“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
QuickBooks doesn’t have dedicated subscription revenue fields in its API, but you can combine multiple data points to accurately identify revenue types. The challenge is accessing and analyzing these fields without custom API development.
Here’s how to access all QuickBooks API fields and build sophisticated revenue classification without writing code.
Access QuickBooks API fields directly using Coefficient
Coefficient provides direct access to all QuickBooks API fields through its “From Objects & Fields” import method. You can pull any combination of Invoice, Customer, Sales Receipt, and Payment data without API programming knowledge.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import key Invoice object fields.
Pull CustomerRef, Line.Description, Line.Amount, TxnDate, and any CustomField data from your Invoice objects. These fields contain the patterns you need to identify subscription vs project revenue.
Step 2. Add Customer object data for context.
Import CompanyName, CustomerTypeRef, and customer-level CustomField data. This gives you business type indicators and any custom revenue tags you’ve already created in QuickBooks .
Step 3. Include Payment method patterns.
Pull PaymentMethodRef data from Sales Receipts and Payments. Recurring payment methods like ACH or saved credit cards often indicate subscription revenue streams.
Step 4. Build classification formulas.
Create formulas that analyze billing frequency, amount consistency, and service descriptions. Look for patterns like consistent monthly amounts from the same customer or description keywords that indicate ongoing services.
Step 5. Use filtering for targeted analysis.
Apply Coefficient’s filtering capabilities to create separate imports for different date ranges or customer types. This lets you focus your analysis on specific revenue patterns without processing unnecessary data.
Get granular revenue insights
This approach gives you more detailed revenue classification than QuickBooks’ basic reporting can achieve. You get direct API access with spreadsheet flexibility, no custom development required. Start analyzing your QuickBooks revenue streams with full API field access.
