IPP QBD CustomTxnDetail not returning Inventory or COGS - intuit-partner-platform

Question

In Quickbooks desktop version, when I run a transaction detail report for transaction type of Invoice, I have 5 accounts displayed: Accounts Receivable, Inventory Asset, Sales Tax Payable, Sales and Cost of Goods Sold.
However, when I run this via .NET IPP DevKit v2, I only see 3 of these accounts: Accounts Receivable, Sales Tax Payable and Sales. So, the Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold are missing.
Code:
CustomTxnDetail detail = new CustomTxnDetail();
detail.OfferingId = offeringId.ipp;
detail.OfferingIdSpecified = true;
detail.ReportBasis = ReportBasisEnum.Accrual;
detail.ReportBasisSpecified = true;
detail.ItemsElementName = new ItemsChoiceType6[] {
ItemsChoiceType6.StartTransactionDate,
ItemsChoiceType6.EndTransactionDate,
};
detail.Items = new object[] {
new DateTime(2013, 1, 1),
new DateTime(2013, 12, 31),
};
detail.Columns = new[] {
DetailColumnsEnum.AccountId,
DetailColumnsEnum.AccountName,
DetailColumnsEnum.Amount,
DetailColumnsEnum.DocNum,
DetailColumnsEnum.ItemId,
DetailColumnsEnum.ItemName,
DetailColumnsEnum.ItemType,
DetailColumnsEnum.TxnDate,
DetailColumnsEnum.TxnId,
DetailColumnsEnum.TxnLineId,
DetailColumnsEnum.TxnType,
DetailColumnsEnum.UnitPrice,
};
detail.TxnType = new[] {
TxnTypeEnum.Invoice,
};
ReportingServices rptSvc = new ReportingServices(context);
Report rpt = rptSvc.CustomTxnDetailsReport(detail);

Any thoughts? I'm totally stuck :(

Answer 1

Can you check if those missing accounts( Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold ) are in errored state.
You can check by executing a query and setting ErroredObjectsOnly=true.
http://docs.developer.intuit.com/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/0050_Data_Services/v2/0500_QuickBooks_Windows/0100_Calling_Data_Services/0015_Retrieving_Objects#Objects_in_Error_State
If the entity is in error state, you can query for the specific reason using the SyncStatus API:
http://docs.developer.intuit.com/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/0050_Data_Services/v2/0500_QuickBooks_Windows/0600_Object_Reference/SyncStatus
From there, you will need to delete or revert the object in error state, depending on if a sync has occurred.

Thanks

Answer 2

Please query on DetailColumnsEnum.AccountType. It should have the COGS account. Inventory should come under Fixed Asset
Refer:
https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0050_data_services/v2/0500_quickbooks_windows/064_reports/customtxndetail
Only the following account sub types are supported by the SDK-
Enumeration of Account sub-types used to categorize accounts in QuickBooks. Values: Bank, Accounts Receivable, Other Current Asset, Fixed Asset, Other Asset, Accounts Payable, Credit Card, Other Current Liability, Long Term Liability, Equity, Income, Cost of Goods Sold, Expense, Other Income, Other Expense, Non-Posting
For description of all account sub types refer:
https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0050_data_services/v2/0500_quickbooks_windows/0600_object_reference/account

Answer 3

It turns out that this is a known bug in the Quickbooks API. I opened a ticket with Intuit. They were extremely helpful and one of their developers was able to reproduce this problem.
However, there is no workaround for this right now. And, I was left with the impression that it won't be fixed anytime soon.
QBD V2: Intuit acknowledges this is a bug. (CustomTxnDetail does not return COGS transactions)
QBD V3: As of this posting, there are no ReportingServices available in V3
If anyone else finds a workaround for retrieving actual cost transactions that can be tracked back to an invoice/sales receipt, I would greatly appreciate hearing about how you did it.
