Common Quickbook Format Errors   Top

QB IIF: TRNSTYPE

If you receive this error during the QuickBook's import process, it means you have set Theatre Manager to use the incorrect QuickBook version that you are using. The TRNSTYPE is a keyword that identifies the type of transaction. The solution is to alter the QuickBook's Export version in the Account Export Formats to use the correct version: * (2007-2018 export) It will default to Journal for General Journal transactions. * (2019 and later export) It will default to General Journal for General Journal transactions.

The customer job field cannot be blank. From the drop-down list, choose a customer or job, or enter a new name.

QuickBooks has a requirement that a valid Customer/Vendor is included when posting to the built-in accounts receivable or payable accounts. QuickBooks cannot assign a receivable or a payable to 'nobody', so it requires a Customer/Vender that is previously setup within QuickBooks.

The solution is as simple as avoiding any postings directly to the QuickBooks account types of Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Rather: * Create a separate standard (non A/R) asset account * Call it (for example) A/R for Theatre Manager * Separate liability account and call it (for example) A/P for Theatre Manager * Reference those account numbers in Theatre Manager's External Account value (name or number) used to create the export file.

This way, there is no need to maintain Customers/Payees/Vendors in the export file as these accounts are just standard Asset / Liability and not linked to a special account type. Then when you import the amount into QuickBooks, it will go against the standard asset account and not against the built-in accounts receivable account in QuickBooks. When you want to see the details that make up the A/R for Theatre Manager or the A/P for Theatre Manager account is, go directly to Theatre Manager for the details, rather than QuickBooks.

To recap, create a standard Asset & and a standard Liability account to use to post to in QuickBooks.
