This article provides detailed solutions for
resolving QuickBooks synchronization errors. It outlines common issues
encountered when interfacing with QuickBooks and offers step-by-step guidance
to troubleshoot and correct these errors effectively.
Step by Step:
Step 1: Transaction Split Line Error to A/P.
Summary: Users receive an error stating
"Transaction split line to A/P must include a vendor on that split
line" when trying to voucher receiving's in QuickBooks.
Cause: This error occurs when the Accounts
Payable (A/P) account in QuickBooks is not correctly defined.
Solution: Ensure the A/P account in
QuickBooks is set to a "Type" of "Other Current Liability"
instead of "Accounts Payable."
Step 2: Invalid Transaction Error.
Summary: The error "Can't Record Invalid
Transaction" occurs during the vouchering process in QuickBooks.
Cause: Problems with the setup of Accounts
Payable, Receiving's Accrual accounts in QuickBooks, or incorrect vendor
information in the IIF file can trigger this error.
Solution: Verify that vendors in the IIF
file are listed in QuickBooks' Vendor List. Check the Receiving's Accrual
account and A/P account settings in QuickBooks as described for accurate setup.
Step 3: QuickBooks Direct Interface Connection Issue.
Summary: The "Could Not Start QuickBooks"
error message appears when testing the QuickBooks Direct Interface connection.
Cause: Typically, this indicates an issue
with the System data path setup.
Solution: The System data path should direct
to the QuickBooks directory, and the QuickBooks database (.QBW file) must be
correctly entered in the Database or ODBC name field, including the file
extension.**
Step 4: QuickBooks Company Datafile Error.
Summary: Error "QuickBooks company datafile is
already opened and is different from the one requested" occurs when
interfacing with QuickBooks.
Cause: QuickBooks is already in use with a
different company file open.
Solution: Close all QuickBooks instances and
retry the operation.
Step 6: Modifying Transactions Before Closing
Date.
Solutions:
Change the Closing
Date: Adjust the closing date in QuickBooks to after the date of the
transaction causing the issue.
Remove Password
Restrictions: Temporarily remove closing date password restrictions, perform
necessary transactions, and reapply the password.
Change Transaction
Period: For Projector transactions, change the accounting period to an open
period in QuickBooks if feasible.
