I am practicing invoicing for the first time.

1- I created some invoices and none of the invoices calculated the sales tax, is this because there are set to wait to sync?

I have to sync first and then print them.?

2-When you delete an invoice the services in that invoice do they goe back to "to be invoiced" ?

3- How do you delete several invoices at once?

4- I had some customization done by you guys, a check box in the job item line called "on contract" so when is check the invoices would show $0 for that item.

When I do invoices this is not working, the price shows in the invoice even know that the "on contract" box is checked.

How will I get help with this issue?

It does not calculate the sales tax for me, only after I send the invoices to QB.

Hi Marcelo,

Can you test out the stock QuickBooks_Invoice screen as well? You can test out the stock screen by going to Customize > Screens > search for QuickBooks_Invoice > highlight the mouse over the name then click View on the left side of it.

If it works on this screen, then the problem is definetly caused by customization within Method.

how do I test it?

I did what you said and then selected one of the invoices that dont have the tax on it, and it does the same.

Do I have to generete a new invoice from that screen??

Hi Marcelo, 

If I select taxable both screens work fine.

The problem is when I create a batch invoice that the tax item does not comes from QB.

In QB I have most of my clients with tax, and a small amount non taxable, but in method all the customers have that tax item dropdown empty.

If I create a single invoice , as soon as I select the customer the tax item box will auto fill, but if I invoice at the end of the month for several customers the tax item box will stay empty.

I really need help with this, I have been trying method for a year now, and have not be able to use it in real data yet.

Hey Marcelo,

Yes from the invoice screen works fine, but I genereate my invoices from the work order list screen, I select the services that I want to invoice and then I ckick on more actions and invoice selected.

And the invoices are genereted but it does not calculate the tax amounts.

Please help.

Hello Marcelo,

I have tested creating invoices in your account on your stock Work Order List screen, and it works fine. Please try again. When you click "Invoice Selected", uncheck the "Set to wait for sync approval". The reason why you didn't see the tax getting calculated automatically is because the invoice is required to be sent to quickbooks in order have the tax calculated. If you had the "Set to wait for sync approval" checked, then the invoice would not have gotten sent to quickbooks instantly, hence you couldn't see the tax being calculated instantly.

If you look at the first post that was my origional question, I would like to print the invoices before they get syncronized, is this hard to costomized?

Hey Marcelo,

Unfortunately, the invoice needs to by synced to QB for your tax item field to auto-populate. If you have the "Wait for Sync Approval" checked, manually select the tax item, click "Save" and then click on "Print Preview.
