ItemSalesTaxGroup vs ItemSalesTax

[Christi Palme]

I'm working on getting QuickBooks' Item Sales Tax groups to pull into filemaker along with it's child records of which itemSalesTaxes belong to the group but I'm so far not having any luck getting my script to work.  In addition, I'm wondering if anyone knows the quickbooks rules regarding assigning the sales tax rate to and invoice - the attribute is named as if it's looking for an itemsalestax name or list id rather than a group name or list id and so far, my attempts to just send it a group name in the place of an item tax name has not worked.  Has anyone done this who could send a sample script?

best regards,

Christi

ItemSalesTaxRef is the right attribute to identify either the ItemSalesTax or the ItemSalesTaxGroup you want to apply to all taxable LineItems on the Invoice. The documentation says that you cannot use a SalesTaxGroup as the ItemRef of a LineItem, although I'm not sure if that's still accurate. Perhaps sharing the code you're using would clarify where you're going wrong....

Hope this helps!

Thanks Geoffrey.  I finally did get the push invoice script to work with sending the tax group name with the invoice.  Now I just have go get the tax groups and their items to pull.  I got it to do the first, but it's not iterating my loop yet.  I'll post as a different question if I don't get that one working soon.
