This is so that your company file does not fill up with lead customers and also for you to be able to track all contact prior to them actually becoming a customer. If you create the estimate in Method, you will be able to see lead status customers and use them to create estimates.</p> <p><br />After you remove the checkmark for &quot;lead status only&quot;, this client gets pushed into QuickBooks because they are now considered a customer. </p> <p><br />A better way to go about this would be to create estimates in Method.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/1488.aspxWed, 07 Oct 2009 17:09:14 GMT3393c1ec-311b-4812-96cb-ad8c611bba4f:1488Michele0http://forums.method.me/cs/forums/thread/1488.aspxhttp://forums.method.me/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=1488<p>I have set up several leads in Method.&nbsp; Currently I am creating estimates directly in QB.&nbsp; Since the &#39;lead&#39; was not in QB when I created an estimate I also created a &#39;duplicate&#39; customer.&nbsp; The only thing I can think of to work around this is to go to Method and update the &#39;Lead only&#39; or &#39;active customer&#39; check boxes before creating the estimate.</p> <p>Is there a better way?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Michele</p>
