Creating bulk invoices using the Developer API results in incorrect amounts and rates being displayed in the invoice

 

Here's the revised version with your additional question included:


I created an invoice with three line items using the API. For each item, I set the following values:

  • Amount: 45.84
  • TaxInclusiveAmount: 55.00
  • Unit Price: 45.84

After creating the invoice via the API, I opened it to verify the details. However, I noticed that the amounts for each item are different from the values I originally provided in the API request. Specifically, the amounts displayed are 54.96, 55.02, and 55.02 instead of the expected values.

Does this issue require me to include any additional keys in the API request? Alternatively, could you provide details on the system-calculated VAT? Please note that I used the 20% tax standard in QuickBooks.
