    Hi Komal_S 

     

    Problem solved - minor bug in my JSON dictionary - my coding loop to decide whether a line in a service invoice was a "Type: Header" or "Type: Transaction" - however my lookup only said - if the word in this line is "Header" then ignore

    instead of - if word in this line is "Type: Header" - 

    and the bug was if the line description had a word in there ........... header ........    then that line was ignored.

     

    And the 1 in 1000 invoices - a description had the word ... header in there which resulted that line being ignored.

    The bug has been fixed.

Hi The_Doc 

 

Thank you for providing that information. 
 
The API team will look into these notes, if you do want to set up a ticket with them to investigate it further, they will be able to track it in their support system. Alternatively, we can move this post to the API board so it can be responded to here.

Let us know how you wish to proceed.

    Hi Komal_S 

     

    Thanks for the reply - yes move the post to API board please - ticket 'not yet'

     

    I have done some further investigation this morning - and have noted that the API DOES download both versions - and am now stepping through my JSON to data code to see why this particular transaction line is being missed.

     

    I had thought that by removing the description this particular line is triggering over some variable length in my code - but this isn't it.

     

    I will keep you advised but I think MYOB this is a bug in my code - but not sure! Interesting though!

     

    Regards The Doc
