Creating Sales Receipt with Sales Tax QBO API - quickbooks

Question

I am trying to create a sales receipt with tax included. I understand that the SalesTaxCodeId/SalesTaxCodeName has not been implemented for the Quickbooks API v2, so I'm trying to directly add a tax rate through the field. Here is my request:
<SalesReceipt xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2" xmlns:ns2="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbopayroll/v1" xmlns:ns3="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbo">
<Header>
<CustomerId idDomain="QBO">10</CustomerId>
<TaxRate>5.00</TaxRate>
<DepositToAccountId>52</DepositToAccountId>
</Header>
<Line>
<Id>1</Id>
<Desc>asdfdsafds</Desc>
<Amount>500.00</Amount>
<Taxable>true</Taxable>
<ItemId idDomain="QBO">5</ItemId>
<Qty>1</Qty>
<AccountId>52</AccountId>
</Line>
However, I'm getting a rather cryptic error as a response.
<Message>You must select a product/service or an account for each split line with either an amount or a billable $$customer$$.</Message><ErrorCode>BAD_REQUEST</ErrorCode><Cause>-13012</Cause>
This error only occurs if the tax rate results in a non-zero tax amount. i.e. if the tax rate is non-zero and the line item is taxable, otherwise the request goes through fine. The error code does not exist in any documentation I can find and the error message is not all that helpful. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
EDIT: updated itembyid response

Answer 1

Can you check if the item with ID 5 exists in your account. You should also check the SalesTax settings.
[ QBO Account - 'Company' tab => Preferences ]
I tried with the same condition which you have mentioned above.
i.e. [ if the tax rate is non-zero and the line item is taxable ]
It worked fine. PFB details.

I'll also try to reproduce the exact error msg. If I get something, I'll update it here.

Thanks

Answer 2

In your SalesReceipt request line, you are passing the
< AccountId >52 .
The Line item does not support this tag.
https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0050_data_services/v2/0500_quickbooks_windows/0600_object_reference/salesreceipt
I think this might be the issue.
