Importing Invoices To QuickBooks Online
This task will insert new and update existing invoices in Quickbooks Online, from a Quickbooks Online Invoice XML file. The logic surrounding inserting/updating invoices works as follows:
- If an Id is provided for the invoice, and an invoice already exists in Quickbooks with this Id, the existing invoice will be updated.
- If an ExternalId is provided for the invoice, and a match is found in Zynk's truth table, the existing invoice will be updated.
- If a DocNumber is provided for the invoice, and an invoice already exists in Quickbooks with this DocNumber, the existing invoice will be updated.
- If none of the above conditions are fulfilled, a new invoice will be created.
