(sorry just now seeing this post)
Yes, that email is what prompts me to manually create an invoice for the first consult package sale in MDS. There is now a report for packages but the sale doesn’t show in the project history of invoices. I like to see when the consult date was and how long to the design service sale and to the product sales, etc and all the $$$ 🙂
Pretty much the only package I sell in MDS (and that I WANT to take cc for) is my consult so it’s fast to just manually create it in MDS, mark as paid and push to QBO. (If the invoice total is over 5K I prefer check)
I used to just create the package inv in QBO but the push of that initial small sale also tidily creates the client in QBO too 🙂
I use MDS to create the invoice and then mark it as paid so I can push to QBO. That push creates both an invoice and a payment to “Undeposited” in QBO. I open the invoice in QBO and delete that payment. I email the invoice to my client from QBO as I have it set up to only accept transfers, no cc’s. I also unmark the invoice as paid in MDS so I don’t order goods until I confirm the deposit is in the bank.
We need both tools to know what’s what where 🙂
