Method Community

I've put some extensive work into some custom apps.

I'm considering incorporating my business, which would mean a new quickbooks file for the new business entity and a new method account.

Is there a way to transfer a custom app or custom screens from one account to another?

Thanks!

Hey GroGreen,

Currently there is no option to copy screens between accounts in Method:New. There is currently a feature request submitted for this but unfortunately there is no ETA for it yet.

OK.

What would happen if I created a new Quickbooks account and directed Method to access the new file?

In this case, before doing so, I'd copy all of my Customers, Vendors etc. beforehand. I wouldn't transfer balances or transactions, as these wouldn't be relevant to the 'new company'.

Hey GroGreen,

I do not recommend that you sync a new QuickBooks database to your existing Method account. Even though you can copy the data between QuickBooks databases, Quickbooks will assign unique RecordID's and TransactionsID's to every transaction/record. Method uses these RecordId's and TransactionID's to match up its data to QuickBooks to sync properly. Syncing up the databases will result in data loss and/or data corruption which will result in unexpected results in Method.
