applyToTransactions

Transactions to be paid by this check. This will create a link between this check and the specified transactions.

IMPORTANT: By default, QuickBooks will not return any information about the linked transactions in this endpoint's response even when this request is successful.

To retain any current expense lines, include them in this array, even if they have not changed. Any expense lines not included will be removed. To add a new expense line, include it with its id set to -1. If you do not wish to modify the expense lines, you can omit this field entirely to keep them unchanged.

object[]

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