Recently when I have snapped a receipt and try create an expense form, it comes up with an error message which says validation failed. QuickBooks encountered an error?

I have updated app, deleted and reloaded app, still get it!

Yeah have never had a problem before but for the last two weeks I get the error msg. I’m using an iPhone and have the accounting app.

I’m having the same issue, I last used the app on July 1st to enter receipts and now I’m getting the validation failed msg as well.

I’ve also deleted the app, restarted my phone (iPhone) and redownloaded app. Still getting the error msg.

I notice that when I take a photo of my receipt through the app it doesn’t highlight the receipt and automatically take the photo like it used to but still inputs the receipt information correctly.
