Buy nowEmployees are sending in receipts to QB and getting an initial message saying that QB is not able to view attached files because of the format (even tho they are using the correct format). Then not long after they get an email saying that the email was successful & QB is processing the message. Why would the initial message be sending out then? Thanks!

I want to make sure your employees are able to enter receipts in the QuickBooks Online account.
As an initial troubleshooting step, I recommend clearing the browser cache. The cache is in place to collect frequently used data to make loading web pages quicker and easier. If it becomes too full it can potentially cause certain viewing and performance errors. Clearing the cache will remove anything that's preventing the receipt entries to update properly. Here's how to get this done in Chrome for example:
1. At the top right, click More (three vertical dots) and then Delete browsing data.
2. Choose a time range, like Last hour or All time.
3. Select the types of information you want to remove.
4. Click Delete data.
The following article provides similar steps depending on which browser you're using: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues
Your employees can also do this if they're using the QuickBooks Online mobile app by going to the Help menu at the top of the screen, then choose the Reset App Data option from the drop-down menu.
This link offers details to fix common errors in the mobile app for Android.
Please give these steps a try and let me know how things look afterward. I'll be here if you have any other questions.
They are not using the app - or QB Online to do so. They are just using the email that sends it to the receipts folder in QB.
