QuickBooks Department API is one of 82 APIs that [QuickBooks](https://apis.io/providers/quickbooks/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. This API exposes 12 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Department. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, a getting-started guide, authentication docs, an AsyncAPI specification, and 12 JSON Schemas.

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.
