Business Validation Error: Enter a transaction amount that is 0 or greater.

Issue:

You may encounter the error message "Business Validation Error: Enter a transaction amount that is 0 or greater" when trying to post a transaction to QuickBooks Online.

Reason:

This error occurs when the transaction amount is either zero or negative, which QuickBooks Online does not allow.

Steps to resolve the error:

1). Verify the order in your sales channel:

  • Check the Discount Amount: Review the order on your sales channel to identify why the discount amount is greater than the subtotal, causing the negative or zero transaction amount.

  • Fix the Order: Correct the order details on your sales channel to ensure the transaction amount is positive.

  • Re-Download the Order: Once the order is corrected, go to Webgility, select the order, click on More Options, and choose Refresh to re-download the updated order.

2). If the order can not be corrected or modified:

  • Move to Ignored Tab: Move the problematic order to the "Ignored" tab in Webgility to prevent further errors. (Select the order> More actions> Ignore)

  • Create a Manual Transaction: Manually create a transaction for this order in QuickBooks Online, ensuring that the transaction amount is greater than zero.
