Why am i getting QBO ID is NULL or EMPTY

By coincidence, I just now ran into the same error message.  An employee name was entered incorrectly.  We figured out that the personal information section must be completed with all the required information before it can be saved.  Then we were able to delete the employee..

Hi, Vtori67 and mikebeattycpa. Yes, the personal information section must be completed with all the required details. It may cause an error if the employee's name is entered incorrectly.

If the issue persists you'll need to log in to a private window then review the details you've entered and make sure it's correct.

Once you've verified the details are accurate, you can perform the basic troubleshooting process. Let me guide you with the steps below:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

If the private browsing session works, you can clear the browser's cache in your regular browser to improve the program's performance.
