Suddenly getting the same error when I go to send an invoice.

I can help you in creating and sending an invoice, PML1.

 

Currently, we don't have any issue or investigation on creating and sending an invoice. We can perform basic troubleshooting steps to check if this is a browser related issue. To start with, open a private browser and process the invoice from there. It will not save browsing history and cache. If it works fine, go back to the regular browser and clear the cache. Too much cache can cause unusual browser behavior.

 

Also, you can use a different supported browser like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox.

 

Get back to me any time if you have any more questions I can help.

Just wanted to touch base and say I'm having the same issue: will go through the steps above now.

I switched browsers and the problem went away as well.

I'm getting the same problem - never been an issue before.  Was working fine a month ago.  Am using google chrome.

I'd like to know how you got this error message, LorraineH.

 

Can you tell me what you were doing in QBO prior to getting this message? I've tried accessing my QBO account on different browsers and they all work just fine. If you haven't followed the browser troubleshooting steps shared by my colleague @AlexV above, I'd suggest giving them a try. Other users have reported that clearing the cache worked.

 

If you're still getting the same issue, it would be best to call us. We can do more solutions to rule out the issue and get you back on track.

 

To get our contact number, click the Help icon in the upper right-hand corner. From there, click the Contact Us link and enter your concern in the description box.

 

I'll be around if you need anything else.

I too am getting this error message.  It comes when trying to save an invoice only in the Quickbooks Online Desktop App (Win 10 Pro) .  If I haven't had the invoice open long, the "Online Payments" section at the top does not load with the rest of the page.  It takes up to a full two minutes occasionally.  Once that section loads, I can save the invoice normally.

Hello, @Travis23.

 

I'll help ensure you'll be able to work with your invoices seamlessly.

 

This error is usually caused by a system delay in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to recognize the recent update. I'm here to share some troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

 

First is to refresh or clear your QBO app.

 

  1. Click Help on the navigation bar at the top.
  2. Select Reset App Data.
  3. Allow a moment for the process to complete, and then close the app.
  4. Be sure to right-click the app and Run as Administrator when re-opening.

If you're getting the same experience, I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the application.

 

For further guidance, you may check this article: QuickBooks App for Windows and Mac: General support.

 

I'm also attaching this article in case you have any other QuickBooks concerns in the future: Help articles for QuickBooks Online.

 

Keep posted if you have any other QuickBooks or invoices questions. I'll be always here to help!

I appreciate you taking the time to bring this recurring error to our attention, @Erika Du Maresq,

 

Unexpected behaviors in QuickBooks Online can be brought about by problems in the web pages. Have you tried opening your account in private browsing and see if it's still showing the same behavior?

 

This method prevents cookies from being stored on your computer, making it a great place to identify browser problems.

 

Use any of these keyboard shortcuts depending on the browser you're using:

 

Google Chrome: press Ctrl Shift N  
Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl Shift P
Internet Explorer: press Ctrl Shift P
Safari: press Command Shift N

 

If it works, clear the browser's cache. This removes the history or log files so you can start with a clean slate.

 

However, if you already tried this and still getting the same odd behavior when cutting checks, I highly recommend contacting our Support Team. You can report the problem to our representatives so they create an investigation under your account. Our engineers can run some diagnostics to fix the problem as soon as possible.

 

Here's how to get Support:

 

  1. Click the (?) Help menu at the top right section of your QBO Dashboard.
  2. Tap the Contact us button.

 

Let me know the result once you've tried the steps. I want to make sure you're able to work with QuickBooks without any issues. If this requires additional help, let me know by clicking the Reply button below. I'd be happy to help at any time. Have a lovely week ahead!

CLEAR CACHE AND COOKIES FROM YOUR WEB BROWSER AND IT SHOULD WORK.  WORKED FOR ME ON MY MAC USING SAFARI.

I am now getting this message out of the blue. I cleared cookies and cache, no change. I tried new browser as well. I also checked my merchant account and it looks normal. What am i supposed to do?

 It's great that you've cleared your browser's cache and tried a new browser to narrow down the result.

From there, they can conduct a thorough investigation and expedite a resolution for this concern.

 

Once everything works well, you're ready to manage your merchant entries as usual.
