As of a few days ago when trying to upload receipts to a transaction I get a message stating: Upload Error, we are unable to upload your receipt please try later.

 

I'm using the QB self employed app on an Iphone

 

Desk top does works but it is not practical to email every receipt to my laptop to have to upload to QB

Let's get rid of the error when uploading receipts in QuickBooks, Dykie.

 

There are times when a browser's cache data becomes full of frequently accessed pages or damaged. When this happens, pages like accessing your report don't load properly.

 

As an initial step, let's access QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) using a private or incognito window. Kindly use either of the following shortcut keys:
 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P

If you can upload receipts without error, proceed to delete your browsing history to clear out the cache or data that's causing the issue. Use this article as a guide: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. Otherwise, try using a different browser to be more thorough.

 

Here's how to manually attach the receipt in case you need a reference:

  1. Sign in to your QBSE account using a browser.
  2. Go to the Transaction menu and select Add Transaction.
  3. Fill in the necessary details, then drag/drop or browse your receipt.
  4. Click Save when done.

 

You can look this up if you need help with your categories: Categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Hi Dykie, thanks for getting back to us, to troubleshoot the issue, can I check if this happens both on Wi-Fi connection and when using 4G on your mobile? 📱

Hello Dykie, We've raised this up to senior technicians, we just need to query first if you have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and if so does it do the same thing? Thank you.

Hi - yes I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the app but the same issue persists.

I’ve also logged out/in but still does not work - very frustrating and at the moment QB is not being used accurately and effectively for my accounts.

Hi Dykie,

 

I know what it feels like when one is having challenges contacting the support of the product they have subscribed to. I’ll share another way to connect to our Chat team via Facebook messenger, so they can check this issue further.

 

  1. Click on this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-uk?product=QuickBooks%20Self-Employed.
  2. Scroll down to the Need to get in touch? section and click Contact us.
  3. Select QuickBooks Self-Employed
  4. Click the message hypertext.

 

Our main support for QBSE is Chat, which is an easier way to share screenshots about any issues. For this reason, we don't have phone numbers online, but you can request a callback once you are connected to the Chat team.

 

There's always a solution for everything. Receipt forwarding works in the desktop interface as you said, so the team will only need a few more details to find out why the Receipt capturing doesn’t work on your mobile phone.

 

Technologies keep on updating, so if there are challenges along the way, just seek help. The Community, Chat, and Phone teams are here for you. Take care!


Thank you so much Jess T for your prompt response.  I have used the link you sent and sent a message and photo via the messenger route. Hopefully a solution can be sorted. 
thanks again
