Quickbooks Stale Object Error
Question/Problem
I receive an error message similiar to "Stale Object Error : You and *somebody else*
were working on this at the same time. *somebody else* finished before
you did, so your work was not saved." when exporting stock items to Quickbooks where they already exist in Quickbooks. What can I do to resolve this?
Resolution/Solution
Unfortunately there is no solution to this error as it means that Quickbooks has 'locked' the record for edits. A simple workaround is to not export the stock item since it already exists.
Steps
To not export an item, simply mark it as exported by following the steps below:
- Green select the stock item in the Export grid.
- Click the orange Grid Actions menu and select Mark as Exported.
Notes/Caveats
The item(s) will now appear in the Exported grid but without a 'Verified' mark.
