I have come across an issue with tax codes, and viewing the following SO topic I managed to discover the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63719239/405764

However, the question now arises, as to if its possible to tell if the installation is a USA installation or not, from the API. Is there an endpoint I can use to find this out?

When I say "USA" installation, I am referring to the locale of the company. For instance, you can create sandbox companies (see image:)

I currently have an application environment setting that I can switch on and off based on the installation, but I would much prefer it to be automated.

Anyone? Thanks

My Answer:
"installation is a USA installation," I am referring to whether the Quickbooks software has been set up for use in the United States, including the appropriate tax codes and settings for US tax regulations.

To determine if the installation is a USA installation, you can use the CompanyInfo endpoint in the Quickbooks API. This endpoint provides information about the company, including the country setting. You can check the country setting to see if it is set to "United States" or another country.

Here is an example of how you can use the CompanyInfo endpoint to check the country setting:

php
// Make a GET request to the CompanyInfo endpoint
$response = $quickbooks->query('SELECT * FROM CompanyInfo');

// Check the country setting in the response
$companyInfo = $response->get('QueryResponse.CompanyInfo');
$country = $companyInfo['Country'];

if($country == 'United States'){
echo 'This is a USA installation';
} else {
echo 'This is not a USA installation';
}


By using the CompanyInfo endpoint in the Quickbooks API, you can determine if the installation is set up for use in the United States or not.
