}The Item Group object
An item group represents a predefined set of items bundled together because they are commonly purchased together or grouped for faster entry in QuickBooks Desktop, while allowing you to see individual items on forms and reports.
The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this item group. This ID is unique across all item groups but not across different QuickBooks object types.
"80000001-1234567890"
The type of object. This value is always "qbd_item_group".
"qbd_item_group""qbd_item_group"
The date and time when this item group was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
"2025-01-01T12:34:56.000Z"
The date and time when this item group was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
"2025-02-01T12:34:56.000Z"
The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this item group object, which changes each time the object is modified. 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.
"1721172183"
The case-insensitive unique name of this item group, unique across all item groups.
NOTE: Item groups do not have a fullName field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why name is unique for them but not for objects that have parents.
"Office Supplies Bundle"
The item group's barcode.
"012345678905"
Indicates whether this item group is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to true.
true
The item group's description that will appear on sales forms that include this item.
"Complete office starter kit with essential supplies for new employees."
The unit-of-measure set associated with this item group, which consists of a base unit and related units.
IMPORTANT: Right after QuickBooks Desktop launches, it can briefly report an alternate id for a unit-of-measure set, so match on fullName when joining to the unit-of-measure sets list.
