Thank you so much for the video, that was so cool.

However I got the following error messages. I really don't understand why everything has been fine until recently. 

What have I done/changed to make it not export journal to quickbooks. :-(

Hi there, Lulu83.

 

Let’s try running the process again on a private window to check if this has something to do with the browser. Here’s how:


a. For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
b. For Internet Explorer or Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
c. For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N. 


If it works fine, I’d recommend clearing your browser’s cache or use a different one. The overloaded files in your browser can sometimes cause unusual behaviors in the program. 
Though, if you continue to experience the error, I’d be best to reach out to our support team:

  1. Click Help at the top. 
  2. Select Contact us. 
  3. Give a brief explanation about your concern. 
  4. Click Let’s talk. 
  5. Select Get a callback. 

You’re always welcome to visit us again if you have other concerns about QuickBooks.

I went through speaking with support then they moved the conversation to emails. When I replied the emails continually bounced back stating the support ticket was closed. So basically no support. 

I’d really just prefer an explanation and solution is posted here.

I'm also having this problem. Started back in March and still isn't fixed.

Spent oven an hour on the phone to Ken at Quickbooks and still no idea. He was supposed to call me back and never did.

Spent another half hour on the phone to Jo who said I would get a response within 48 hours... still waiting.

Can we please have a fix please? Ken seemed to think it was a code issue and nothing to do with my actual account.

Please help. I just need an accurate profit and loss report.

I understand the need to get this issue fixed promptly, @JenJoy. I'm here to share the updates about this, and how to take care of it. This way, you'll have an accurate Profit and Loss (P&L) report in QuickBooks Online (QBO).  

 

I've checked my resources about the investigation (INV-44321), and it's still in progress. I assure you that our payroll engineers are actively working to get this issue resolved timely.

 

I can see that you've previously contacted our support team. With this, please know you'll receive email updates about its status and fix. 

 

In the meantime, you can perform the two tasks below to help isolate the issue. 

  • Make sure that all default fields are entered for journals to be exported. Just go to the Payroll Settings tab. Then, complete the payroll chart of accounts
  • Ensure you're using QuickBooks to access employee data. That way, you'll be able to export your journals. 

 

Once resolved, I recommend customising your P&L report in the software. Doing so will help you get the specific details you need for your business. For more information, see Step 2 through this article: Customise Reports

 

Please know that you can count on me if you need anything else. Take care always, @JenJoy.

 

Thanks, 

 

Raymond
