Hi I use QuickBooks desktop. For several years now I run into an error every month. When I do a backup after reconciling my accounts I always get a bunch of errors. The error text generally looks like this.

Error: Verify Target: Invalid sibling name. Rcrd = 165378. Ref = 8
Details: Type: deposit, Transaction: Txn # 25453 on 10/27/2021, doc#:'', PO#:'', last edited by '', Distrib , accnt: Undeposited Funds , $: -5,055.32 , Customer name: Countryside Farms

I have attached a screenshot of the actual transaction for reference
