Attachments in QBO App stopped working

Hello,

 

We noticed several weeks ago that our attachments (all attachments to bills/invoices/vendor profiles etc.) no longer will open in the QBO App. We get an window that pops up and says the following (note i removed some of the coding brackets so this would post)...

 

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
 
DocumentErrorResponse xmlns="http://schema.intuit.com/platform/document/v2"
codeINVALID_AUTHORIZATION/code
typeCLIENT/type
messageAuthorization header is missing/message
/DocumentErrorResponse"
 
We assumed it was some sort of bug from an update but it has been several weeks and not corrected itself. Can you help with how to fix this? The attachments seem to open in the browser web based QBO, but not in the APP which we all use.

I still have this issue and it's been quite some time with multiple updates. Has there been a resolution?

No, our apps still are not functioning in regard to viewing attachments. However, you can somewhat work around it by logging in directly to the QBO web browser version rather than the QBO app. The web based version seems to work, only the app seems to be causing the issue. Still waiting on a fix!

Hi there, terri.

 

My colleague above is correct about the ongoing issue of viewing attachments in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I understand how everyone wanted this to get fixed right now.

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Click the Help button.
  3. In the QuickBooks Assistance chat box, select Talk to a human and or tap the Contact Us button at the bottom.
  4. Then, type in your reason for contacting us in the What can we help you with? Box and click Continue.
  5. From there, choose a way to connect with us; either to Chat with us, get a Callback, or call our support line directly by getting our Phone number.

I am unable to retrieve documents attached to my checks via the QBO Windows App.  I am getting the following error message:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<DocumentErrorResponse xmlns="http://schema.intuit.com/platform/document/v2">
<code>INVALID_AUTHORIZATION</code>
<type>CLIENT</type>
<message>Authorization header is missing</message>
</DocumentErrorResponse>
 
Called QBO support was instructed to delete the app and reinstall.  That solved the problem until the next time I logged in.  The app updated and the error is back. 
 
Please help.
