Deactivating Accounts Code 400 Error

We are trying to clean up our accounts in the chart of accounts list and each time I try to deactivate one it comes up with the following error:

These accounts weren't deactivated:

  • Furniture Assembly Request failed with status code 400

o I have cleared my cache, check to see if any were tied to any recurring transactions and made sure there are no balances in the ones I want to deactivate.  Can someone please advise? thank you!

Deactivating Accounts Code 400 Error

I appreciate your efforts, @LeeAbe. I would like to share an update about the error you encountered while deactivating accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

When deactivating accounts, the prompt will indicate if the accounts don’t meet the deactivation requirements. If there is a non-zero balance, the account is not a default account in the Chart of Accounts, and it is not part of an automated workflow, we can proceed with the following additional information.

 

Currently, we are investigating the issue (INV-115496) you encountered while deactivating accounts in QBO. Rest assured, our engineers are working diligently to resolve it and get your business up and running again.
