Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`. example: true createChangeOrder: type: boolean description: >- When `true`, creates a "change order" that appears in this estimate's description field in QuickBooks's estimate form, specifying exactly what changed in this update request, the dollar amount of each change, and the net dollar change to this estimate. example: false purchaseOrderNumber: type: string maxLength: 25 description: >- The customer's Purchase Order (PO) number associated with this estimate.

Sales representatives can be employees, vendors, or other names in QuickBooks. example: 80000001-1234567890 shipmentOrigin: type: string description: >- The origin location from where the product associated with this estimate is shipped. This is the point at which ownership and liability for goods transfer from seller to buyer. Internally, QuickBooks uses the term "FOB" for this field, which stands for "freight on board". This field is informational and has no accounting implications. example: San Francisco, CA salesTaxItemId: type: string description: >- The sales-tax item used to calculate the actual tax amount for this estimate's transactions by applying a specific tax rate collected for a single tax agency. Unlike `salesTaxCode`, which only indicates general taxability, this field drives the actual tax calculation and reporting. example: 80000001-1234567890 memo: type: string description: >- A memo or note for this estimate that appears in reports, but not on the estimate. Use `customerMessage` to add a note to this estimate. example: Proposal for website redesign customerMessageId: type: string description: The message to display to the customer on the estimate. example: 80000001-1234567890 isQueuedForEmail: type: boolean description: >- Indicates whether this estimate is included in the queue of documents for QuickBooks to email to the customer. example: true salesTaxCodeId: type: string description: >- The sales-tax code for this estimate, determining whether it is taxable or non-taxable. This can be overridden at the 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: 80000001-1234567890 otherCustomField: type: string description: >- A built-in custom field for additional information specific to this estimate. Unlike the user-defined fields in the `customFields` array, this is a standard QuickBooks field that exists for all estimates for convenience. Developers often use this field for tracking information that doesn't fit into other standard QuickBooks fields. Unlike `otherCustomField1` and `otherCustomField2`, which are line item fields, this exists at the transaction level. Hidden by default in the QuickBooks UI. example: Special handling required exchangeRate: type: number description: >- The market exchange rate between this estimate's currency and the home currency in QuickBooks at the time of this transaction. Represented as a decimal value (e.g., 1.2345 for 1 EUR = 1.2345 USD if USD is the home currency). example: 1.2345 lines: type: array items: type: object properties: id: type: string description: >- The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of an existing estimate line you wish to retain or update. **IMPORTANT**: Set this field to `-1` for new estimate lines you wish to add. example: 456DEF-1234567890 itemId: type: string description: >- The item associated with this estimate line. This can refer to any good or service that the business buys or sells, including item types such as a service item, inventory item, or special calculation item like a discount item or sales-tax item. example: 80000001-1234567890 description: type: string description: A description of this estimate line. example: Graphic illustrations for website redesign quantity: type: number description: >- The quantity of the item associated with this estimate line. This field cannot be cleared. **NOTE**: Do not use this field if the associated item is a discount item. example: 5 unitOfMeasure: type: string description: >- The unit-of-measure used for the `quantity` in this estimate line. Must be a valid unit within the item's available units of measure. example: Each overrideUnitOfMeasureSetId: type: string description: >- Specifies an alternative unit-of-measure set when updating this estimate line's `unitOfMeasure` field (e.g., "pound" or "kilogram"). This allows you to select units from a different set than the item's default unit-of-measure set, which remains unchanged on the item itself. The override applies only to this specific line. For example, you can sell an item typically measured in volume units using weight units in a specific transaction by specifying a different unit-of-measure set with this field. example: 80000001-1234567890 rate: type: string description: >- The price per unit for this estimate line. If both `rate` and `amount` are specified, `rate` will be ignored. If both `quantity` and `amount` are specified but not `rate`, QuickBooks will use them to calculate `rate`. Represented as a decimal string. This field cannot be cleared. example: '10.00' ratePercent: type: string description: >- The price of this estimate line expressed as a percentage. Typically used for discount or markup items. example: '10.5' classId: type: string description: >- The estimate line's class. Classes can be used to categorize