Syntax

TiqbBillPayment

Remarks

The BillPayment component provides the functionality found in the Pay Bills form in the QuickBooks UI. You can reach this form by selecting Retail->Pay Bills from the main QuickBooks menubar. If you want to pay multiple bills, you must issue a separate request for each bill pay.

If you are using more than one Accounts payable account, make sure that the APAccountId and/or APAccountName matches the account that was used when the Bill was originally added. That is, the bill was entered in a particular account payable: use that same account payable when you pay the bill using this request.

You may use a credit card or check to make the billpayment by setting the PaymentMethod property. If using a credit card, the CreditCardName or CreditCardId properties are required. If paying by check, the BankAccountName or BankAccountId properties are required, and you may optionally use the RefNumber property to indicate the check number.

Required Fields (Add):PayeeName, AppliedTo, PaymentMethod, RefNumber or IsToBePrinted, BankAccountName or BankAccountId (Checks), CreditCardName or CreditCardId (Credit Cards)

Supported Methods:Add, Get (Id), Cancel, Delete

Example:

BillPayment1.PayeeName = "Daigle Lighting"
BillPayment1.BankAccountName = "Checking"
BillPayment1.AppliedToCount = 1
BillPayment1.AppliedToRefId(0) = "5CAE-1197739628"
BillPayment1.AppliedToPaymentAmount(0) = "10.00"
BillPayment1.PaymentMethod = BillpaymentPaymentMethods.pmCheck
BillPayment1.IsToBePrinted = true    
BillPayment1.Add()

The component supports a variety of other operations as well. The component's Get, Cancel, and Delete methods may be used to retrieve, cancel, and delete BILLPAYMENTSs, respectively. The ObjSearch Component may be used to search for BILLPAYMENTSs in the QuickBooks database.
