[QODBC-Desktop] How to create Journal Entries using QODBC
Posted by brad waddell on 12 March 2009 05:21 PM

Two Examples of Creating Journal Entries

Create a Journal Entry with 2 Credit Lines and 2 Debit Lines

Note: This example creates one Journal Entry with two credit lines and two debit lines. Note the FQSaveToCache field, set to True except on the last line. Also, when saving Journal Entries, QuickBooks will reject transaction which does not balance the Credit and Debit sides.

First Credit Line

INSERT INTO "JournalEntryCreditLine" ("RefNumber", "JournalCreditLineAccountRefListID", "JournalCreditLineAmount", "JournalCreditLineMemo", "FQSaveToCache") VALUES ('1', '120000-933270542', 1.11, 'Test Memo 1', 1)

Second Credit Line

INSERT INTO "JournalEntryCreditLine" ("RefNumber", "JournalCreditLineAccountRefListID", "JournalCreditLineAmount", "JournalCreditLineMemo", "FQSaveToCache") VALUES ('1', '120000-933270543', 2.22, 'Test Memo 2', 1)

First Debit Line

INSERT INTO "JournalEntryDebitLine" ("RefNumber", "JournalDebitLineAccountRefListID", "JournalDebitLineAmount", "JournalDebitLineMemo", "FQSaveToCache") VALUES ('1', '120000-933270544', 1.11, 'Test Memo 1', 1)

Second Debit Line

INSERT INTO "JournalEntryDebitLine" ("RefNumber", "JournalDebitLineAccountRefListID", "JournalDebitLineAmount", "JournalDebitLineMemo", "FQSaveToCache") VALUES ('1', '120000-933270545', 2.22, 'Test Memo 2', 0)

Create a Journal Entry with 1 Credit Line and 1 Debit Line

Note: The QuickBooks sample files set the QuickBooks system date at Nov 15, 2021, here, so I have used these sample SQL insert statements to demonstrate using future dates in a journal entry:

Create a Credit Line

     INSERT INTO "JournalEntryCreditLine" ("TxnDate", "RefNumber",
     "JournalCreditLineAccountRefListID", "JournalCreditLineAmount",
     "JournalCreditLineMemo", "FQSaveToCache") VALUES
     ({d '2021-12-15'}, '1', '650002-1046372567', 1.11,
     'Test Future Dated Credit', 1)


Note: 
 QODBC Support Wizard is used only to test QODBC SQL queries and is not a development tool.

 

Create a Debit Line

     INSERT INTO "JournalEntryDebitLine" ("TxnDate", "RefNumber",
     "JournalDebitLineAccountRefListID", "JournalDebitLineAmount",
     "JournalDebitLineMemo", "FQSaveToCache") VALUES
     ({d '2021-12-15'}, '1', '650002-1046372567', 1.11,
     'Test Future Dated Credit', 0)

TxnLineIDs Locate

     SELECT JournalCreditLineTxnLineID, JournalDebitLineTxnLineID
     FROM JournalEntryCreditLine, JournalEntryDebitLine
     WHERE JournalEntryCreditLine.RefNumber=JournalEntryDebitLine.RefNumber
     and ((((JournalEntryDebitLine.TxnDate)>={d'2021-12-15'}))
     or (((JournalEntryCreditLine.TxnDate)>={d'2021-12-15'})))

When I insert a journal entry like this, it works great but then it looks like Quickbooks is editing (or duplicating?) the accounts that I'm using on the Account table.

For example, if I insert to the "Professional Fees" account using a list ID of "XYZ", the insert works correctly but then a query against the Accounts table will show two "Professional Fees" accounts -- the original one and new one with all the same values (including ListId = "XYZ") but a different TimeModified.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening or what I could do?
