I’m trying to perform a BillAdd request on QuickBooks Desktop using their SDK, but the AccountRef of the expense lines can’t seem to find sub-accounts by name. I don’t have the List ID so I need to be able to search by name, and I am able to do it successfully for accounts, but when it comes to sub-accounts I get the following error message:

There is an invalid reference to QuickBooks Account “My sub-account” in the Bill. QuickBooks error message: Invalid argument. The specified record does not exist in the list.

Is there a workaround for this? Do I need to know the account whom it belongs to?

Thank you
