Id/Name Reference Properties

This property is used to reference an object that is already done within QuickBooks. This may be done with its Id (this property) or its full Name, for which a corresponding property is defined.

Using the Id is recommended when feasible, as the Id is guaranteed to never change once defined.

Setting the value of this property will set the corresponding Name property to an empty string.
