Payment can't be scheduled error pop up

Welcome to the Community, @purchasing-women.

To better understand your issue, please send us a screenshot of the error message you are encountering.

A cache-related issue on your browser may be causing trouble in scheduling bill payments on QuickBooks Online (QBO). We can try some basic troubleshooting steps to determine and fix the problem's cause.

First, open a Private Window or an Incognito Window in your browser. This will allow your account to load fresh data in a clean slate. Use the following keyboard shortcuts, depending on your browser:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift +N

Once you're in the Private / Incognito Window, sign in to your QBO account and try to schedule payments again. You can return to your original browser and clear the cache if this works. Alternatively, you can use other compatible browsers if the problem persists.

Payments not scheduled

I see what you go through, Gussplumb. The "Payments not scheduled" error occurs when there's a temporary glitch or interruption in the connection. Let's rule this out by signing in to your company as an admin user using an incognito or private window. Here are some steps you can take:
 

• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Safari: Command + Option + P
• Mac: Press ⌘ + Shift + N

If it persists, I recommend reaching out to our support team. They'll check the issue and guide you through resolving it. To contact our support team, follow these steps:
