Creating an Invoice with LineItemRef does not automatically fill the line item description

When we try to create an invoice with a Line Item Ref without providing the line item description, QBO doesn't prefill the product description as line item description. I have checked the same via APIExplorer and confirmed the behaviour.

Here's a sample Create Request XML:

<Invoice xmlns="http://schema.intuit.com/finance/v3">
  <Line>
    <Amount>15</Amount>
    <DetailType>SalesItemLineDetail</DetailType>
    <SalesItemLineDetail>
      <ItemRef>36</ItemRef>
    </SalesItemLineDetail>
  </Line>
  <CustomerRef>378</CustomerRef>
</Invoice>

Is there anyway we can ask the QBO to prefill the description for line item if no description field is specified as part of the create request?

Thanks, Ravi

Solution

  • No, It is not possible. You need to explicitly set description value.
