Payroll Advanced importing timesheets error

Hi so we are having a problem,

 

Went to do payroll tonight as i have done the same way for 2 years now every Friday.

 

My staff all use the Quickbooks app to log their hours and then on a Friday all i have to do is approve timesheets and new pay run importing that weeks timesheets.

 

Worked great for 2 years. Now tonight i get an error "unable to import timesheets"

 

Anyone else having this?

Thanks for your sharing your concerns in the QuickBooks Community, @Aidan_Hughes & @JJA2

 

Sometimes local internet cache files stored in the system can cause unexpected behavior in the product.

This can be the reason why you're getting the error message "unable to import timesheets". 

 

Let me share with you some basic troubleshooting steps that will help you fix this right away.

 

First, access your account using a private window and import the Timesheets from there . This mode doesn't record any activity on your local device and will help us isolate the issue. Here's how:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 
If you're able to successfully move your data in QuickBooks, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Alternatively, you can use another supported browser if the issue persists. 

 

Stay in touch if you have any other questions or concerns. I’ll be right here to answer them for you. Enjoy the rest of the day.

I tried all that in the 1 1/2 on live chat with support. 

Three different computers, two of which never used QBO, 4 different browsers, three different users.  

I think the fact that two people are having the same problem on the same day out of the blue I would think there is possibly a problem with the platform. 

I ended up doing it manually as no solution other than we will email

when it’s fixed.

Also your solution of incognito does not work for payroll advanced as you get an error “cookies disabled”

Also after clearing my caches again I can't login to community unless in incognito window I'm getting this message

Authentication ticket mismatched, failed authentication.
