# Fishbowl: "Ship Method has empty name"

> A Ship Method in Fishbowl tried to sync to QuickBooks with a blank name.

## What it means
Fishbowl attempted to push a Ship Method to QuickBooks during an accounting sync, but the Ship Method's name field was empty. QuickBooks can't create a record without a name, so the sync failed.

## What to check
- In Fishbowl, locate the Ship Method with the blank name that triggered this error.
- Assign it a proper name, then retry the sync.
- Alternatively, if you don't use this Ship Method, consider disabling or deleting it to prevent future sync attempts.
