Re: Self-Employed, I've tried creating invoices like normal on both a laptop and the App and it h...

Let's perform some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the possibility of a webpage issue and help you manage customer sales entries, Gabe.

 

Sometimes, stored cache files can cause interruptions within the program. With this, let's access your account in a private browser, which doesn't retain internet data and will enable you to proceed in saving and sending your invoices.

 

You can refer to these keyboard shortcuts to open one:

 

  • For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Safari browser: Command + Shift + N

 

In your iOS app, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Settings and tap General.
  2. Click iPhone Storage, then select the QuickBooks Online app.
  3. Tap Offload App. This will free up the storage without deleting your app's documents and data.

 

Moreover, you'll want to start reviewing and categorizing your accounts to ensure they are assigned to the correct line of your Schedule C.

 

We're always ready to assist you with any additional queries you have when managing customer invoices in your account. Reach out to us anytime below. Stay safe.

I create the invoice in Self Employed QB like normal. Put in all the info for the client and items. When I hit save or email it errors out saying to refresh the page and redo the invoice. This has happened on both the iPhone app, and the laptop Website. Is QB having issues? Is there something I'm missing?

I attempted to use the private browser in the web browser and it still came up with an error not letting me save the invoice.  I also tried saving a different invoice I need to make, and tried changing the number of the invoice, both attempts failed to save/send a invoice.  

Error Message: 
"We can’t save your invoice right now. Try refreshing the page and creating the invoice again."

QB is looking into the issue.  The status page, that the employees SHOULD be checking, says it is still broken.  

It is NOT your computer. I promise.
