Service Date not showing on QBO Invoice when using Bundle (GroupLineDetail) via Zapier

I'm automating invoice creation in QuickBooks Online via Zapier, and I'm running into an issue specifically with Bundle line items and the Service Date field

- When I create an invoice with a regular product/service item, the Service Date is submitted and displays correctly on the invoice.
- When I use a Bundle item instead (same Zap, same date input, same format), the Service Date is submitted but does not appear on the invoice.

From my research, I understand this is likely because Zapier's QBO integration uses SalesItemLineDetail for regular items (which supports ServiceDate), but switches to GroupLineDetail for bundles — and the ServiceDate field does not carry through in that structure.

My invoice must remain as a single grouped Bundle line item, so breaking it into individual components is not an option.

Has anyone found a working solution for this? Specifically, has anyone successfully used Code by Zapier to construct a custom GroupLineDetail payload that includes the ServiceDate field when calling the QBO API?

Hi ​@Gervasio Ramirez SA 

You’ll likely have to explore using the QBO API to make a custom API request.

Hello ​@Gervasio Ramirez SA 

You’ve got it right. In the QBO API, bundle items use GroupLineDetail, and ServiceDate isn’t supported at the group level like it is for SalesItemLineDetail. So even with Code by Zapier or a fully custom Webhooks request, there’s nowhere for QBO to store and display that date on the bundled line.

Best workarounds while keeping it as one bundle line

Put the service date in the bundle line Description so it prints
Use an invoice level Custom Field for the service date
If you set ServiceDate on the member lines inside the group, QBO may accept it, but it usually still won’t render on the grouped summary line

If the field is in a line item, use loop to get them.

Hi Tanvi and Sam,

Thanks for answering my question!

I followed the suggestion the Support team made via email and changed the zap “Create Invoice” to “API Request (beta)”.
This made it possible to submit exactly ServiceDate into GroupLineDetail.
It takes a bit of a minute reading QBO documentation on how to format the body when doing the POST to create the invocie.

 

Hopefully “API Request” stays as a feature, or eventually you can fix the bug via “Create Invoice”

Thanks, you can close this ticket.
Best,

Gervasio
