I am getting the attached error when trying to update some employees PTO level. When I choose a different PTO level, enter their balance and try to save I get an Error 8901017. This is happening every 5 employees or so and I have about 130 to update because we have changed our PTO policies this year. Looking for a way around this error so I can update these employee PTO levels.
Let's fix the error you're having when trying to update your employee information, @TerraLandscape.
The error you're having when trying to employee information can be caused by the piled-up cache in your regular browser. It stores temporary internet files from your browsing history. As it collects too many files, it can cause some issues in your account.
I've got some steps to help fix this issue. First, sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account using a private browser. This helps isolate the issue since it doesn’t store data in the cache.
Here are the following keyboard shortcuts:
If it works, here's how to clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. Restart your browser right after. You can also try to check with other supported browsers (Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge) if the steps above don't work.
Here's more information about setting up and track time off, vacation, and sick pay for your employees: Set up and track time off in payroll.
Let me know if you need more help updating your employee information. I'm always here to help. Have a wonderful day!
I have tried clearing my cache (I use Google Chrome). The error still occurs. I then tried incognito mode and the error still occurs. The error occurs when I try to choose a specific PTO level - any employee that I try to choose this level, gets the same error. Other PTO levels work fine with no error.
