We'd like to be able to write an invoice directly from an estimate. It appears that the current method flow is estimate > create workorder > create invoice. Quickbooks can write invoices directly from invoices. Can method do this currently? Or can I attach a create invoice button to the estimate screen and make it ...

Dave - This would work similar to a invoice or other transaction that has line items. First you add and modify the line items, then you save the invoice using the SendToDesktop API call. In this case first you modify the ItemGroupOrAssemblyList.  Then you use the SendToDesktop API call on ...

Hi Dave - We don't currently have an "Duplicate" buttons on items.  We have them in other places, like on the Opportunties screen for example.   If we were to do it, we would just stick a button on the Method version of the Item Inventory Assembly screen that comes from the Item List.  ...

In step 4 I selected the check boxes for "Show Date and Time" and "override default time of day to" for the default time of day I ...

Richard - Nothing would prevent you from creating a 3rd party application. That's why we created the Method API.  Your developer can create an app for your specific purposes and use the Method API to push data into Method as well as pull data into Method.  The Method API is very rich and used often.  In ...

I am trying to customize the "Go to" button on the activities section of the customer list screen (it is a customized CustomerList screen if that matters, but it shouldn't) to open the correct screen based on the type of activity that is selected. So if for example the activity that I select is a work order, it would open the ...

Paul, It's working now. thanks.
