Method Community

We have completed a major server upgrade today - basically we have trippled the size of the Method server structure to handle the growing Method community. There is one thing you'll need to do on your end if you have left your computer with QuickBooks on it on over the weekend: 1. Close the Method Integration Engine on your Desktop.  ...

Monday I made a copy of QB file and put it on the Server.  I had the QB file open on my Laptop pointed to the server.  We installed the applications on my laptop.  I am now in Dallas and it has not synced since the first one when I was plugged into my network.  Do we need to install the files on the server?  So we had some ...

I have spoke to your support by phone and the email address in QuickBooks does not seem to be setup to sync back to Method and Method does not allow you to enter an email address for sales reps.  The only way it works properly is to enter a new sales rep in Method, but I need to get current sales reps email addresses updated that were in ...

Of course - wrong grid. How stuipd of me... While I'm here I have another question: Yesterday I tested receiving an item and it showed up in QB and in the sidebar grid on the Receive Items screen. But none of the historical (real) received item entries that were received in QB are showing up in the sidebar grid. Should they not sync ...

Thank you for leading me in the right direction to fix this.  I removed the criteria to check mark is waiting for sync approval and did a quick upload to replace where it was set to FALSE.  Down side is that is still isn't linked to the Invoices so I do have to manually close them anyway, but at least they are in QB now.

Hi milos, The only fields that I can see are missing from the API are EditSequence and TimeCreated. EditSequence is only useful with regard to the sync with QB so that leaves us with TimeCreated. Is there a reason you need to access this field via the API or is there another field you're unable to see as well? --Audisho

Hi Mahlon, Are you testing this on a Method for QBO account? As far as I can tell, this is a QBO field and was available in Method for QBO prior to M:N. It looks like the field is now available to both versions in M:N, but I don’t believe it will sync with the QBD version. -Audisho

turned out qbs file was corrupted. After 3 verifications and a rebuild and a couple of full syncs we only have 4 conflicts now. Is this kind of conflict issue often due to qbs file corruption? We have had lots of issues with qbs since 2013 version so will know in future its probably a corrupted file not sync issue? thanks

Hi Justin, Unfortunately Method Outlook Plug-In v2 does not have "Auto Sync" feature. You do need to manually click Synchronize button in order for your Outlook calendar to get updated. We will however look into implementing this feature in the future versions of Method Outlook Plug-In. Thank you Victor

Hi nick_warren, You mentioned you have a conflict. Until that conflict is resolved the change will not occur in QB in this case. When a conflict occurs the sync engine does not know how to proceed, so to protect your data from being corrupted it waits for you to tell it how to resolve the conflict. Here's a scenario, You change an ...
