Fishbowl Advanced error

Fishbowl: "Sales tax name missing"

QuickBooks DesktopQuickBooks sync

What it means

Fishbowl attempted to create or update a sales tax in QuickBooks, but discovered the tax name is blank. QuickBooks requires all sales taxes to have a name, so it rejected the sync.

What to check

  • In Fishbowl, locate the sales tax record that triggered this error (check your sales tax setup or list area)
  • Verify the name field contains a value—it should not be empty
  • If blank, enter a descriptive name (for example, “State Sales Tax” or “Local Sales Tax”)
  • Retry the sync to QuickBooks
