Method Community

We're trying to minimize the size of our Method database in an effort to speed things up a bit. After several years working with QB & Method, our QB file & Method DB have grown QUITE large. My question is related to this post made just moments ago in the general forum. 

Based on the concept laid out in that post, my question is simply this... if we set the "Synchronize Transaction History" to "None" for a particular transaction (i.e. Estimates), and then we create an Estimate transaction via the API and initiate a SendToDesktop call:

A) Will that transaction post through to QuickBooks?

B) If so, if that transaction is updated in QuickBooks, and not in Method, will Method recognize the change? And vice versa? 

Hi furrywombat,

To answer your question - 

A) Yes, this transaction will flow through to QuickBooks.

B) In short - you only have the inital sync from Method to QB if your transaction history is set to 'none'.  Since you have set the transaction history to 'None', the newly created transaction will be removed from Method on the next Full Sync.  While the transaction is still in Method though, changes to the transaction in Method will not flow to QB, and changes to transaction in QB will not flow to Method.  

Jonathan, thank you for clearing this up.
