    Method to Quickbooks Sync Issue

    When we make certain changes to existing transactions in Method (in particular changes to existing journal entries), the changes save in Method, but they won't sync with Quickbooks, and I'm not getting a conflict/error message in the "Resolve Conflicts" screen.  However, I do get the following error message, but I'm not sure if the two issues are related:

     

    Error: Column 'IsAmountsEnteredInHomeCurrencyAdjustment' does not belong to table Table

     

    This client uses the multiple currency feature in QB Enterprise 2012.

    Can anyone help me out here?

    Thanks, Sean

    Answer

    Sean -

    You should be good to go now.  We have hotfixed the site.

    It was a typo in the server code for JournalEntry syncing with multi-currency turned on.  It should have been "IsAmountsEnteredInHomeCurrency" in our code, rather than "IsAmountsEnteredInHomeCurrencyAdjustment".

    Re: Method to Quickbooks Sync Issue

    Paul, I'm still having issues with this.  The error message isn't showing up anymore, but when I make changes to the existing transactions, updates are still not being made in QuickBooks.

    I tried doing a full sync in addition to a changes only sync, and nothing is happening.  I'm wondering if I'll continue to have issues unless I wipe the slate clean by syncing the QB file with a new Method account.

    Is there a way to do this so I can sync from scratch?

    Thanks.

    Re: Method to Quickbooks Sync Issue

    Sounds completely unrelated to your original question.

    What kind of existing transactions are you modifying?

    Are there any messages coming up in the actual sync engine activity log on your desktop?

    Re: Method to Quickbooks Sync Issue

    Paul, I'm trying to modify journal entry lines via a loop.  It loops just fine and updates the record in Method, and they show that they have been modified in the Method audit history, but nothing gets pushed to QuickBooks and i'm not getting any conflicts or other error messages in Method or on the Desktop.

    Just to test it out, I created a journal entry from scratch in Method and that pushed to Quickbooks just fine.

    I'm wondering if because the journal entries that transferred with the initial sync had the wrong field name in the JournalEntryLine table, as you noted above, if that would corrupt the syncing for those transactions.

    Modifying the JournalEntryLine would NOT send the tranaction to QuickBooks.  

    Modifying the JournalEntry WOULD send the transaction to QuickBooks.

    After you are finished editing all your JournalEntryLine records, call the SendToDesktop action for the JournalEntry and that will tell Method "hey I'm doing making all the modifications to the line items, go ahead and post it".

    Re: Method to Quickbooks Sync Issue

    Thanks Paul, this makes sense.  I've looked around quite a bit but I can't find any decent examples of how to properly use the "Send to Desktop" action via a loop when working with both transaction and detail tables.  Here's what I have right now, but I'm a little unclear as to the placement and configuration of the Send to Desktop action.

    Order Action Notes Move
    Start Loop Through Grid Start loop through checked rows of JournalEntryLin... Move         
      Retrieve Value From Table Copy Account Name and store as AccountName_AR Move         
      Character Function Join text to AccountName_AR Move         
      Update Field In Table Copy AccountName_AR to Class field Move         
      Send to Desktop Move         
    End Loop Through Grid End Loop Move         
    Refresh Grid Refresh Grid Move

    voltaire-

    What I would do is add an action to assign JournalEntryRecordID from Row to an action result, and then use that in the Send To Desktop action. JournalEntryRecordID refers to the RecordID of the Journal Entry that the Journal Entry Line is associated with.

    The Sent to Desktop would look something like this:

    Table Name: JournalEntry
    Locate Record ID: Action Result
    resultJournalEntryRecordID

    Paul and Michael, thank you.  Works like a charm.
