QuickBooks Department API

The Department resource provides a way to track transactions based on physical locations such as stores, sales regions, or countries. As you create sales and expense transactions, consistently designate the department to which they belong. Delete is achieved by setting the Active attribute to false in an entity update request; thus, making it inactive. In this type of delete, the record is not permanently deleted, but is hidden for display purposes. References to inactive objects are left intact.
