So yes, to answer your question, the grid and the add new line item button is gone, but I never removed them.

We're not talking simply about your business, we're talking about the majority of businesses.  I've been managing IT for small businesses since 1998 and I can attest that your experience is not the norm. Most businesses will either use QB or both QB and Method.  And my point was that Method development should focus first on ...

My two cents. I think this feature is broadly beneficial and very consistent with good development strategy for Method. QB is great for accounting functions, and in many cases it would be the only tool anyone would want to use.  But, for order entry, production planning, invoicing and shipping it has a rather limited feature set.  A ...
