Update a vendor credit

The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of the vendor credit object you are updating, which you can get by fetching the object first. Provide the most recent revisionNumber to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.

The vendor who sent this vendor credit for goods or services purchased.

The Accounts-Payable (A/P) account to which this vendor credit is assigned, used for accounts-payable tracking. If omitted, QuickBooks Desktop uses the default A/P account configured in the company file.

A memo or note for this vendor credit.

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

The market exchange rate between this vendor 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).

When true, removes all existing expense lines associated with this vendor credit. To modify or add individual expense lines, use the field expenseLines instead.

When true, removes all existing item lines associated with this vendor credit. To modify or add individual item lines, use the field itemLines instead.

A memo or note for this vendor credit.

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.

The remaining unapplied credit on this vendor credit, represented as a decimal string. This equals the original credit amount minus any amounts that have been applied to bills.

NOTE: QuickBooks Desktop can omit this field in rare cases. If you ever encounter openAmount as null, we recommend the following fallback procedure: Re-query the vendor credits with includeLinkedTransactions=true and compute a fallback open amount as creditAmount minus the sum of linkedTransactions[].amount for all entries where linkedTransactions[].linkType is "amount".
