How can I add an invoice or sales receipt using the QuickBooks API Rest v3? Preferably in .NET. I was interested previously in v2 but apparently that is going to be replaced soon. I can't seem to find any sample code in .NET to add a sales receipt or invoice for version 3. A simple example with minimum data supplied would be appreciated.

You can try the following code snippet.
public void AddInvoice()
{
OAuthRequestValidator reqValidator = new OAuthRequestValidator(accessToken, accessTokenSecret, consumerKey, consumerKeySecret);
ServiceContext context = new ServiceContext(realmId, IntuitServicesType.QBO, reqValidator);
Invoice added = Helper.Add<Invoice>(qboContextoAuth, CreateInvoice(qboContextoAuth));
}
internal Invoice CreateInvoice(ServiceContext context)
{
Customer customer = FindorAdd<Customer>(context, new Customer());
TaxCode taxCode = FindorAdd<TaxCode>(context, new TaxCode());
Account account = FindOrADDAccount(context, AccountTypeEnum.AccountsReceivable, AccountClassificationEnum.Liability);
Invoice invoice = new Invoice();
invoice.Deposit = new Decimal(0.00);
invoice.DepositSpecified = true;
invoice.AllowIPNPayment = false;
invoice.AllowIPNPaymentSpecified = true;
invoice.CustomerRef = new ReferenceType()
{
name = customer.DisplayName,
Value = customer.Id
};
invoice.DueDate = DateTime.UtcNow.Date;
invoice.DueDateSpecified = true;
invoice.GlobalTaxCalculation = GlobalTaxCalculationEnum.TaxExcluded;
invoice.GlobalTaxCalculationSpecified = true;
invoice.TotalAmt = new Decimal(0.00);
invoice.TotalAmtSpecified = true;
invoice.ApplyTaxAfterDiscount = false;
invoice.ApplyTaxAfterDiscountSpecified = true;
invoice.PrintStatus = PrintStatusEnum.NotSet;
invoice.PrintStatusSpecified = true;
invoice.EmailStatus = EmailStatusEnum.NotSet;
invoice.EmailStatusSpecified = true;
invoice.ARAccountRef = new ReferenceType()
{
type = Enum.GetName(typeof(objectNameEnumType), objectNameEnumType.Account),
name = "Account Receivable",
Value = "QB:37"
};
invoice.Balance = new Decimal(0.00);
invoice.BalanceSpecified = true;
List<Line> lineList = new List<Line>();
Line line = new Line();
line.Description = "Description";
line.Amount = new Decimal(100.00);
line.AmountSpecified = true;
line.DetailType = LineDetailTypeEnum.DescriptionOnly;
line.DetailTypeSpecified = true;
lineList.Add(line);
invoice.Line = lineList.ToArray();
TxnTaxDetail txnTaxDetail = new TxnTaxDetail();
txnTaxDetail.DefaultTaxCodeRef = new ReferenceType()
{
Value = taxCode.Id,
type = Enum.GetName(typeof(objectNameEnumType), objectNameEnumType.Customer),
name = taxCode.Name
};
txnTaxDetail.TotalTax = new Decimal(0.00);
txnTaxDetail.TotalTaxSpecified = true;
return invoice;
}

Hi, this works but I wanted to specify line item details. When I specify LineDetailTypeEnum.SalesItemLineDetail, I get error bad request. Can you please post a sample with SalesItemLineDetail. Maybe with Quantity and unit price. Thanks – MohsinG Sep 08 '13 at 23:28

@ManasMukherjee is the code above correct for the tax portion? It looks like you are creating a txnTaxDetail but then never attaching it to the Invoice in any manner? – crichavin Feb 27 '14 at 20:08

Yes.. while writing this POC(it was just for a sample Invoice creation :) ), I missed to associate txnTaxDetail with the invoice. I'll update my post. Thanks – Manas Mukherjee Feb 28 '14 at 05:52
