Check in this order

  1. 1

    Connection

    Settings → QuickBooks shows Connected. Intuit tokens expire; if it says Reconnect, sign in again. Nothing syncs while disconnected; it catches up after.

  2. 2

    Read the failure reason

    Sync activity log → the failed row. Since September 2026 errors are written in plain language: Tax rate NJ Sales Tax is not mapped to a QuickBooks tax code, Item Mulching has no QuickBooks item, Customer was deleted in QuickBooks, and so on.

  3. 3

    Fix the mapping

    Tax: Settings → QuickBooks → tax codes. Items: services mapping. Customers: relink or create. Zentive no longer falls back to a default tax code, so every rate you use must be mapped.

  4. 4

    Retry

    Retry the row, or Settle all after a broad fix.

  5. 5

    Still failing

    Copy the exact reason and the invoice number and contact support.
