Bill Attachments

The Attachment Object

A Rutter Bill Attachment represents a file that can be attached to a bill. For QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage Intacct, and Zoho Books, we provide data for all attachments, whether they were created through our POST endpoint or directly on the platform. For all other platforms, we provide data only for attachments that were created through our POST endpoint.
