Issue:
Some customers reported an error "Error adding item labor - Tech2; BadRequest. Details: The name already exists" during the sync process of invoices with QuickBooks Online.
Cause:
The error occurs when there are spaces before and after the dash in the line item names used on the invoices. For example, the line item appeared as "Labor - tech1," causing synchronization problems.
Solution:
To resolve the syncing issue, necessary adjustments should be made by removing the spaces from the line items under "Settings > Quote Items."
Here is the step by step process:
- Log in to ServiceBox with appropriate credentials.
- Navigate to the "Settings" section, located in the top right corner of the screen.
- Go to "Quotes" tab and click on "Quote Items"
- Identify line items with names containing spaces before and after the dash, like "Adding - New item"
- Click on "Edit" button to manually remove the spaces before and after the dash, ensuring the line item reads as "Adding-new item"
- Click on Green Checkmark to to save the changes made to the line item.
- Check other line items for a similar format with spaces before and after the dash.
- Repeat the same process for each line item with spaces to remove them.
- You should be able to sync all invoices after updating line items to remove spaces before and after spaces.
