Project Problem

Hi.

As a design engineer I fully rely on the project feature in QB. I have crated 2 new projects today (a real one and a test one) and am not able to add ANYTHING to either of them. I have tried in Google  Chrome & Opera. Each time I try to add something such as time I receive the following Error

 

Sorry, an unexpected error has occurred. Please try again.

 

I am able to add time to existing projects though

 

Pleas help.. I need to send an invoice..

Project Problem

It's nice to see you again in the Community, @TimBob

 

Let's create the transaction under the project again using a private window. This way we can check if you're having a browser-related problem.

 

Here's how to use an incognito depending on the browser you have:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N.

If it works, you may go back to your regular browser and clear your cache.

 

However, if you get the same error, I'd recommend contacting our Online Support. They can check this further using their tools in a secure environment. 

 

In the meantime, you can create an invoice transaction using the Create button.  Then enter the project name on the Customer field. Please see attached screenshot below.

You can reach out again if you have other questions. I'll be here ready to help. Have a great day!

Project Problem

I tried private browsing in 3 browsers, Chrome, Opera & Safari... unfortunately neither helped.

 

I will have to go back to using standard invoicing until there is a fix for this.. not a massive problem,, but not as tidy as it cold be...

 

Interestingly I have noticed another project bug has been fixed... and I wonder of there is a correlation?  The bug ?I think has been fixed is that when I add a new project it is instantly available in my project list, I used to have to log out, close my browner, open a new browser and log back in again... Perhaps one fix has broken something else?

Project Problem

Hello,

 

I've had the same problem today, I created 2 projects both of which I have been unable to add estimates, time etc.  I've signed out and back in several times but to no joy.

 

I have also had the same problem for months whereby when I create a project I have to refresh the web page or sign out and back in for the system to recognise the project I created.  Is there a problem on your system?  I also tried to clicking the help option but that's not responding either!

 

I need to move forward with this and invoice customers today.  Can you please advise a.s.a.p.

 

Thank you
