Body

application/json
name
string
required

The case-insensitive name of this non-inventory item. Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its parent objects like fullName does. For example, two non-inventory items could both have the name "Printer Ink Cartridge", but they could have unique fullName values, such as "Office-Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge" and "Miscellaneous:Printer Ink Cartridge". Maximum length: 31 characters.

barcode
object

The non-inventory item's barcode.

isActive
boolean
default: true

Indicates whether this non-inventory item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks.

parentId
string

The parent non-inventory item one level above this one in the hierarchy. For example, if this non-inventory item has a fullName of "Office-Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge", its parent has a fullName of "Office-Supplies". If this non-inventory item is at the top level, this field will be null.

classId
string

The non-inventory 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.

sku
string

The non-inventory item's stock keeping unit (SKU), which is sometimes the manufacturer's part number.

unitOfMeasureSetId
string

The unit-of-measure set associated with this non-inventory item, which consists of a base unit and related units.

salesTaxCodeId
string

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

salesOrPurchaseDetails
object

Details for non-inventory 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: A non-inventory item must specify either salesOrPurchaseDetails or salesAndPurchaseDetails, but never both because an item cannot have both configurations.

salesAndPurchaseDetails
object

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

IMPORTANT: A non-inventory item must specify either salesAndPurchaseDetails or salesOrPurchaseDetails, but never both because an item cannot have both configurations.

externalId
string

A globally unique identifier (GUID) you can provide for tracking this object in your external system.

IMPORTANT: Must be formatted as a valid GUID; otherwise, QuickBooks will return an error. This field is immutable and can only be set during object creation.

name

For example, two non-inventory items could both have the name "Printer Ink Cartridge", but they could have unique fullName values, such as "Office-Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge" and "Miscellaneous:Printer Ink Cartridge". Maximum length: 31 characters.

fullName
string
required

The case-insensitive fully-qualified unique name of this non-inventory item, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own name, separated by colons. For example, if a non-inventory item is under "Office-Supplies" and has the name "Printer Ink Cartridge", its fullName would be "Office-Supplies:Printer Ink Cartridge".
