QBXML InvoiceAdd Error 3250 Feature Not Enabled Or Available

Question

I have been able to create basic invoices via the API with single line items. These have not shipping etc.

Now, when trying to add complete Invoice with the Shipping Line Item (Type = Other Charge). I am getting error 3250 - This feature is not enabled or not available in this version of QuickBooks.

QB Version: Enterprise 2018 Manufacturing Edition w/ Advanced Inventory

I have tried searching the docs for some setting in QB I may need to change but have come up empty. Hoping someone can help with this.

Answer 1

This error is usually related to something you don't have turned on in QuickBooks.

If you were to create this same invoice in QuickBooks directly, would you be able to choose all of those options?

Have you tried creating an invoice with an absolute minimum of information? e.g. without the sales tax, without the inventory sites, without the template, without the sales terms, etc.?

I'd bet that you either:

• Don't have sales tax enabled

or

• Don't have inventory site location tracking enabled
