C=47

Thanks for notifying us of your concern, @brookie73. I'm here to share some troubleshooting steps to resolve error C=47 in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Before that, may I ask what specific task you performed that resulted in the error message? This way, I can check my resources for investigations that best match your condition and provide a workaround if there are any.

In the meantime, we can utilize the Verify and Rebuild tool to scan your QBDT for potential damages and repair them. Before doing so, ensure that the program is in its latest update. 

To verify your company data:

1. Go to Window and select Close All.
2. Select File, then Utilities.
3. Click Verify Data.

Here's how to rebuild:

1. Go to File, select Utilities, and then select Rebuild Data.
2. Press OK when QBDT asks to make a backup. Choose where to save it and click OK.
3. Select OK once you get the message Rebuild has completed.
   

Once done, rerun the Verify Data tool to double-check for additional damage.

Moreover, I'm adding this article that could help you whenever you run into an unrecoverable error in QBDT: Troubleshoot Unrecoverable Error XXXXX XXXXX.

How big is your file size?

thank you. It gives me the error code when I am entering an invoice for a vendor

I also verified and rebuilt and the problem still exists

I'll provide some information about the error and make sure this will be fixed Brookie.

There's an ongoing investigation about getting this C=47 error. Normally, this issue happens if you sort your bills on the Pay Bills window by reference number. Our engineers have identified this as INV-68774 and are already working to get this fixed as soon as possible.

As an alternative, you shouldn't sort the Pay Bills window by reference number and ensure to leave it on the default if a bill needs to be edited from the window.

In the meantime, I suggest reaching out to our support team so they can investigate further and double-check what's causing the issue. 

Furthermore, you may encounter and fix common errors when using QuickBooks. Make sure to get the most recent version of the Tool Hub. To know more, I've added this article for more details: Fix Common Problems And Errors With The QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.
