To create a standard ItemOtherCharge item you can use a INSERT statement like this:

INSERT INTO ItemOtherCharge 
("Name", "IsActive", "SalesORPurchaseDesc",
"SalesTaxCodeRefListID", "SalesOrPurchasePrice", "SalesOrPurchaseAccountRefListID")
VALUES
('Equip Repairs', TRUE, 'Equipment Repair Charge',
'20000-999022286', 100.00, '190000-933270541')

Which looks like this in QuickBooks 2007:

But before you add any new Other Charge, you should check the ITEM table first to see if the new Other Charge Name is not already used in QuickBooks. The ITEM table is a combined list of all Item tables in QuickBooks: ItemInventory, ItemNonInventory, ItemOtherCharge, ItemInventoryAssembly, ItemService, ItemFixedAsset, and ItemGroup; with minimum common fields.

When inserting a new ItemOtherCharge item the Name can't already be, for example, a ItemInventory, ItemNonInventory, ItemOtherCharge, ItemInventoryAssembly, ItemService, ItemFixedAsset, or ItemGroup FullName already. It must be a unquie new ITEM FullName!

To see the item fullnames, you can run the following query in VB Demo:

SELECT ListID, FullName, Description, Type FROM Item

In my case, my Australian QuickBooks 2004 sample file returned the following items:

And like ITEM there's a ENTITY table that's the combined list of all entity tables in QuickBooks: Customers, Employees, Othernames, and Vendors; with minimum common fields.

So when inserting a new Customer name the FullName can't be, for example, a Customer, Employee, Othername, or Vendor already. It must be a unquie new ENTITY FullName in QuickBooks!
