End of Day failing.

Quickbooks Desktop Point of Sale Message: 140203

I appreciate you for sharing detailed information on your concern and the solution you've been trying, @klangloi. I'll make sure to share other troubleshooting instructions to ensure to sort out the error message.

Since you get the error in all of your computers with POS, let's perform some troubleshooting steps to help you fix the error so you can get back to your business right away.

To get started, you'll have to check the Network Speed. Then create a backup then restore to different file backup files in QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale before running the verify rebuild tool.

Once done, run Verify Data utility tool. This helps find damaged transactions, lists, or SQL table structures in your company file. However, it can only find the damage it is programmed.

Here's how:

1. Make the Debug mode accessible.
   1. From the Point of Sale Help menu, select About QuickBooks Point of Sale.
   2. With the Point of Sale information window open, simultaneously press Ctrl+Alt+D+B on your keyboard.
   3. Select OK to close the information window.
2. Run the Verify utility.
   1. From the Help menu, select Debug, then Verify Data.
3. After it completes, check the validation window to verify any issues.

• • • If no errors are found and validation is successful: Close the message window. If the issue persists, continue with normal troubleshooting.
  • If an error message is returned: Use the Clean Up Company Data utility.

If the issue continues to occur, I suggest performing a clean reinstall for QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale and test in a New Windows User (Windows 10 or Windows 8/7).

Thank you for the input Joesem. This isn't happening on all computers. We only run the end of day from the server computer that hosts the quickbooks and POS files. So network speed isn't an issue as it is all being done on one computer. We have fast internet speeds. I have run the debugger(no issues), update softwares and have even update software on quickbooks, run verify data, rebuild data(no Errors). Same error for our end of day. I have even backed up both softwares and done a fresh install of both and try to run an end of day and still the same issue. We have had issue with this on and off for years. It will work fine for a while with only one or two attempts and end of day will go through. Then all of a sudden we will get this error. Try 20 plus times to get an end of day and error every time. It seems like something is running in the back ground of Quickbooks that is causing this error to happen. The current computer has 16GB of Ram and plenty of processor speed. It the past our server computer had 120GB of RAM and 4 quad for processors and we would till have this same issue every once in a while. I might be able to try the new user for the server computer but my bosses email and everything is on the user and I will have to migrate all that to a new user not connected to his Microsoft email account. 

Thanks for following up with the Community, klangloi.
