What is this while trying to add an expense "Something’s not quite right Unexpected problem : -1" adding expense to accounts

Hi there, @LITTLEHOUSEPRODUCTIONS.

 

Unexpected behaviors or errors in QBO are usually caused by the stored files in your browser. If the cache is holding too much data, it can affect the browsing performance that can cause an error message like the one your getting.

 

That said, let's try logging into your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account using a private (incognito) browser. Here’s how:

 

•  Command + Shift + N (Safari)

•  Ctrl+ Shift + N (Google Chrome)

•  Ctrl + Shift + P (Mozilla Firefox)

 

If it works fine as suggested, we can clear your browser's cache to delete those temporarily stored files and free some space on your browser's data. You can also do this task on other supported, up-to-date browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox. Clearing it will refresh the system, and you'll be able to work with clean trash.

 

I'm also adding this article to further guide you in managing the growth of your business using QuickBooks: Help Articles. It includes topics about account management, banking, expenses, etc. You can click the + More topics button to view other selections.

 

Please let me know if you have other questions regarding QuickBooks Online. I'd be happy to help you how to get things done again. Keep safe always!

This is also happening with 1 of my clients (the other 7 onlines are fine)

I have tried Chrome and FireFox

I have cleared the cache in FireFox

I have tried a Private Window in FireFox

 

How can I get beyond this error and why is it happening?

 

Thanks!

Thanks for joining this thread, @ShellyMae. Most of the time, unexpected behavior like this is caused by a browser-related issue that can be fixed by clearing its cache. 

 

Since the issue persists on your end, I'd recommend you contact our Customer Care team to take a closer look at the issue. They can also request to investigate the problem whenever necessary. 

 

Here's how to contact us: 

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
  2. Navigate to the (?) Help icon, then click the Talk to a human option. (type it again if prompted).
  3. Enter I still need a human.
  4. Click Contact us.
  5. Then choose either Send a message (if you prefer to chat) or Get a callback
