## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the sales representative to update.

## Request body

- object
  - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of the sales representative object you are updating, which you can get by fetching the object first.

  - `initial` string — The initials of this sales representative's name. Maximum length: 5 characters.
  - `isActive` boolean — Indicates whether this sales representative is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`.

## Response `200`

Returns the updated sales representative.
