An Example of Creating a Sales Order

Note: This example creates one Sales Order with two order lines. Note how the FQSaveToCache field is set to True except on the last line.

First Line

INSERT INTO "SalesOrderLine" ("CustomerRefListID", "TemplateRefListID","RefNumber", "SalesOrderLineItemRefListID", "SalesOrderLineDesc",             "SalesOrderLineQuantity", "SalesOrderLineRate", "SalesOrderLineAmount", "SalesOrderLineSalesTaxCodeRefListID","FQSaveToCache") VALUES     ('120000-1045537156','C0000-1080110273','1015', '90000-1045537150', '4m Steel Ladder', 1.00000, 1.00000, 150.00, '90000-1045536338', 1)

Second (Last) Line

INSERT INTO "SalesOrderLine" ("CustomerRefListID", "TemplateRefListID","RefNumber", "SalesOrderLineItemRefListID", "SalesOrderLineDesc", "SalesOrderLineQuantity", "SalesOrderLineRate", "SalesOrderLineAmount", "SalesOrderLineSalesTaxCodeRefListID","FQSaveToCache") VALUES ('120000-1045537156','C0000-1080110273','1015', '150001-1045625669', 'Paint Brush:Big', 1.00000, 1.00000, 11.60, '90000-1045536338', 0)

So prior to this don't you have to write to the table 'SalesOrder' also?

Hi Shonda,

I would like to inform you that SalesOrderLine table is a child table SalesOrder table. When you add/update records in SalesOrderLine table it will automatically add/update to SalesOrder table. So you need to add/update InvoiceLine table.

When I ran the above 2 query lines, the first line is not imported, but the second line is. If I run both query with FQSaveToCache = 0. I can see that there are 2 lines in shown in Reckon Accounts.

Did I ran those two lines incorrectly?

Hi Andrew,

Multi-line query require a series of SQL statements to complete a single Transaction.
The key to this process is the field named "FQSaveToCache". This field is not part of the table, but is used as a flag to the QODBC driver.

A TRUE setting of "FQSaveToCache" instructs QODBC to take the values from your INSERT statement and hold them for later processing, but not to save them to QuickBooks yet. When QODBC receives the final transaction where the cache is set to 0 or FALSE, the contents of the current INSERT statement will be combined with all of the previous INSERT statements held in the cache for this connection, and saved as a batch into QuickBooks.

The “FQSaveToCache” should be 1 or 0. For multiple lines insert you sould set FQSaveToCache to 1 instead (using: 1 as "FQSaveToCache") and loop the query until the last one setting FQSaveToCache to 0. For single line insert, if you want to use “FQSaveToCache”, you should set it to 0.

Thanks Jack. I ran each query using the VB demo application, that's why I didn't get desired result.
