Hello @jayantsr,

 

The error message you received is related to the information sent by your application provider and QuickBooks is unable to recognize it. Let me share some information and guide where you can contact to resolve this error message.

 

To start with, it is with the special characters or field that has more characters than what QuickBooks can support. To learn more about this error message, here a link you can visit for reference: Fix common Web Connector errors in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

With this, I'd recommend contacting the support of your application provider. From there, let them know about the error message so a specialist can help and guide you on how to resolve it.

 

Lastly, I've also included this helpful article for ideas in case you're in need to start using other versions of web connectors you can use: Set up QuickBooks Web Connector.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with, let me know in the comments. I'll be here to lend a hand.

    Same issue but with ReceivePaymentAddRq and everything looks 100% perfect but seems to come back as XML text stream error.

     

    Here is the Example that was used.

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <?qbxml version="15.0"?>
    <QBXML>
    <QBXMLMsgsRq onError="continueOnError">
    <ReceivePaymentAddRq>
    <ReceivePaymentAdd>
    <CustomerRef>
    <ListID>8000063C-1513293544</ListID>
    <FullName>Jon & Don's Handmade Yummies</FullName>
    </CustomerRef>
    <TxnDate>2022-06-17</TxnDate>
    <RefNumber>528462CDF-E404F42A-F</RefNumber>
    <TotalAmount>507.70</TotalAmount>
    <PaymentMethodRef>
    <ListID>40000-1115828238</ListID>
    <FullName>Visa</FullName>
    </PaymentMethodRef>
    <Memo></Memo>
    <AppliedToTxnAdd>
    <TxnID>2FFC56-1654203834</TxnID>
    <PaymentAmount>507.70</PaymentAmount>
    </AppliedToTxnAdd>
    </ReceivePaymentAdd>
    </ReceivePaymentAddRq>
    </QBXMLMsgsRq>
    </QBXML>

     

    Everything seems to be perfect and should have recorded the payment directly to the invoice...

    Let me guide you on how get in touch with them. They can help send a ReceivePaymentAddRq request to create a payment for an invoice in QuickBooks. 

     

    Here's how to contact them.
