Hey Marcelo,

Unfortunately, the invoice needs to by synced to QB for your tax item field to auto-populate. If you have the "Wait for Sync Approval" checked, manually select the tax item, click "Save" and then click on "Print Preview.

If you look at the first post that was my origional question, I would like to print the invoices before they get syncronized, is this hard to costomized?

Hello Marcelo,

I have tested creating invoices in your account on your stock Work Order List screen, and it works fine. Please try again. When you click "Invoice Selected", uncheck the "Set to wait for sync approval". The reason why you didn't see the tax getting calculated automatically is because the invoice is required to be sent to quickbooks in order have the tax calculated. If you had the "Set to wait for sync approval" checked, then the invoice would not have gotten sent to quickbooks instantly, hence you couldn't see the tax being calculated instantly.

Hey Marcelo,

I have tested my stock Invoice Screen and creating multiple invoices from the Work Order List (Field Services) screen, and both works fine. In order to help you, I need you to give me detailed steps on how to recreate the problem you are experiencing. From there, I can troubleshoot this problem for you.

If I select taxable both screens work fine.

The problem is when I create a batch invoice that the tax item does not comes from QB.

In QB I have most of my clients with tax, and a small amount non taxable, but in method all the customers have that tax item dropdown empty.

If I create a single invoice , as soon as I select the customer the tax item box will auto fill, but if I invoice at the end of the month for several customers the tax item box will stay empty.

I really need help with this, I have been trying method for a year now, and have not be able to use it in real data yet.

Hi Marcelo,

Please do as per my instructions from before, and then I will go through how to test the screen. From before: Can you test out the stock QuickBooks_Invoice screen as well? You can test out the stock screen by going to Customize > Screens > search for QuickBooks_Invoice > highlight the mouse over the name then click View on the left side of it.

Once you have done that, try to create a new dummy invoice:

1) Fill in all the essential data marked with a red asterisk.

2) Enter any item into the Line Item grid.

3) Select "Taxable" in the Tax Item dropdown box.

4) Click Save

Is the tax shown this time?

If it works on this screen, then the problem is definetly caused by customization within Method.

It does not calculate the sales tax for me, only after I send the invoices to QB.

Hi Marcelo,

Marcelo11756:
1- I created some invoices and none of the invoices calculated the sales tax, is this because there are set to wait to sync? I have to sync first and then print them.?

To make the calculation appear, you have to click the Save button. As for the wait for sync approval checkbox, having it checked should only affect what you see in QB. You should be able to see the calculation in Method right after you click Save.

Marcelo11756:
2-When you delete an invoice the services in that invoice do they goe back to "to be invoiced" ?

When you delete an invoice, everything (including any service, line items, etc) that is related to that invoice will be delete. There will be no status change whatsoever. Does this answer your question?

Marcelo11756:
3- How do you delete several invoices at once?

To do this, you can simple add a "delete" button that deletes all invoices that are selected.Here is a post that is very similar to your question.

Marcelo11756:
4- I had some customization done by you guys, a check box in the job item line called "on contract" so when is check the invoices would show $0 for that item. When I do invoices this is not working, the price shows in the invoice even know that the "on contract" box is checked.

Since this a customization that is already done and not working properly, I would advise you to get in touch with your consultant. If you need help with a customization job, I can put you in touch with a paid in-house consultant
