Hello, @bobbymc.

 

Let me share some alternative solutions to help you create invoices from billable time and expenses.

 

To identify if the issue is related to your browser, we suggest performing some troubleshooting steps. Sometimes, older or corrupted caching files can cause problems in your web browser. To begin, please open an incognito window on your QBO account. Depending on your browser type, you may refer to the keyboard shortcuts provided below:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

When this works, you may proceed to clear the browser's cache. This removes its stored cache to ensure the program performs efficiently. I recommend using another supported browser or device if you still encounter the same error.

 

For future reference, if you need help with the save function or magnifying glass, please refer to these articles.

 

 

If you have updates about the issue you've encountered or questions about creating an invoice. You can comment below, and we'll respond to you as soon as possible. Take care!

Same for me.  Small business, I need to get billable time invoiced as I paid my employees

Quick update to the post. Although I'm still getting the error. If I manually create an invoice, I can select a customer and add billable line items manually. Not ideal, but it gets invoices out the door!
