string, required — The name of the custom field, unique for the specified `ownerId`. For public custom fields, this name is visible as a label in the QuickBooks UI. - `type` 'amount_type' | 'date_time_type' | 'integer_type' | 'percent_type' | 'price_type' | 'quantity_type' | 'string_1024_type' | 'string_255_type', required — The data type of this custom field. - `value` string, required — The value of this custom field. The maximum length depends on the field's data type. --- [API](https://skmtc.net/conductor-is/apis/conductor-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.net/conductor-is/apis/conductor-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc-service-staging.skmtc.workers.dev/v1/apis/conductor-is/conductor-api/revisions/0b07b3ebe160/schema)
