Let's run the verify and rebuild tool in your company file. The Verify tool will find the issue within your company file and the Rebuild tool will fix it.
To verify your company data in QuickBooks Desktop, follow these steps:
- Close all windows by clicking on Window and then selecting Close All.
- Click on File and select Utilities.
- Select Verify Data. After doing so, you will see one of the following messages:
- QuickBooks detected no problems with your data - This means your data is clean and you don't need to do anything else.
- An error message - If you receive an error message, search for it on the QuickBooks Desktop support site to learn how to fix it.
- Your data has lost integrity - This message indicates that data damage was found in the file. To fix it, you'll need to rebuild your data.
To rebuild your company file data, follow these steps:
- Click on File, then Utilities, and select Rebuild Data.
- QuickBooks will ask you to make a backup before rebuilding your company file. Click on OK.
- Select where you want to save your backup and click on OK. Make sure not to replace another backup file. Enter a new name in File name and Save.
- Click on OK when you see the message Rebuild has completed.
- Go back to the File menu, select Utilities then select Verify Data to check for additional damage.
- If the verify finds more damage, you'll need to fix it manually. Search for the error(s) in the qbwin.log on the QuickBooks Desktop support site for help.
- If you can't find a solution, you can restore a recent backup. Go to File, then select Open or Restore Company.
