Hi JohnM, [quote user="John M"]Will a full sync only sync when method knows there was changes? [/quote]If a full sync is already running then Method won't trigger another (even if you press the button).  A full sync can be run even if there are no changes it just runs a little quicker since there's nothing to ...

Thanks Paul, good to know.  But it seems a bit counter-intuitive to hide the sync settings until after you've already done a sync!  I'm glad that I was able to find them.  I'd prefer that you have a "Show Sync Settings" link on that page right from the start.  For this client the primary issue is that we ...

Hi eshep, Make sure that you are adding the appointment to the correct calendar in your Google calendar account. You can change the calendar by selecting the Edit Event >> on the desktop version of Google calendar. If you’re doing this from a mobile app, there should be a way to specify the calendar from within the app. The Method ...

Hi Brian, There's no one-way-only sync available as that would defeat the purposed of our Sync Engine. You can, however, prevent most transactions from being synced over to QuickBooks by utilizing the Wait For Sync Approval? option. For other types of records you would not want to be modified and synced from Method, you can edit your ...

Hi Dave- If the Method Sync engine is running on the computer that is designated the main syncing computer, when any change is made in Method it will get pushed automatically to QB and vice versa (To have changes come over automatically from QB to Method you will need to make sure that you install the Method sync engine on all computers with ...

 Hello Sheila, The length of time it takes to do a full sync varies. It depends on a few factors such as how big your QB file is, how far back you have set your transaction history in Method and the speed of your network if you have the QB file on a server, to name a few.  It can range from a minute to hours. You seem to be trying to ...

 Hey John, I tried to get this message but was not able to. Can you lay out the steps you took? Was this done while the initial sync was finishing?  Or had you finished the original sync, then tried to edit this estimate? The steps I took, Step 1 Open an existing estimate in Method, that has been synced to QuickBooks Step 2, ...

 Hi Bob, Just adding to my last comment, if the first sync never completed properly, a changes only would keep trying a full sync until it finally completes. You can verify if a full sync was performed by going to QuickBooks > Synchronize > Edit Synchronization preferences check the date for 'Full Synchronization', in the ...

 Hi Paul, Thanks for the reply and info.  We tried setting the BuildAssembly table / IsWaitForSyncApproval True/False but it did not work for us.    Let me give a little more infol and ask a few more questions, and hope you can help us out. Info1:  When we create a new Buld Assembly item using API, we need ...

 Hi Bob, By default Method performs a changes only sync every 20 minutes or whenever something is updated in QB/ Method or when QB opens. To confirm whether your engine is performing a full sync or a changes only sync you can go to Customize > Audit Trail and under the Action column do a filter by 'syn' you'll then see either ...
