Create a date-driven term

Creates a date-driven term that sets the payment due on a specific day of the month and can optionally grant an early-payment discount before discountDayOfMonth. Use it when you need due dates tied to calendar days instead of a fixed number of days after the transaction.

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

namestring required

The case-insensitive unique name of this date-driven term, unique across all date-driven terms.

NOTE: Date-driven terms do not have a fullName field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why name is unique for them but not for objects that have parents.

Maximum length: 31 characters.

isActiveboolean

Indicates whether this date-driven term is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to true.

dueDayOfMonthnumber required

The day of the month when full payment is due without discount.

gracePeriodDaysnumber

The number of days before dueDayOfMonth when an invoice or bill issued within this threshold is considered due the following month. For example, with dueDayOfMonth set to 15 and gracePeriodDays set to 2, an invoice issued on the 13th would be due on the 15th of the next month, while an invoice issued on the 12th would be due on the 15th of the current month.

discountDayOfMonthnumber

The day of the month within which payment must be received to qualify for the discount specified by discountPercentage.

discountPercentagestring

The discount percentage applied to the payment if received on or before the specified discountDayOfMonth. The value is between 0 and 100.

Example request

{
  "name": "2% 5th Net 25th",
  "isActive": true,
  "dueDayOfMonth": 15,
  "gracePeriodDays": 2,
  "discountDayOfMonth": 5,
  "discountPercentage": "10"

The date and time when this date-driven term 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.

updatedAtstring required

The date and time when this date-driven term 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.

The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this date-driven term 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.
