New Line break in Shipping Address

[ITQuoter]

Hi, 

Found this old issue: https://community.myob.com/t5/MYOB-API-questions-and-answers/New-line-break-in-purchase-order/m-p/57...

But it seems there's no solution on how to split into multiple lines on shipping address.

Can anyone help us out. thanks.

Hi @ITQuoter 

Thanks for reaching out, The AccountRight API only allows for a single string to be used in your request body when sending invoices to a company file. You can use `\r\n` as a line break in the request body to separate the shipping address information into multiple lines in AccountRight. For example, the shipping address details can be sent via the API as `"ShipToAddress": "Jacob API\r\n17 Made Up Road\r\nXXXX NSW 2056\r\nAustralia\r\n"` which creates the invoice in the format shown in the attached screenshot. When extracting the invoice to retrieve the shipping address details, there is no way to show each component in it's own line. The shipping address details will be represented in the `"ShipToAddress": "Jacob API\r\n17 Made Up Road\r\nXXXX NSW 2056\r\nAustralia\r\n"` format when retrieving it via the API.

Hi, 

Any update on this, as there are many clients who use myob that integrates in our app.

Hi @ITQuoter,

Would you please be able to create an API support request with us here. This will allow us to have a more in-depth look into what is occurring with the address field.

For anyone still struggling with this I found that changing the quotes around my string from single to double quotes solved the problem:

'Street\r\nSuburb'

to:

"Street\r\nSuburb"
