Has any one else dealt with the error status code 3181 pr qb non-inventory issue code 140114?

I've purged and did a company file clean up to only have a a few years of history. I've deleted vendors, customers, and item numbers from the inventory that were zerod out. And i'm still getting these errors when I do a financial update to quickbooks pro accounting. Any suggestions? PLease and thank you.

Unfortunately guys you are completely wrong. Error code 3181 and error code 140014, are both associated with sales taxes. I found this out the extreme hard way. Ok so when this occurs is when you do a financial update of any kind, bought stuff and uploading and receiving your P O to pay for it on the other end where quickbooks accounting is at so you can assign it a check, and when you do it stops with these error codes. What the problem is, you need to go in the accounting side and delete your tax codes. This was my issue, I had I think 7? And this happened when I was tinkering on the account side and exploring it. I didnt think it would matter because the % was the same on both. NOOPE that messed up everything. So I deleted about 5 of the sales tax codes on the accounting side. After I did that, i went to the pos side and saw if it was still there the others. I deleted them from both sides, and once I did that it cleared out the issue completely. I was able to update with out issue or errors or anything. Initially I thought the error meant I maxed out the inventory item list, because thats what it seemed to say on the error. Nope it was the tax bracket.. CHeers!

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot the issue. This error happens when you're using the QuickBooks Desktop version. I'm here to help you sort this out. liquor2005.

Error code 3181 means you've reached the items in your QuickBooks version, while error code 140014 indicates QuickBooks POS cannot access the QuickBooks company file and has issues with syncing.

Since you're still getting the 3181 error after purging your company file and even deleting some of your data, you can use the Verify and Rebuild Data tool to fix this issue. This identifies the most common issues and helps rebuild your file to resolve the error.

To verify, follow the steps provided below:

Go to Window, then select Close All.
Go to File, then select Utilities.
Select Verify Data.

To rebuild data:

Navigate to File, then select Utilities, and then choose Rebuild Data.
QuickBooks will prompt you to create a backup of your company file before proceeding. Click OK. A backup is required before you can rebuild.
Choose a location to save your backup and click OK. Don’t replace another backup file. Ensure you don’t overwrite an existing backup; instead, enter a unique name in the File name field and select Save.
Select OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.
Go to File, select Utilities, then select Verify Data again to check for additional damage

On the other hand, you can also download and install the QuickBooks Tool Hub to resolve the 140014 error when using QuickBooks Desktop in Windows. This will help with your file access and connectivity issues. Here's how:

Close QuickBooks.
Download the most recent version (1.6.0.8) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop). Note: If you've previously installed Tool Hub, you can find out which version you have by selecting the Home tab. The version will be at the bottom.
Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
When the installation finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
