QuickBooks Error message - Invalid Reference ID

The error message typically indicates that there is an issue with the reference ID or the element ID of an account in the integration

Updated over a year ago

In QuickBooks, each account is assigned a unique identifier called reference ID or element ID.

This ID is used to identify and reference the account in the system. The error message suggests that the reference ID or element ID provided does not match any existing accounts in the QuickBooks integration.

You need to make sure that the reference ID or element ID you are using is correct and corresponds to a valid account in QuickBooks.

Double-check the spelling, formatting, and case sensitivity of the ID.
