Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

An Employee is anyone who works for the QuickBooks company.

Syntax

Employee

Remarks

The Employee class represents a company employee.

Required Fields (Add): EmployeeName

Supported Methods: Add, Update (contact info only), Get (Id/Name), Delete

Example (Adding an employee to QuickBooks)

Employee1.EmployeeName = "John Smith"
Employee1.Add()
EmployeeName will automatically be parsed into a first name, last name, etc. by the class, so setting EmployeeName to "Smith, John" or to "John Smith" will have the same effect. Other contact information such as Address, Phone, and Email may be set or modified as well.

The SSN may be set when an employee is Added, but it may not be modified or even seen afterward, as it is considered sensitive information.

To retrieve an Employee, call the Get method with the employee's name as a parameter. This parameter will automatically be parsed in the same way as EmployeeName, so calling Get on "Smith, Mary A." will successfully retrieve "Mary A. Smith". The customer will be downloaded from QuickBooks, and all properties (except SSN) will be set.

The class may also be used to update contact information or to delete an employee by using the Update and Delete methods, respectively. To update contact information, first load the employee's information using Get or the ObjSearch class. Then change the value of one or more of the properties, and call Update to update the information. Note that not all properties can be updated using the class.

To search for Employees, the ObjSearch Class may be used.
