Hello Cheryl, Here's my answer. Work orders does not sync with quickbooks, you have to create an invoice of the work order in order to sync them with quickbooks. In regards to Estimates make sure that the Wait for Sync Approval is unchecked on the Field Service Center -> Estimate -> Add/Edit Estimate Screen, this will ensure that ...

Hi Mike, It looks like QuickBooks doesn't like receiving an empty field after it has been populated.  I did several tests based off what you said, and agree if you add a note in Method for a Customer, sync to QuickBooks, then try to blank out the note from Method, QuickBooks doesn't allow this blank value, so it keeps the ...

[quote user="pdirect"]How does the Method sync fit into that process?[/quote]  The process is pretty simple from our end.  Method will sync based on the ID numbers from QuickBooks so as long as these don't change durning the upgrade then you'll be fine.  Method won't even be aware that anything has changed at ...

I understand now, thanks for elaborating. To clarify, the Phone and AltPhone fields are stock QuickBooks fields which is why they cannot be deleted. Why don't you just create two custom fields in QuickBooks when editing one of your customer records, name them Phone 2 and Phone 3. Make sure to put a checkmark in the 'Cust' ...

@MrDigitronic - Method creates a new Google Calendar, one per Method user. That Google Calendar syncs with the user's calendar in Method. In your case, I imagine you'll have your User setup as the crew leader. So for each crew leader you'll schedule a work order in Method, and it will sync to the corresponding Google Calendar. In ...

Method on my computer is no longer syncing with Quickbooks on our main computer. The last sync date was July. Can you please let me know how to fix this? Thanks, Juliet
