Look no further, rsversteegh. I’ve come to show you the ways how to get rid of this error message.


Browser issue is the most common reason of the unexpected error you're getting when managing your invoices. Please know that the online platform uses the browser’s cache to run faster. However, these can sometimes become corrupted, which affects QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) functionalities.


You can perform some troubleshooting steps to rectify this. First, open your QBSE account in a private or incognito window for testing. Here are the shortcut keys below for quick navigation:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari 11 or newer: + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P


Once logged in, check if you're still getting the said message. If you can manage your invoices smoothly, get back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Doing this helps the program to run seamlessly. Another way to determine if it's a browser-related issue is to use other supported browsers.


If you have receipts on your mobile device that you never entered into QBSE, you can now email them. The program scans the images and enters the details for you. See this reference for complete instructions: Forward receipt images to QBSE.


Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can help you with besides this performance concern. I’ll be more than happy to assist you. Have a great rest of your day!
