Headers

Conductor-End-User-Idstring required

The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

Example:end_usr_1234567abcdefg

The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

Request body

accountIdstring required

The bank or credit card account to which this credit card credit is posted.

payeeIdstring

The vendor or company from whom this credit card credit was received for purchased merchandise or services.

transactionDatestring date required

The date of this credit card credit, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD).

refNumberstring

The case-sensitive user-defined reference number for this credit card credit, which can be used to identify the transaction in QuickBooks. This value is not required to be unique and can be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user. When left blank in this create request, this field will be left blank in QuickBooks (i.e., it does not auto-increment).

Maximum length: 11 characters.

memostring

A memo or note for this credit card credit.

salesTaxCodeIdstring

The sales-tax code for this credit card credit, determining whether it is taxable or non-taxable. If set, this overrides any sales-tax codes defined on the payee. This can be overridden on the credit card credit's individual lines.

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.

exchangeRatenumber

The market exchange rate between this credit card credit's currency and the home currency in QuickBooks at the time of this transaction. Represented as a decimal value (e.g., 1.2345 for 1 EUR = 1.2345 USD if USD is the home currency).

externalIdstring uuid

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.

IMPORTANT: This field must be formatted as a valid GUID; otherwise, QuickBooks will return an error.
