Does anyone know if PayrollItemWageRef is supported in a time tracking add operation?

All I could find on the topic was this pdf from 2004 for a QB online edition, page 65 of which indicates that it isn't supported for time tracking add. Seems like this still might be the case, since I get an XML parse error when including it.

Sample code snippet:


Also, if that is the case and it can't be used, does anyone know of a workaround to add time tracking entries for employees that have pay generated from their timesheets?

I have one idea of a workaround which is to temporarily disable the employee's time-based pay option while the time entry is added and then turn it back on. This hopefully will be possible using PayrollInfoUseTimeDataToCreatePaychecks in Employee.

Edit: Unfortunately that won't work anyway because then I still won't have specified a payroll item for the time entry when the option is turned back on. Still looking for a solution.

It turns out the ordering of sibling elements is important, and in my case PayrollItemWageRef needed to be placed between Duration and Notes. I previously had it ordered before both these elements.

The onscreen reference turned out to be very valuable in eventually tracking this down.
