Hi there, @evansmuriu291

 

Let me share some ways to get rid of this error message and so the new user can register to the QuickBooks Online account. 

 

The invitation link may have already expired, that's why it's asking the user to enter a valid phone number with the area code. To fix this, a new invite needs to be sent so the user can enter the phone number without the error message. Also, make sure to use a phone number with the same region as your QuickBooks version.

 

If you get the same result, I recommended doing some browser troubleshooting to fix unexpected behavior, like an error message. Things like cache or an outdated browser can sometimes be the culprit for such an issue. For information on this and recommended steps, please see the following article: Troubleshooting browser problems.

 

I've included some resources on managing users, and tutorials for some How Do I tasks:

As always, I'm just a post away if you need any additional help. Take care.

Make sure you have open a QBO Global version for Curacao account.

You had to see the name of your country (i.e Curacao) on the top of screen when registering your credential.

Thanks for coming back, benstan.

 

Are you referring to adding an item under an expense account? If so, we can add a new product or service item posted to an expense account to track the sale.

 

But first, let's enable the Inventory tracking feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Just refer to this article for the steps and details: Set up and track your inventory in QuickBooks Online. Then, go to Step 1: Turn on the inventory tracking section. 

 

Then, follow the instruction below on how to add a new item:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Product and Services.
  3. Tap New.
  4. Select Non-inventory or Service.
  5. Add a name. If you track SKUs, enter an SKU for the product.
  6. From the Category ▼ dropdown, select the category the item category.
  7. Choose the I sell this product/service to my customer's checkbox. If you don't sell the item, you can leave it unchecked.
  8. In the Sales information section, enter a description. This is what your customers will see on their sales form.
  9. Enter an amount in the Sales price/rate field. Note: If you charge a variable rate for services, you can leave the Sales price/rate data field blank. Add the price when you fill out the invoice or sales receipt.
  10. Tap the Income account ▼ dropdown and the Expense account you want to use to track the sale.
  11. Press Save and Close.

@Pradeep K 

Where is your company located?

I'm here to guide you in creating a replica of your books of accounts from your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company to your other account, @Pradeep K.

 

You can move your existing lists from another QBO company. To do this, you'll have to manually export your books of accounts to an Excel file and import them to the other one. This way, there'll be no changes in your original books.

 

There are a few ways to export your data out of QuickBooks. Many forms, lists, and reports have a download button (Please see the attached file below).

 

You can save the data onto your computer's hard drive or follow these steps below on how to export your account list. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Search for and run the Account List report.
  3. Customise the list report's columns (i.e., Account Name, Type, Detail Type).
  4. Click the Export icon and select Export to Excel.
  5. Check the details and save the report as Excel or CSV.

 

After that, log into your other QuickBooks company and import your books of accounts. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Import data.
  3. Choose Chart of Accounts (I've attached a screenshot below for your reference).
  4. Map your data and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

 

To learn more about exporting and importing your lists (suppliers, customers, inventory, and chart of accounts) to QBO, I encourage you to check out this article: Move your lists to QuickBooks Online.

 

Once done importing, the next step is to download your transactions to QuickBooks. You can either connect your accounts to online banking or manually upload them. Then, categorise them to keep your books updated.

 

Let me know in the comments below if you need further assistance in managing your books of accounts in QBO. I'll be glad to help. Take care always.
