Special field attributes
Field | Conditions and Requirements |
---|---|
lineItemFullDescription | billingItem.lineItemFullDescription contains the description for a billingItem. |
lineItemGroupDescription | When billingItems are grouped on an invoice, the lineItemGroupDescription contains the description for the grouped items. lineItemFullDescription is also available for billingItems that are grouped. |
lineItemID |
When multiple billingItems that are associated with the same internalCurrencytaxDollars share the same lineItemID, those items are grouped. It is possible for a billingItem to have a unique lineItemID and still be "grouped" in a group of one item.To confirm the group status of a billingItem, refer to invoice.invoiceEditorTemplateID and the invoiceTemplate.groupBy value. |
ourCost |
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. |

NOTE The BillingItem entity includes the webServiceDate field that allows the external application to flag the date and time that the object is processed.
