IPP Add Account - The Account Isn't Valid - intuit-partner-platform

Question

I am trying to add a bank account to QuickBooks Online using IPP. My code fails and says the account isn't valid. Here is my code:
Account account = new Account();
account.Desc = "Desc";
account.Name = "Checking2";
account.Type = AccountTypeEnum.Revenue;
account.TypeSpecified = true;
account.Subtype = AccountSubtypeEnum.Bank.ToString();
dataServices.Add(account);
Do I need to add fields? I also receive errors that an account with the same name exists, however, I do not see it.
I don't see any XML in my log:
OAuthRequestValidator oauthValidator = new OAuthRequestValidator(accessToken, accessTokenSecret, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["consumerKey"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["consumerSecret"].ToString());
ServiceContext context = new ServiceContext(oauthValidator, accessToken, companyID, IntuitServicesType.QBO);
context.EnableServiceRequestsLogging = true;
context.IdsLogger = new MyCustomLogger();
dataServices = new DataServices(context);
return "OK";
public class MyCustomLogger : ILogger
{
public MyCustomLogger()
{
}
public string ClearLog()
{
try
{
string path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/qblog.txt");
if (File.Exists(path))
{
File.Delete(path);
}
return "OK";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return ex.ToString();
}
}
public void Log(TraceLevel idsTraceLevel, string messageToWrite)
{
string level = idsTraceLevel.ToString();
WriteToLog(new ErrorMessage(MessageSeverity.Error, "QBFS", messageToWrite));
}
public string WriteToLog(ErrorMessage message)
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(message.Message))
{
string path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/qblog.txt");
FileStream fileStream = null;
//If the file exists, then append it
if (File.Exists(path))
{
fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Append);
}
else
{
fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
}
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fileStream);
try
{
sw.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} : {1} {2} {3}", message.ApplicationName, message.Severity, DateTime.Now, message.Message));
return "OK";
}
//If there is an error, just do nothing. Don't stop.
catch (Exception ex)
{
return ex.ToString();
}
finally
{
sw.Close();
fileStream.Close();
}
}
return "Message is null or empty";
}
}
Here is my xml request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><q1:Account xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbo" xmlns:q1="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2"><q1:Name>Checking</q1:Name><q1:Desc>Desc</q1:Desc><q1:Subtype>Bank</q1:Subtype></q1:Account>
Here is my response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><FaultInfo xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/baseexceptionmodel/xsd"><Message>Another account is already using this name. Please use a different name.</Message><ErrorCode>BAD_REQUEST</ErrorCode><Cause>-11202</Cause></FaultInfo>

Answer 1

I needed to specify the opening and current balance with the true variables:
ac = new Account();
ac.Desc = "Desc";
ac.Name = "Testy";
ac.Subtype = QboAccountDetailTypeEnum.Checking.ToString();
ac.OpeningBalanceDate = DateTime.Now;
ac.OpeningBalanceDateSpecified = true;
ac.CurrentBalance = 0;
ac.CurrentBalanceSpecified = true;
dataServices.Add(ac);
My Subtype was also incorrect. I needed to use the QboAccountDetailTypeEnum.
