Hello there, @evansmuriu291

 

Let me share an update about the error message (Please enter a valid phone number including area code.) when a new user attempts to register to your account. 

 

We recently opened an investigation about this problem, and our product team is still looking for a fix for this unusual behavior. While they do, please get the user who is trying to accept the invite to go to accounts.intuit.com and create a new login. After that, send a new invite leaving the phone number field blank.

 

Also, I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team to add your account to the notification list. Meanwhile, if you want to cancel the account, ask one of our agents to check the charge and request a refund. 

 

Here's how to reach them: 

 

  1. Go to Help at the top menu, then select Contact Us.
  2. Enter the error message in the What can we help you with? field.
  3. Click Let's talk.
  4. In the Choose a way to connect with us page, select either Email us or Get a callback.

I've also included some articles in case you need some ideas about managing your account, transactions, and subscription: 

 

Thank you for your patience. Please know that I'm just a comment away if you need further assistance. Have a great day ahead.

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?

Level 10

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.
