Remarks

Line item property: Reference to the kind of item.

Line items represent goods or services bought in a QuickBooks transaction.

Each line item is represented by a number of properties, each prefixed by Item (see the list of properties for individual classs for details). Properties such as ItemQuantity and ItemDescription are always present; some properties are found in only certain types of transactions.

Item is a reference to a kind of item, predefined within QuickBooks. Generally items defined within QuickBooks have default values for ItemDescription, etc., and if only Item is set when adding a record to QuickBooks, the other properties will be set automatically.

This class is used to create a single item. However, any InQB class may be set with an unlimited number of these items. For example:

 Invoice.ItemCount = 3

 LineItems.ItemName = "Wingnut"
 LineItems.Quantity = 8
 Invoice.ItemAggregate[0] = LineItems.GetAggregate()

 LineItems.ItemName = "Shovel"
 LineItems.Quantity = 1
 Invoice.ItemAggregate[1] = LineItems.GetAggregate()

 LineItems.ItemName = "Mower blade"
 LineItems.Quantity = 1
 Invoice.ItemAggregate[2] = LineItems.GetAggregate()

Items may also be grouped into ItemGroups, using the LineItemGroups class.

The size of the array is controlled by the ItemCount property.

This property is not available at design time.
