Problem to link the Lines between Estimate and Invoice for Group Item(By SDK)

Hi Experts:

 

 We got a problem to establish linking on lines between Estimate and Invoice for Group Item.

 

We kept recieving this error:

Business Validation Error: When linking an Estimate (id:304) to an Invoice you must also link it to at least 1 sales line.

Actually we provided the linking information.

I'll attach our request and reponse to create an Invoice which contain the linking information on the lines.

 

Could you please help us to figure out what's wrong in our request or give us a sample?

 

Our Company ID: [removed]399

 

Thanks

Billy

Let's get rid of the error and make sure you can link your the estimate to the invoice, Billy.

 

The different reasons why we encounter the Business Validation Error when creating the invoice. It could be:

  • a component in your computer was corrupted
  • special characters are not allow in certain fields
  • cache-related issue
  • you're using an unsupported browser and etc.

Here are the things that we can do to fix this:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. Update the supported browser's version if necessary.
  3. Clear the cache storage.
  4. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account and open the estimate.
  5. Review the estimate details.
  6. Link the estimate to the invoice again.

Let me know if you need more assistance in getting rid of the error.

"By SDK" means you are not in the right internet forum.

Problem to link the Lines between Estimate and Invoice for Group Item(By SDK)

Hi James:

 

Thank you very much for your reply!

 

I have done your steps but still got the error.

By the way, we can link the 'normal items'(not group items)  by SDK and we can establish the linking on UI.

But we can't create linkings for group item by SDK. I was using API Explorer to do the testing:

Could you provide more advices?

 

Thanks
