Thanks

Ok Thanks.

Hi,
You can't set prices to include vat in the api. So You'll have to work out the vat rate and set the appropriate vatRate and rate fields when using the api
Thanks

Ok so there is no flag that says VAT inc or ex?
-
If not, any chance you could add in the next api feature update? Do you release api updates regularly?
-
Thanks Louise (BTW what software do you use to power your chat in this window?)
-
No flag - so prices are always ex VAT. We do update the API from time to time - we'll add this to the list.
We use intercom. The in app chat is handy alright. -
Ok thank you for that Louise.
I've created two invoices using https://accounts-app.bullethq.com/invoices/add.page.
Using different choices for "Prices include VAT:"
https://accounts-app.bullethq.com/invoices/view.page?id=452632
https://accounts-app.bullethq.com/invoices/view.page?id=452633
I received following data using bullethq api.
[28] => Array
(
[outstandingAmount] => 9.99
[id] => 452632
[invoiceNumber] => q111
[currency] => EUR
[dueDate] => 2015-11-07
[issueDate] => 2015-10-08
[draft] => 1
[clientName] => testerq
[clientId] => 167801
[poNumber] =>
[invoiceLines] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 492185
[quantity] => 1
[rate] => 9.99
[vatRate] => 0.23
[description] => testq.com
[item] => Domain
)
)
)
[29] => Array
(
[outstandingAmount] => 12.29
[id] => 452633
[invoiceNumber] => q112
[currency] => EUR
[dueDate] => 2015-11-07
[issueDate] => 2015-10-08
[draft] => 1
[clientName] => testerp
[clientId] => 167802
[poNumber] =>
[invoiceLines] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 492186
[quantity] => 1
[rate] => 9.99
[vatRate] => 0.23
[description] => testp.com
[item] => Domain
)
)
)
In json output;
both items have rate=>9.99, vatRate=>0.23 but there is nothing that indicates "Prices include VAT".
Also, API documentation does not say anything about what parameter to use to set Prices include VAT. It treats it as "Prices include VAT => NO" when i create an invoice using api at the moment.
