This parameter will limit the response size, but you cannot fetch subsequent results using a cursor. For pagination, use the name-range parameters instead (e.g., `nameFrom=A&nameTo=B`). When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all accounts without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because accounts typically have low record counts. schema: type: integer minimum: 1 description: >- The maximum number of objects to return. **IMPORTANT**: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for accounts.

When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error. example: '1721172183' name: type: string description: >- The case-insensitive name of this account. Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its hierarchical parent objects like `fullName` does. For example, two accounts could both have the `name` "Accounts-Payable", but they could have unique `fullName` values, such as "Corporate:Accounts-Payable" and "Finance:Accounts-Payable". example: Accounts-Payable fullName: type: string description: >- The case-insensitive fully-qualified unique name of this account, formed by combining the names of its hierarchical parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. For example, if an account is under "Corporate" and has the `name` "Accounts-Payable", its `fullName` would be "Corporate:Accounts-Payable". **NOTE**: Unlike `name`, `fullName` is guaranteed to be unique across all account objects. However, `fullName` can still be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user when they modify the underlying `name` field. example: Corporate:Accounts-Payable isActive: type: boolean description: >- Indicates whether this account is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`. example: true parent: type: - object - 'null' properties: id: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. example: 80000001-1234567890 fullName: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive. example: Parent:Child:Grandchild required: - id - fullName additionalProperties: false description: >- The parent account one level above this one in the hierarchy. For example, if this account has a `fullName` of "Corporate:Accounts-Payable", its parent has a `fullName` of "Corporate". If this account is at the top level, this field will be `null`. example: id: 80000001-1234567890 fullName: Corporate sublevel: type: number description: >- The depth level of this account in the hierarchy. A top-level account has a `sublevel` of 0; each subsequent sublevel increases this number by 1. For example, an account with a `fullName` of "Corporate:Accounts-Payable" would have a `sublevel` of 1. example: 1 accountType: type: string enum: - accounts_payable - accounts_receivable - bank - cost_of_goods_sold - credit_card - equity - expense - fixed_asset - income - long_term_liability - non_posting - other_asset - other_current_asset - other_current_liability - other_expense - other_income description: >- The classification of this account, indicating its purpose within the chart of accounts. **NOTE**: You cannot create an account of type `non_posting` through the API because QuickBooks creates these accounts behind the scenes. example: bank specialAccountType: type: - string - 'null' enum: - accounts_payable - accounts_receivable - condense_item_adjustment_expenses - cost_of_goods_sold - direct_deposit_liabilities - estimates - exchange_gain_loss - inventory_assets - item_receipt_account - opening_balance_equity - payroll_expenses - payroll_liabilities - petty_cash - purchase_orders - reconciliation_differences - retained_earnings - sales_orders - sales_tax_payable - uncategorized_expenses - uncategorized_income - undeposited_funds - null description: >- Indicates if this account is a special account automatically created by QuickBooks for specific purposes. example: undeposited_funds isTaxAccount: type: - boolean - 'null' description: Indicates whether this account is used for tracking taxes. example: true accountNumber: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The account's account number, which appears in the QuickBooks chart of accounts, reports, and graphs. Note that if the "Use Account Numbers" preference is turned off in QuickBooks, the account number may not be visible in the user interface, but it can still be set and retrieved through the API. example: '1010' bankAccountNumber: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The bank account number or identifying note for this account. Access to this field may be restricted based on permissions. example: '123456789' description: type: - string - 'null' description: A description of this account. example: >- Accounts-payable are the amounts owed to suppliers for goods and services purchased on credit. balance: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The current balance of this account only, excluding balances from any subordinate accounts, represented as a decimal string. Compare with `totalBalance`. Note that income accounts and balance sheet accounts may not have balances. example: '1000.00' totalBalance: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The combined balance of this account and all its sub-accounts, represented as a decimal string. For example, the `totalBalance` for XYZ Bank would be the total of the balances of all its sub-accounts (checking, savings, and so on). If XYZ Bank did not have any sub-accounts, `totalBalance` and `balance` would be the same. example: '5000.00' salesTaxCode: type: - object - 'null' properties: id: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types. example: 80000001-1234567890 fullName: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons.

This can be overridden at the transaction or transaction-line level. Default codes include "Non" (non-taxable) and "Tax" (taxable), but custom codes can also be created in QuickBooks. If QuickBooks is not set up to charge sales tax (via the "Do You Charge Sales Tax?" preference), it will assign the default non-taxable code to all sales. example: id: 80000001-1234567890 fullName: Non taxLineDetails: oneOf: - $ref: '#/components/schemas/qbd_tax_line_info' - type: 'null' description: The account's tax line details, used for tax reporting purposes. cashFlowClassification: type: - string - 'null' enum: - financing - investing - none - not_applicable - operating - null description: >- Indicates how this account is classified for cash flow reporting. If `none`, the account has not been classified. If `not_applicable`, the account does not qualify to be classified (e.g., a bank account tracking cash transactions is not part of a cash flow report). example: operating currency: type: - object - 'null' properties: id: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object.

It can be customized with features like hierarchical sub-accounts, account numbers, and opening balances. Accounts form the foundation of the chart of accounts and can represent various types like bank accounts, credit cards, income, expense, and other financial categories. qbd_tax_line_info: type: object properties: taxLineId: type: number description: >- The identifier of the tax line associated with this account. You can see a list of all available values for this field by calling the endpoint for account tax lines. example: 123 taxLineName: type: - string - 'null' description: >- The name of the tax line associated with this account, as it appears on the tax form. example: State Sales Tax required: - taxLineId - taxLineName additionalProperties: false title: The Tax Line Info object x-conductor-object-type: nested qbd_custom_field: type: object properties: ownerId: type: string description: >- The identifier of the owner of the custom field, which QuickBooks internally calls a "data extension". For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0". For private custom fields that are only visible to the application that created them, this is a valid GUID identifying the owning application.
