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:
Our Product Engineers are still investigating and working to fix this issue (INV-39519) as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I recommend following the workaround shared by my colleague above, which is to let the user who is trying to accept the invite visit the accounts.intuit.com and create a new login. Once done, send a new invite again and leave the phone number field blank.
Additionally, I highly suggest contacting our Phone Support team so they can add your details to our notification list. This will help our Engineers determine the number of affected users. An email will be sent to you once this has been resolved. I'll also inform you here when we get the update as well.

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.

Choose Product and Services.
Tap New.
Select Non-inventory or Service.

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.
Tap the Income account ▼ dropdown and the Expense account you want to use to track the sale.
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:
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:
Go to the Gear icon.
Select Import data.
Choose Chart of Accounts (I've attached a screenshot below for your reference).
Map your data and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
