Method Community

Hi Team,

Can you enter inventory items directly into Method, or do they have to be uploaded into the table?  Our client does not want anyone to have access to their QB file, so entering items through QB is not possible. 

If they can be entered directly (without going through purchase orders) can someone tell me how?

Thanks! 

Hi Laura,

Assuming that you are referring to a scenario where your client is trying to enter inventory or non-inventory items, this is possible in the "home" screen under the items tab link. To add an inventory item, below the existing items grid screen hit the new... button. This, of course, means your client does not require access to the QB databse, as they can do this directly through method. If you are referring to something different, kindly provide further details on what your client is trying to accomplish, but I hope this addresses your question.

Regards,
Denis

Denis, thank you.  I thought it was a simple enough question, but was unable to find the answer anywhere in the User Guides or in the Forums.

Thanks for the reply!

I have this same question however I don't see the 'home' screen or the 'items' tab - where should I be looking?

OK I think I found it. How does the cost of the item get entered?

If we're looking at the same screen then the cost of the item is entered on the new item screen.  From the QuickBooks tab group click Lists > Items then click the New... button.  From this screen (depending on the item) you should be able to enter the details of your new item including the cost.
