Glitch with new update

I am struggling to get through another glitch with the new QuickBooks online app update that was released. I am trying to create an estimate, but it will not allow me and it says “something went wrong” with the following message: 

 

You must specify a different number. This number has already been used.

DocNumber=1995 is assigned to

TxnType=Estimate with Txnld=157761

Glitch with new update

I'll ensure you can create an estimate without this error showing, @Jpenney53.

 

The document number you're trying to use is assigned to an existing estimate. That said, we need to use a different document number for the new estimate you're trying to create.

 

However, after confirming that the number has changed and the issue persists, I recommend performing the troubleshooting steps.

 

Here’s how:

 

iOS

  1. Go to Menu ☰ and tap Help & Feedback.
  2. Tap Refresh Data
  3. A message will appear that says, Caution. If there was a problem getting your latest QuickBooks Online data, you can refresh it now. It may take a few minutes. 
  4. Tap Refresh to confirm.

 

Android

  1. Go to Menu ☰ then tap More Options ⋮.
  2. Tap Settings, then Refresh Data.
  3. Tap YES to confirm.

 

Once done, you can close and reopen the mobile app and create an estimate. Also, I suggest restarting your phone. If you continue to get the same result, uninstall and reinstall the application to start fresh.
