Special field attributes

Field Conditions and Requirements

billableAmount

If the Multi-currency Installed Module is enabled, this field will return the relevant Customer Currency values instead of the Internal Currency values.

billingCodeID

 

The billingCodeID must reference a Material Cost Code.

ChangeOrderCharge must have either a productID or billingCodeID.

If no billing code ID is supplied but a product ID is, then we default the billingCodeID value to the one associated with the product.

contractServiceID

contractServiceBundleID

Only contractServiceID or contractServiceBundleID can be set, not both.

The contractServiceID/contractServiceBundleID must be associated to the contract on the project. If you pass in contractServiceID or contractServiceBundleID, and the Contract they are associated with isn't associated with the Project your taskID is associated with, you will get an error.

extendedCost

This entity field will return no information if the user account making the query does not have sufficient privileges to view cost data in the Autotask UI. Additionally, if an update request does not have the necessary permissions, the API will ignore the call's values for the field even if they are blank or would be otherwise required.

internalCurrencyBillableAmount

If the Multi-currency Installed Module is enabled, this field will return the saved Internal Currency values.

internalCurrencyUnitPrice

If the Multi-currency Installed Module is enabled, this field will return the saved Internal Currency values.

productID

 

ProjectCharge must have either a productID or billingCodeID.

If no allocation code id is supplied but a product id is, then we default the billingCodeID value to the one associated with the product.

Cannot be changed during an update

taskID

Cannot be changed during an update

Must reference a Task and not an Issue

Can only be associated with change order charges

unitCost

This entity field will return no information if the user account making the query does not have sufficient privileges to view cost data in the Autotask UI. Additionally, if an update request does not have the necessary permissions, the API will ignore the call's values for the field even if they are blank or would be otherwise required.

unitCost, unitPrice

If a unitCost/unitPrice is not supplied, then it will default to that on the product.

If the allocation code id value is supplied and the unitCost or unitPrice is not supplied then we use the following logic to default the values for unitCost, unitPrice, and isBillableToCompany:

If the contract on the project (if applicable) has contract cost defaults, then use the unit cost/price of those defaults. Otherwise, we use the material cost code's unit cost/price. The fields values will only be defaulted if a value was not provided for them (if you supply unit cost but no unit price, then we only default the unit price value and the supplied unit cost will remain).

If the Multi-currency Installed Module is enabled, these fields will return the relevant Customer Currency values instead of the Internal Currency values.
