We are archiving certain transactions older than a year, and we get over a hundred "DeleteFromDesktop" errors per day for transactions that are in the process of being archived. The current procedure is to clear all of the false-positives, but wondering if there is a way to do this programmatically. 

Hi furrywombat,

The ountingConflicts (AccountingConflicts) table does not support modifications via the API, so this is not possible. In my experience, any DeleteFromDesktop conflicts resulting from transactions being archived are cleared up on their own once a full sync has completed. If this is not the case, I suggest getting in touch with our support team so that they can investigate. I hope this helps.

Well, it's just kind of a pain to have to sort out the DeleteFromDesktop conflicts from actual conflicts requiring attention. Would be nice if we could do a Clear All on a filtered list or checkbox selection, rather than having to click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. I'm sure it's not a priority for Method, just wanted to throw it out there.

This is already a feature on the Method New sync conflicts screen. You might want to try resolving these conflicts from there instead.

Thanks, Audisho. Quick question regarding Method New -- have you implemented custom SQL fields yet?

Hi furrywombat,

Unfortunately, not yet. You can use the expression builder for more basic things like showing multiple fields in a single column or basic math calculations, but it's certainly not as flexible as the SQL override feature in classic.

Audisho, the only thing that's preventing us from making that move is the lack of SQL override. And we've been itching to make the move. I'm sure we are not alone in this... are you guys going to be souping it up a bit? Is that why it's taking so long?

Hi furrywombat,

This is something we plan to look at in the future, but as I understand, it's a very large task. As such, I can't yet give you a timeline for when this will be available or what it will look like when it is. Sorry for the inconvenience.
