QBOnline API: Problems with overriding Sales Tax - passed in values not respected on Invoice (AST seems to override my override)
Hi all,
Yes, I'm new to the API. Diving in head first! :)
I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem with my app. It's submitting new Invoices to the QBOnline API, and passing in all the line item information. We aren't trying to use the AST system - so I was trying to set the override values. (Documentation: https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/workflows/manage-sales-tax-for-us-locales#specifying-sales-tax)
I think that I am providing the values correctly, but the system is still calculating it's own sales tax amount.
