I'll share the common reasons for the decimal range error you received, as well as the issue with changing the start date of your inventory item in QuickBooks Online (QBO), jsheikhossen.
The message "Valid decimal range is (20,7)" means that a numerical field in the transaction is being validated against a specific rule in QuickBooks. The numbers (20,7) indicate a maximum of 20 digits total, with 7 digits allowed after the decimal point.
You may be entering or importing a value (such as quantity, amount, rate, etc.) that has too many digits or decimal places, or a starting value outside this range. This error is not related to the date field, but rather to a numeric field connected to the transaction.
Regarding adjusting the starting value, it’s possible that you selected a start date that’s after a transaction where the item was already used. Since QBO requires the start date to be before any transaction involving the item, please choose a date before any existing transactions for that item.
As always, feel free to leave a comment below if you have further questions or need clarification about QBO. We’re here to help.
