Invalid account code

The Invalid account code usually means the code selected doesn't match the settings in your accounting software. You need to make sure the codes in AutoEntry reflect the ones in your accounting package. If necessary, Re-Sync your data.

Once the codes have synced again, you can unpublish and select the correct code before you publish again.


Greater date error
