Hi Randall, That field is calculated behind the scenes, in order to prevent conflicts with QuickBooks which has to validate the line items. Instead of modifying that field, you could have your calculations set another field in the grid such as amount (which will be used in the total amount calculation), or any custom ...

I exported 2 columns from the "Customer and Customer Lead" selection in the export dropdown: "Record ID" and "SalesRep". I changed a group of sales rep IDs (eg. "AF" and "SW" to "SL") and then imported it back into Method. Everything seemed fine at the time, but the next day, ...

Hi Russell, I've looked through the calculations on that page, and I don't see anything that looks like it will update the total amount.  Yet, the total amount refreshes when the 'update' button is clicked.  Can you tell me which action is causing this?  If I can see what's causing the total amount on the line ...

Thanks Russell.  I will look into this further and see how far I can go with this customization. Can I contact you directly if I have any questions? --Sandy

Hi Randall, The default Estimate screen uses calculations on the line items (for example to calculate the amount), so from the sounds of your request this is where you would add additional actions for the extended cost. To get to these actions, first open up the Estimate screen for editing (making a copy if you haven't customized the ...

Our estimate line has quantity and our cost per item.  But I'd like to put in a column for our extended cost per line item.  This doesn't seem to be doable with loops and ...

Hi Dfreye, To restrict one group of users to these basic functions, I would first create a User Role for that, and remove all of the other tabs/screens from this role. More information on this can be found here: http://www.method.me/cs/forums/t/3664.aspx. Then you could either modify an existing screen to disable some features for this ...

Hi Sandy, By default there are 3 columns displayed under the Item dropdown: ParentFullName, ItemType, and SalesDesc. All of the columns are searched when text is entered into the dropdown, but you could remove the description field SalesDesc if you don't want that to be searchable. To do this, open up the screen you are using (as a ...
