"Error submitting filing electronically. Error reason:The requested form is not ready yet. Newly created data is still being processed. Please try again in a few minutes." We have deleted the payslips and retried, but we always get this error. The payroll has worked fine for years, so this is something new. We use Quickbooks PRO online. Any one else had this issue?

I can't get quick books to recognise my business account.

Can accountants please have full access to their clients' mileage records? It seems ridiculous that we can add journals, correct transactions, consent to downloading data from their bank.... yet we can do nothing with their mileage expenses except download a log!

I'm trying to add a category "Training costs" to my chart of accounts. It seems a perfectly sensible category to me. But it doesn't fit with any of the "Detail types" that are offered and it's not possible to add or amend these. I don't want to dump it under anything like "Other Misc" I've researched a bit and it seems this is a feature that is really only of use in fitting accounts onto the US tax return analysis. I'm based in the UK where we have a different set of headings (which doesn't seem to be an option in QB). Can anyone shed light of what this "feature" is supposed to do for me? Let me emphasise: this is a UK question. I can see the reason it would work in the US but to me it is just a pain as I will have to allocate a Detail Type but it will in no way be useful to me. Thanks

Is there a way of customising the 'Open Purchase Order List' report to also show Closed purchase orders as well? This report has all the right fields but I can't see how to customise it to show all the purchases previously raised within a set timeframe. Your help would be appreciated.

HI, I removed my bank account by mistake from quick book. I have lost a lot of my receipts. Is there any way my account can be rolled to before I’ve done this ? 

I used to have a small icon on my home page which took me to a simple current monthly profit/loss amount. it disappeared after an update and now I can’t get that simple to read and see figure without generating a profit/loss report. 

The (enforced) introduction of Core Payroll has been a complete disaster and should be rolled back to the previous QB Payroll as a matter of urgency. Your implementation will result in companies being unable to run payroll on time, requiring additional time and resources to resolve processes manually, late payments to employees with potential knock on costs in their own failed scheduled payments, together with difficulties complying with HMRC PAYE FPS timescales, Workplace Pension compliance and more. This 'upgrade' is in fact a major downgrade and removes almost all of what made a QB Payroll subscription worthwhile. No apparent testing has taken place nor a comparison of lost features. The only way to stop an imminent mass exodus of customers is to urgently roll it back so that businesses can run this month's payroll successfully on the previous design. The software designers, engineers, testing and management involved in this product launch should reflect on whether they are in the r

Previously on Standard Payroll I have been running an 'empty' payroll for some months, i.e. unticking as an employee, running the payroll with no employees to be paid and submitting the EPS to confirm the same to HMRC. Now, under the new Core Payroll, I cannot see how to do this? Has this been removed without any notification to us, the customer? If I untick, as before, I get an error message: "Select employees before you preview the payroll for them." So I select my employee again, but change the payment to be 'skip salary this time only', I get an error message: "You must either enter the hours worked or compensation amounts, or clear the checkbox to exclude employee from this payroll run." So I clear the checkbox to exclude an employee and loop round the same process again. What is happening?! Why have Quickbooks made it so difficult! and not offered a resolve.

It only offers balance sheet accounts 😞
