Add bill to QuickBooks with QBFC

Question

I am using QBFC to add invoices and bills to QB from my C# app. I have it successfully creating invoices, but I am having trouble creating bills.

I have updated this question to remove most of the code. I have been removing pieces of the message to determine the issue and it turns out I am getting the error from the VendorAddress attribute. The attribute comes up in intellisense, but generates the error when sent to QuickBooks. Is there no way to override the vendor address?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?qbxml version="6.0"?>
<QBXML>
    <QBXMLMsgsRq onError = "continueOnError">
        <BillAddRq requestID = "0">
            <BillAdd>
                <VendorRef>
                    <FullName>SENECA</FullName>
                </VendorRef>

Answer 1

The QuickBooks desktop API is versioned, and the versioning is controlled by this line in your example:

<?qbxml version="6.0"?>

You're using version 6.0 of qbXML, and if you refer to the QuickBooks OSR:

• https://static.developer.intuit.com/qbSDK-current/common/newosr/index.html

You'll see that the VendorAddress component isn't supported until 13.0:

You need to either not include this tag, or change the qbXML version you're using (or potentially do both, if you want to cater to QuickBooks versions that support this qbXML version AND QuickBooks versions that do not support this qbXML version).

Answer 2

try changing the version number and try again. Let's see if your Quickbook APP desktop version is compatible to it or not.

Example :

<?qbxml version="13.0"?>

Answer 3

If you're using QBFC, then you can specify the version when creating the message set request

 IMsgSetRequest rqMsgSet = qbSsnMgr.CreateMsgSetRequest("US", 13, 0);
