Update a bill

The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of an existing expense line you wish to retain or update.

IMPORTANT: Set this field to -1 for new expense lines you wish to add.

The expense account being debited (increased) for this expense line. The corresponding account being credited is usually a liability account (e.g., Accounts-Payable) or an asset account (e.g., Cash), depending on the transaction type.

The monetary amount of this expense line, represented as a decimal string.

A memo or note for this expense line.

If account refers to an Accounts-Payable (A/P) account, payee refers to the expense's vendor (not the customer). If account refers to any other type of account, payee refers to the expense's customer (not the vendor).

The expense 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 expense lines unless overridden here, at the transaction line level.

The sales-tax code associated with this expense line, determining whether it is taxable or non-taxable. It's used to assign a default tax status to all transactions for this expense line. 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.

The billing status of this expense line.

The expense line's sales representative. Sales representatives can be employees, vendors, or other names in QuickBooks.

The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of an existing item line you wish to retain or update.

The item associated with this item 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.

The site location where inventory for the item associated with this item line is stored.

The specific location (e.g., bin or shelf) within the inventory site where the item associated with this item line is stored.

The serial number of the item associated with this item line. This is used for tracking individual units of serialized inventory items.

The lot number of the item associated with this item line. Used for tracking groups of inventory items that are purchased or manufactured together.

The expiration date for the serial number or lot number of the item associated with this item line, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). This is particularly relevant for perishable or time-sensitive inventory items. Note that this field is only supported on QuickBooks Desktop 2023 or later.

A description of this item line.

The quantity of the item associated with this item line. This field cannot be cleared.

The unit-of-measure used for the quantity in this item line. Must be a valid unit within the item's available units of measure.

Specifies an alternative unit-of-measure set when updating this item 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.

The cost of this item line, represented as a decimal string. If both quantity and amount are specified but not cost, QuickBooks will use them to calculate cost.

The monetary amount of this item line, represented as a decimal string. If both quantity and cost are specified but not amount, QuickBooks will use them to calculate amount. If amount, cost, and quantity are all unspecified, then QuickBooks will calculate amount based on a quantity of 1 and the suggested cost. This field cannot be cleared.

The item group line's item group, representing a predefined set of items bundled because they are commonly purchased together or grouped for faster entry.

The quantity of the item group associated with this item group line. This field cannot be cleared.

The unit-of-measure used for the quantity in this item group line. Must be a valid unit within the item's available units of measure.

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.

The item group line's item lines, each representing the purchase of a specific item or service.

IMPORTANT: When updating an item group line's item lines, this array completely REPLACES all existing item lines for that item group line. To retain any current item lines, include them in this array, even if they have not changed. Any item lines not included will be removed. To add a new item line, include it with its id set to -1. If you do not wish to modify the item lines, you can omit this field entirely to keep them unchanged.
