  • Scheduled to ship with the v1704 release, custom price rules will be available to select QuickBooks companies via the UI, only. The allows the QuickBooks company to establish custom price rules (known as price levels), rather than base pricing, to use on sales forms for any given customer or item. For companies so enabled, creating transactions with base pricing may not be what the user intends. Make sure your app is aware of how Preferences.SalesFormsPrefs.UsingPriceLevels is set so you can warn your users appropriately. Support for price levels in the QuickBooks Online API is not planned.
  • Price Levels FAQs
    • I have customers who are already using my app, how will they be affected because of this new feature? There is no factor if your app pulls pricing data for the intent of read-only purposes. That is, it reads pricing information from the QuickBooks online company but doesn’t actively write it back or set pricing in sales forms.
    • I am developing a new integration with QBO, what code should I add in my app to address this new feature ? Make sure your app is aware of how Preferences.SalesFormsPrefs.UsingPriceLevels is set in the QuickBooks Online company. For companies so enabled, make sure your users are aware that your app cannot access custom price levels.
    • What happens if I don’t make this change ? Will this corrupt the user’s data? Blindly creating sales transactions with base pricing when the QuickBooks Online company has price levels enabled may not be what the user intends and could result in sales transactions that silently have incorrect pricing.
