# Fishbowl: "Accounting configuration is not valid"

> Your Fishbowl accounting integration setup is incomplete or the connection to QuickBooks/Xero has become invalid.

## What it means

Fishbowl tried to use your accounting settings and found them incomplete or incorrect. This typically happens when you attempt to sync data or run a transaction that requires accounting integration, but the setup is no longer valid. The connection may be down, credentials may have expired, or required fields may be missing.

## What to check

- Verify your accounting software login credentials are still correct and that account access is active.
- Check whether the integration connection in Fishbowl is still established (review the accounting integration status in settings).
- Confirm that all required fields in the accounting configuration are filled in.
- If recently changed, verify any accounting settings modifications are complete.
