Document number in use |
We failed to find a unique document number for this entity. If this persists after multiple syncs, one way to resolve this is by renaming the conflicting transaction in QuickBooks Online.

|
Error |
Explanation / Resolution |
Name in useReleated to a Product |
The entity we are trying to sync to QuickBooks Online is conflicting with an existing entity that uses the same name. If there is an item of type inventory, deactivate it in QuickBooks Online and we will replace it with a non-inventory item. |
Name in useRelated to a Customer or Supplier |
The entity we are trying to sync to QuickBooks Online is conflicting with an existing Customer or Vendor that uses the same name. Check for a Duplicate name in Finale Inventory's Customer or Supplier list that you may have made inactive or that we have previously synced to your QuickBooks Online. The transaction that is receiving this warning is using the wrong entity in Finale. You should change the transaction to use the other correctly synced entity. This will require you to revert the Purchase order or Sales order to draft so you can choose the correct Supplier or Customer for the order that the Bill or Invoice is based on. |

has more than one associated 'entity' |
This applies to Importing Bills or Bill Payments from QuickBooks Online: You will get this error when you are importing a bill (or bill payment) that is associated with more than one purchase order (or bill). Finale does not currently support one payment made in QuickBooks for many bills. Either ignore this message, and thus the bills will not have payments attached to them in Finale, or go back to QuickBooks Online and make separate payments for each bill. |

linked entity/transaction |
This applies to exporting PO, invoices, and bills to QuickBooks Online: This will happen if you have exported a PO, invoice, or bill before and you are trying to push a change to QuickBooks Online and since then the QuickBooks entity has been linked to any other entity (in example a bill with a payment or a purchase order with a bill). If you need the update to go through, you will need to unlink the entity in QuickBooks Online to ensure it will be pushed in following sync) |
