SalesOrder Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

A SalesOrder is used in place of an INVOICE when not all goods have been shipped.

Syntax

class inqb.SalesOrder

Remarks

This functionality requires a U.S. version of QuickBooks 2003, with the most recent updates from Intuit. The default value for qbxml_version for this component is "2.1". If your version of QuickBooks does not support QBXML version 2.1, the class will fail with an error.

Moreover, adding new Sales Orders is a feature of QuickBooks Premier and above; it is not supported in QuickBooks Pro.

A SalesOrder tracks inventory that is on back order for a customer. The operation of the class is similar to that of the Invoice Class.

Required Fields (Add): Customer*, Items

Supported Methods: Add, Get (Id), Delete

Example

SalesOrder1.CustomerName = "John Q. Customer"             '*
SalesOrder1.TransactionDate = "1/17/03"
SalesOrder1.ItemCount = 1
SalesOrder1.ItemName(0) = "Our Company's Product"         '*
SalesOrder1.ItemAmount(0) = "140.00" 
SalesOrder1.Add()

'*: Item must already exist in QuickBooks.

amount is the total of the item lines and (if present) expense lines. It is computed automatically, and should never be set.

Item Lines: Item lines are used to track the ordering of goods or services. To add item lines to the transaction, first set the ItemCount. This will initialize the Items array. For each item you add, set the Item Id (or Name) to an item that has been defined in QuickBooks. The Item Rate/RatePercent, Quantity, Description, Class, TaxCode, and Amount properties may be optionally set for each item as well.

The class supports a variety of other operations as well. The class's get and delete methods may be used to retrieve and delete SalesOrders, respectively. The ObjSearch Class may be used to search for SalesOrders in the QuickBooks database.
