Hi Adam, We'd like the actual rate / price to be able to be seen when viewing a chosen customer's information.  (Most likely I can do this by adding a column for the specific field to the grid.)  Your second statement in the second paragraph is exactly where I'm going with this as I'm trying to understand what is the ...

Stephen, My apologies, there is a button on the Item Receipt screen to select a Purchase order.  If you select the Items tab when entering the receipt, you should see a Select PO... button.  Here are some screens: This will bring up a screen to select the open purchase orders from the vendor. I think this is what you are looking for. ...

Ok I suspect what's happening is that the business user is giving me bad information on what they were doing in Quickbooks. I should be trying to emulate this functionality: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/enter-a-bill-if-you-have-recorded-an-item-receipt0.html I'm going to confirm some stuff and probably proceed on this basis.

I don't think this is a conversion thing. If I'm creating a bill, I can associate it with a Purchase Order. When I do this and the items have not been previously received, the items are received now. This is a situation where we created a PO and sent it to a vendor, and the vendor sent us the items on the PO, but not the bill (yet). In ...

Hi Dan, When you mention "enter into the actual Rate" field, do you mean in the transaction screen? If so, then yes, if you change the rate on the individual transaction, it won't have any affect on the price level. There are many ways to achieve price levels. As long as the price on the transaction is okay, I would think you're ...

Hi Stephen, Unfortunately, I don't believe this functionality is available in a stock Method account. Just to clarify, are you wanting to create a bill from an item receipt? Or a bill from a purchase order?   As per this article, an item receipt to bill conversion is not available through the SDK. Hope this helps, - Adam

Hi wildlife, We don't have any webinars on this unfortunately. However, if you go into your screen designer and customize the "New Activity" screen -- find the drop down for "Choose email template" and click "Edit". If you look at the actions for that, you will see a bunch of merge field actions -- those actions ...

Are there any Webinars on how to setup the merge fields. I would like to create my own templates that pull info from work orders and different places, I just don't understand this process. I read the link you posted earlier on merge fields but that didn't explain how to create them. From what I read it sounded like all I would have to do ...

I'm having a very difficult time understanding how the db is organized. Quite simply, I'm trying to add Contacts via the MethodAPIInsertV2 call, and running into multiple issues. It seems to me that data is duplicated between Customer, Contact and Entity records, and I'm not sure where the data should go. Furthermore, I understand ...

Allo and Happy Holidays! Wow! Not only have I not blogged in a while, this will be my last blog of the year! Have I been working on things? Yes! I have! And I will hope to get them out before the year ends. However, I need to share a video with you! A Happy Holiday video that Alex, the documentation guy, made with me! Alex decided he ...
