Custom line number via SDK about avatax-rest-v2-php-sdk HOT 5 CLOSED

The line parameter function does not add it to the line item model, but to a 'parameter' field in the line item model.

I also needed this functionality, made a PR here: #58

Hi @antwaanvh @jondmcelroy
The parameter field in the TransactionLineItemModel does not have unlimited option or storage for custom data, for a full list of option please call the ListParameter API. https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/LineItemModel%20%3E%20Parameters/

If you would like to store custom data tie to each transaction/line item you should consider using the reference fields listed here: https://developer.avalara.com/avatax/dev-guide/customizing-transaction/using-reference-fields/

Thank you for raising the question, and let me know if this approach is not what you are looking for.

I believe that he is referring to the number field on the line item:
https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/LineItemModel/

Its only custom in thinking towards the SDK which forces it to an auto-incremented number behind the scenes.

Hi @jondmcelroy @antwaanvh
So in that case, the transactionBuilder is only meant to build out a transactionModel for you. In case of the transactionLineModel you would actually have to construct the model, which you can include a custom "number" property for your own reference. And add the transactionLineMode to your transactionModel through the transactionBuilder method withLineItem()

I hope this helps,

Thanks @jondmcelroy for clearing that up!
@han8909227 I saw that in the source code and went with that approach, thanks! 🎉
