1) In case when the accountant’s file does not get created from the company file
– Verify that there is no special character in the file name for eg & , > , < sign etc
– Change the location of the company file or create new portable file over desktop.
– Now restore the portable file over desktop.
– Create accountant’s copy from file > Accountant’s copy > save copy
2) Error while importing Accountant’s changes
– While importing the accountants changes into the company file, always get the confirmation if the file has been created from the file which you are trying to import the changes from.
– If you are getting ‘Accountant’s changes pending’ at the top of your QuickBooks, it means the file is good to import the changes.
– Sometimes customer remove restrictions from the file- File> Accountant’s copy> Remove restrictions
In this case customer will not be able to import changes from Accountant.
