Error when importing into QuickBooks Desktop
When trying to import my QuickBooks Desktop .iif file, I get the following error
You cannot associate an item with Sales Tax Payable, Undeposited Funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable, or non-posting
Cause
There can be a number of different causes for this type of error but
the most common occurs when the sales tax item on the order being
imported is not setup in QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) or it is setup in QBD but as a
Service item instead of a Sales Tax Item.
Resolution
First identify the sales tax code that is being used on the order(s)
being imported. You can do this by looking at the order in SWCS (SalesPro) Order
Entry. Then open the Items List in QBD and locate the matching
sales tax item.
-
If you don't see one then add a sales tax item to QBD using the same name as the sales tax code in SWCS.
-
If you have a sales tax item in QBD, check its
type. If it's setup as a service type then that is most likly the cause
and needs to be fixed. You won't be able to change the type of this
item in QBD so first try to delete it. If it's not being used
you'll be able to delete it. Once deleted you can add the sales tax item
correctly and try the import again. If you can't delete it then you'll
need to add a new sales tax item to QBD with a different name,
rename the matching sales tax code in SWCS and re-export the affected
orders.
