Hi Steve,
If you’ve set the price levels and create the invoice in QuickBooks, then Method should reflect the proper adjustments when you view the invoice. The problem seems to be creating the invoice with price levels in Method because the default invoice template does not currently accommodate for this and it may still use the default item price. With that being said, you always have the option to customize and build this feature in. Great post, we’ll take this into consideration.
Hope that helps,

Steve submitted a question:
"Thanks for the info. I built it in already. The only thing is when I created a new field to populate the new numbers they are all .0000 intstad of .00. Any ideas how to truncate or round this up?"
Steve,
A field designated as Money will have a special data type of currency assigned to the field that will hold 4 decimal places. This value cannot be changed. However, the display for the information can be changed and you should see this reflected early next week. At that time you should be able to modify the decimal places and set this to .00 format.
Thanks Steve!

We have the same issue that Steve mentioned over a year ago -- Sales Orders created in Method are not looking up the Customer:Price Level and assigning the correct price to items listed on the Sales Order. The Customer record / Additional Info *shows* all our price levels, and shows the correct Price Level selected and set for this Customer, but Method is pulling from the default pricing table.
We want to be able to use Method to add Sales Orders, but this is pretty critical, as we sell through multiple channels and have a dozen active price levels that are Customer-specific.
What next?

Hi Lee,
Similar to Invoices the Sales Orders template and other areas in Method are not currently set to handle price levels by default. The price level field is available and can be used in customization to mimic the same results as QuickBooks.

Valbon - I do not fully understand your reply. Do you mean to say that Method will recognize and report the values contained in the Price Level field (since they show up on the pull-down), but it won't apply them in any way?
And that if I want to have the Price Levels table control the pricing charged for a Customer's items, I have to either a) customize the Sales Order and Invoice screens in some way, or b) hire Method to customize those functions 'behind the screens'?

Yes, you seem to have a good understanding of how it works.

I see.
So the fact that the SDK will support such functionality, but I have to have my system customized in order to take advantage of it, indicates that it was a business decision on Method's part not to include it in the CRM package. (I presume that there's no difference between the CRM and Full Blown editions in this regard, but please do correct me if I'm wrong on that.)
I seem to also have a good understanding of your business model: you've figured out how to *rent* the razor and charge for the blades.

So noted.
With a system like yours, I'm sure there's an unlimited number of possible functions that one user or another would wish was pre-installed, rather than available-by-customizing. The 'fault line' probably runs between those of us who want to make the system do what we need it to do ("hey, I get to customize it!"), and those of us who just want to use it to do our real jobs ("Ugh, I've got to customize it."). Pity for those of us who own both roles, I guess - we'll just never be satisfied...
