Quickbooks Desktop incorporate Acct Changes button does nothin

we have quickbooks desktop latest updates version (as of last week).

We received our accountants changes file. 

When we choose the file to incorporate changes we get the summary pop up window.

 

At the bottom there is the button that says incorporate changes. 

When we click the button nothings happens. 

 

No errors, no pops...literally nothing happens. 

 

What is going on? Is this a bug in the latest update?

Hello, rookie99. 

 

I've checked here on my end and found that there are no reported cases or ongoing investigations about this issue. 

 

Let's utilize the Verify and Rebuild Data tool that helps identify and repairs data issues within your company file.

 

To start, use the verify tool to scan your company file for errors or damage: 

 

  1. Go to the File menu.
  2. Choose Utilities
  3. Pick Verify Data.
  4. Click OK to close all windows. 

 

If you see the message “Your data has failed the integrity check”, rebuild your company file. If there are no problems with your data, you’re done.

 

To rebuild your data: 

 

  1. Go to the File menu.
  2. Choose Utilities
  3. Pick Rebuild Data.
  4. Click OK to close all windows. 
  5. QuickBooks will ask to make a backup before rebuilding your company file, select OK. If you don’t want to do a backup, select Cancel to continue rebuilding your company file.
  6. Press OK when done.

 

For more details about the Verify/Rebuild process, check this article: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop

 

Please let me know if you need further assistance fixing the problem. The Community and I will be here to help you. Have a great day!

I did that and it didnt find issues.

 

Another note, the window that shows the summary of accountant changes has 5 buttons at the bottom.

 

The save ans print buttons work.

 

The incorporate accountant changes , Close and Help buttons do not work.

 

This looks like a definite sw issue with your javascript or display.

 

I have windows 11 and quickbooks ver 30.0.4015.0

 

Thanks

I am having the same issue with QB 2022 using Windows 10 Pro.  I have tried the Rebuild file and it does not resolve the issue.

I am having the same issue. Rebuilding the file did not resolve the issue. Only the print button works. I have Windows 10 Pro.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, @rookie99.

 

I'm here to help you fix the error in importing your Incorporate Accountant changes file to QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

When the Accountant's Copy limitation lifts, there is potential data damage on the company file, and errors and unexpected results can occur when importing the Accountant's Changes. Check out more about the various errors, their causes, and the suitable corrections for each.

 

I recommend checking different scenarios and errors with the appropriate troubleshooting for each.

 

Also, update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release to ensure you have all the essential upgrades the program requires.

I'm having the exact same issues.  Our company file passed the data integrity check and I even restored to an older file and had our accountant send another copy and it's doing the exact same thing... which is absolutely nothing.

Actually, no i have not posted another post. That is another person reporting the same issue. There is something wrong in the software.  

 

I dont think you understand what we are reporting. Its has nothing to do with the accountant changes button via the file menu. 

 

 

It happens  AFTER you click incorporate changes, either choosing file or via web option. And then after the new screen shows the summary of changes there is no way to finalize the changes.  The buttons dont react.

 

 

In the mean time we have manually entered all the changes via journal entries which was a pain  but allows us to finish the changes and unlock our freeze.

 

Pleaee check your software as now multiple poeple are reporting the same isssue.

 

Thanks

Appreciate the update, @rookie99.

 

I'm here to make sure this matter is addressed timely so you can import the changes from an accountant file without manually entering them in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Thank you for sharing how entering journal entries is your remedy to finish the changes needed from the accountant copy. This will help other customers, like you, who are facing the same problem this time.

 

Since the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Support. You can work with one of our specialists in letting our engineering team investigate what is the reason behind the problem currently raised. To do so:

 

  1. Go to Help.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. Click Contact Us.
  4. Enter a few words describing how the accountant changes don't import in the What can we help you with? text area.
  5. Select Continue.
  6. Click Start a chat or Get callback to connect with our team online.

 

On top of that, I've also included this reference helpful for the general knowledge needed while using the accountant's copy: The Accountant's Copy in QuickBooks Desktop and Knowing More About its Limitations. Also, make sure to always work with the latest versions of QuickBooks to avoid issues while using the file.

 

I've got you covered if you have questions aside from working with an accountant's file in QuickBooks. Don't forget to include my name, @JonpriL, in your reply in the comments below so that I can get back here and lend a hand. Take care always, @tiecpa!

I am having the same exact problem.

I've got the steps to resolve this, jm591.

 

Let's enable the hidden administrator account on your computer. This allows you to do anything without restrictions. Here's how:

 

  1. Open the Run command box by simultaneously pressing Windows + R keys.
  2. In the Run command box, type lusrmgr.msc.
  3. Press Enter key to open the Local Users and Groups window.
  4. In the left pane, click the Users folder to see various account names in the middle pane.
  5. Double-click on the Administrator entry in the middle pane to open the properties dialog.
  6. Under the General tab, uncheck the option labeled Account is disabled.
  7. Click the Apply button to enable the built-in admin account.

 

Once done, we can now import and add your accountant’s corrections to update your accounts.

 

After making the changes, I'd suggest disabling the feature. It's also best to create a password to protect it from unauthorized access.

 

 Additionally, I've added these resources that'll help you learn more about managing and using the Accountants Copy in QuickBook Desktop:

 

 

Please keep us posted on how these steps work out. I want to make sure you're able to import the changes. I'll be keeping an eye out for your response.

You are kidding right with that detailed explanation and manipulation of administrator rights that didn't work for the customer anyway?  How many of your QuickBooks customers do you think possess the skills to follow through with those work around instructions? 

 

I am a CPA with probably far more years of experience than most of you employees have working with QuickBooks, and I can tell you that there is a problem here that needs to be addressed by your engineers, so how about giving us a real solution to fix this issue?

I have had two clients with the exact same issue in two days describe the exact same issue, one is using the most currently updated version of QuickBooks 2020 and the other QuickBooks 2022.  They go through the normal process and when a "new" screen comes up to import the changes, THE BUTTONS DON'T WORK, THEY DO NOTHING.  How difficult is it for a QuickBooks software engineer to replicate the issue described and provide a real fix?

 

The ability to incorporate changes with an accountant's copy is a big feature that your desktop customers count on to run their businesses.  Just because Intuit is focused on pushing QuickBooks Online doesn't mean you need to neglect your Desktop customers and their clear support needs.  The posts in these threads go back several weeks.  Might you let us know when we can expect you to acknowledge the issue and provide a fix?

 

Thank you

I have the exact same issue.  I was on with support for 6 hours and they finally told me to get an in-house tech person and see if they can fix it.  It is obviously a QB problem that a lot of people are having.  Please fix it!
