When I Query an Account with Type "Cost of Goods Sold" how do I return ExpenseAccountRef? - quickbooks

Question

I currently need two more required fields to Create a NonInventory Item: ExpenseAccountRef.value and ExpenseAccountRef.name
I have issued a Query for AccountType = 'Cost of Goods Sold'
Does Account.Id = ExpenseAccountRef.value?
Does Account.Name = ExpenseAccount.name?
Use Account.Id and Account.Name from that object for
ExpenseAccountRef.value and ExpenseAccountRef.name, respectively.

Yep, you've got it right!
As the documentation you quoted says:
"Use Account.Id ... for ExpenseAccountRef.value
and:
"Account.Name ... for ExpenseAccountRef.name"
Your questions here are correct statements!
Does Account.Id = ExpenseAccountRef.value?
Does Account.Name = ExpenseAccount.name?
You answered your own questions. Woohoo! Go you! :-)
