When i check this xml request using the qbxml validator i'm getting the following error message even though i have supplied all the required fields as outlined in the OSR tool;
Line: 53
LinePos: 20
Src Text: <itemRef>
Reason: Element content is invalid according to the DTD/Schema.
Expecting: ItemRef, Desc, Quantity, UnitOfMeasure, Rate, RatePercent, PriceLevelRef, ClassRef,
Amount, TaxAmount, OptionForPriceRuleCon....
I'm not sure about what's wrong with my xml file, when i run the quickbooks webconnector, the error message i get is;
Message: QuickBooks found an error when parsing the provided XML text stream.
I understand this is coming up because of the wrong format of my qbxml request which could be incorrect. Kindly assist
