Update custom field on QuickBooks invoices

I have a custom field I have created in each Quickbooks Online Invoice to record our actual shipping costs. I am extracting these costs from CSV files, but cannot figure out how to write this one value into this one field in an invoice.

I have the values ready in formatter, and have got the correct invoice in the QBO Action. All I need is a way to “post” this value in the custom field.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks!

Hi there @GoldenChannels - Thanks for writing to us! It sounds like you may be needing a lookup table. Here’s a use case that another user did to get that field into the custom field:

 

We also demonstrate this here in our help article:

 


Its seems like I am having a similar issue, your answers though are not a solution to this. The problem is that the custom fields created in quickbooks are not showing when trying to create or update a record. Example, I am trying to add a record ID from one software to quickbooks to create a look up reference for other integrations, however I have no input field on zapier for my custom field in quickbooks, making this impossible to complete.
