required

"80000001-1234567890"

​
objectType
string
required

The type of object. This value is always "qbd_other_charge_item".

Allowed value: "qbd_other_charge_item"
Example:

"qbd_other_charge_item"

​
createdAt
string
required

The date and time when this other charge item 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.

Example:

"2025-01-01T12:34:56+00:00"

​
updatedAt
string
required

The date and time when this other charge item 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.

​
revisionNumber
string
required

The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this other charge item 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.

Example:

"1721172183"

​
name
string
required

The case-insensitive name of this other charge item. Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its hierarchical parent objects like fullName does. For example, two other charge items could both have the name "Overnight Delivery", but they could have unique fullName values, such as "Shipping Charges:Overnight Delivery" and "Misc Fees:Overnight Delivery".

Example:

"Overnight Delivery"

​
fullName
string
required

The case-insensitive fully-qualified unique name of this other charge item, formed by combining the names of its hierarchical parent objects with its own name, separated by colons. For example, if an other charge item is under "Shipping Charges" and has the name "Overnight Delivery", its fullName would be "Shipping Charges:Overnight Delivery".

NOTE: Unlike name, fullName is guaranteed to be unique across all other charge item objects. However, fullName can still be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user when they modify the underlying name field.

Example:

"Shipping Charges:Overnight Delivery"

​
barcode
string | null
required

The other charge item's barcode.

Example:

"012345678905"

​
isActive
boolean
required

Indicates whether this other charge item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to true.

Example:

true

​
class
object | null
required

The other charge item'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.

Example:
{
  "id": "80000001-1234567890",
  "fullName": "Shipping"
}
​
parent
object | null
required

The parent other charge item one level above this one in the hierarchy. For example, if this other charge item has a fullName of "Shipping Charges:Overnight Delivery", its parent has a fullName of "Shipping Charges". If this other charge item is at the top level, this field will be null.

Example:
{
  "id": "80000001-1234567890",
  "fullName": "Shipping Charges"
}
​
sublevel
number
required

The depth level of this other charge item in the hierarchy. A top-level other charge item has a sublevel of 0; each subsequent sublevel increases this number by 1. For example, an other charge item with a fullName of "Shipping Charges:Overnight Delivery" would have a sublevel of 1.

Example:

1

​
salesTaxCode
object | null
required

The default sales-tax code for this other charge item, 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:
{
  "id": "80000001-1234567890",
  "fullName": "Non"
}
​
salesOrPurchaseDetails
object | null
required

Details for other charge items that are exclusively sold or exclusively purchased, but not both. This typically applies to non-inventory items (like a purchased office supply that isn't resold) or service items (like consulting services that are sold but not purchased).

IMPORTANT: An other charge item will have either salesAndPurchaseDetails or salesOrPurchaseDetails, but never both because an item cannot have both configurations.

​
salesAndPurchaseDetails
object | null
required

Details for other charge items that are both purchased and sold, such as reimbursable expenses or inventory items that are bought from vendors and sold to customers.

IMPORTANT: An other charge item will have either salesAndPurchaseDetails or salesOrPurchaseDetails, but never both because an item cannot have both configurations.

​
specialItemType
enum<string> | null
required

The type of special item for this other charge item.

Available options:
finance_charge,
reimbursable_expense_group,
reimbursable_expense_subtotal
Example:

"finance_charge"

​
externalId
string | null
required

A globally unique identifier (GUID) you, the developer, can provide for tracking this object in your external system. This field is immutable and can only be set during object creation.

Example:

"12345678-abcd-1234-abcd-1234567890ab"

​
customFields
The Custom Field object · object[]
required

The custom fields for the other charge item object, added as user-defined data extensions, not included in the standard QuickBooks object.
