You don't say which accounting package you are connected to, but one thing that might be happening here is that the Sales tax and subtotal usually get calculated by QuickBooks and can't be overwritten in Method. They could come back as different values than you sent if that's what is going on.

Hi sp9001,

I have emailed you to learn a little bit more about the Invoice request you are making so that I can understand the issue better. You can reply to the email if you are not comfortable sharing it here on the forum.

Cheers,

Weird float problem with Invoices

We're sending invoices to method and the infromation is changing after we send. I'm not sure why.

------------------

Subtotal: Sent as a string with a different value, received as an integer ("6815.00" vs 4590).

SalesTaxTotal: Sent as a string with a different value, received as a float ("885.95" vs 596.7).

These are two items that I'm not sure about. I dont know why they are changing in value, I understand changing type, but the number should at least be the same. Does method have any logging for this sort of thing that I can get access to so I can figure this out?
