How to Fix QuickBooks WebConnect Import transaction Error

Restoring a Backup File

The first solution is a simple way to solve this QuickBooks error. You should have a backup before you tried importing the web connect file. You can restore this backup file and try to import the web connect file again.

• Open QuickBooks and click on ‘File’.
• There should be a Backup/Restore option there.
• Click on the Restore option and follow the given instructions to restore a backup.

This step highlights the importance of regularly backing up your QuickBooks company file. You can manually backup the file or schedule regular automatic backups.

Enter the Transactions Manually

If the web connecter file you’re trying to import only has a few transactions in the given period, you might want to save time and just enter the details manually in the register.

Edit the .qbo File

The .qbo file is the web connect file, and this solution involves editing it. If you’re not confident about this step, contact technical support in your company to help you out. By editing the QBO file, you can change the account ID and then import the transactions successfully even if they have been imported before.

As mentioned earlier, the account ID ensures that duplicate entries are not imported. This solution works around that feature, so use this method only in extremely necessary cases. Follow all the given steps carefully to avoid duplication of entries.

1. In QuickBooks, click on Company, then click Chart of Accounts.
2. Press and hold the Control button on your keyboard and select the credit card or bank account in which you want to import the .qbo file.
3. Click on Edit Account and select Online Settings.
4. It will open up a drop-down menu. Click Not enabled.
5. Next, download a new .qbo file from the bank account for the needed dates. You might get duplicated entries and may have to match transactions manually if you go back further.
6. Now, open the new .qbo file in TextEdit or any other text editor app.
7. Scroll down to find ACCTID and search for your credit card or bank account number.
8. Once you find it, delete the last digit in the account number and save changes in the file.
9. Now try importing this file to the correct account.

You should now be able to import the transactions easily. If the error still persists, contact QuickBooks support.

Here’s an example that is easier to follow and will help you resolve the issue using the above-mentioned solution.

Example:

The ‘Nothing important, Account up to date’ error comes up when the .qbo file gets written over on the last import.

2. Choose any text editor program and open the file.
3. Using the ‘Find and Replace’ option in the text editor, search for <FITID>.