objects into meaningful segments, such as department, location, or type of work. In QuickBooks, class tracking is off by default. If a class is specified for the entire parent transaction, it is automatically applied to all estimate lines unless overridden here, at the transaction line level. example: 80000001-1234567890 amount: type: string description: >- The monetary amount of this estimate line, represented as a decimal string. If both `quantity` and `rate` are specified but not `amount`, QuickBooks will calculate `amount` using the rate and any markup you supply. The calculation is `amount = (quantity * rate) * (1 + markupRate)` when `markupRate` is provided, or `amount = (quantity * rate) * (1 + markupRatePercent/100)` when `markupRatePercent` is provided. If `amount`, `rate`, and `quantity` are all unspecified, QuickBooks will calculate `amount` based on a `quantity` of `1` and the suggested `rate`. This field cannot be cleared. example: '1000.00' priceRuleConflictStrategy: type: string enum: - base_price - zero description: >- Specifies how to resolve price rule conflicts when adding or modifying this estimate line. example: base_price inventorySiteId: type: string description: >- The site location where inventory for the item associated with this estimate line is stored. example: 80000001-1234567890 inventorySiteLocationId: type: string description: >- The specific location (e.g., bin or shelf) within the inventory site where the item associated with this estimate line is stored. example: 80000001-1234567890 salesTaxCodeId: type: string description: >- The sales-tax code for this estimate line, determining whether it is taxable or non-taxable. If set, this overrides any sales-tax codes defined on the parent transaction or the associated item. 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: 80000001-1234567890 markupRate: type: string description: >- The markup that will be passed on to the customer for this item on this estimate line. `amount = (quantity * rate) * (1 + markupRate)` example: '0.2' markupRatePercent: type: string description: >- The markup, expressed as a percentage, that will be passed on to the customer for this item on this estimate line. `amount = (quantity * rate) * (1 + markupRatePercent/100)` example: '20.0' priceLevelId: type: string description: >- The price level applied to this estimate line. This overrides any price level set on the corresponding customer. The resulting estimate line will not show this price level, only the final `rate` calculated from it. example: 80000001-1234567890 otherCustomField1: type: string description: >- A built-in custom field for additional information specific to this estimate line. Unlike the user-defined fields in the `customFields` array, this is a standard QuickBooks field that exists for all estimate lines for convenience. Developers often use this field for tracking information that doesn't fit into other standard QuickBooks fields. Hidden by default in the QuickBooks UI. example: Special handling required otherCustomField2: type: string description: >- A second built-in custom field for additional information specific to this estimate line. Unlike the user-defined fields in the `customFields` array, this is a standard QuickBooks field that exists for all estimate lines for convenience. Like `otherCustomField1`, developers often use this field for tracking information that doesn't fit into other standard QuickBooks fields. Hidden by default in the QuickBooks UI. example: Always ship with a spare required: - id additionalProperties: false minItems: 1 description: >- The estimate's line items, each representing a single product or service quoted. **IMPORTANT**: 1. Including this array in your update request will **REPLACE** all existing line items for the estimate with this array. To keep any existing line items, you must include them in this array even if they have not changed. **Any line items not included will be removed.** 2. To add a new line item, include it here with the `id` field set to `-1`. 3. If you do not wish to modify any line items, omit this field entirely to keep them unchanged. lineGroups: type: array items: type: object properties: id: type: string description: >- The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of an existing estimate line group you wish to retain or update. **IMPORTANT**: Set this field to `-1` for new estimate line groups you wish to add. example: 456DEF-1234567890 itemGroupId: type: string description: >- The estimate line group's item group, representing a predefined set of items bundled because they are commonly purchased together or grouped for faster entry. example: 80000001-1234567890 quantity: type: number description: >- The quantity of the item group associated with this estimate line group. This field cannot be cleared. **NOTE**: Do not use this field if the associated item group is a discount item group. example: 5 unitOfMeasure: type: string description: >- The unit-of-measure used for the `quantity` in this estimate line group. Must be a valid unit within the item's available units of measure. example: Each overrideUnitOfMeasureSetId: type: string description: >- Specifies an alternative unit-of-measure set when updating this estimate line group's `unitOfMeasure` field (e.g., "pound" or "kilogram").
