ErrorCode: 2500 - Invalid Reference Id: This account has been deleted.

This article helps Webgility Online users in resolving "Error Code 2500 – Invalid Reference Id: This account has been deleted," – which occurs when a deposit account configured in Webgility Online has been made inactive in QuickBooks (Online/Desktop). It provides guidance on reactivating the inactive account or updating the sync settings in Webgility Online to reference an active account. By ensuring consistency between Webgility Online and QuickBooks, users can successfully post orders without encountering reference ID errors.

Root cause:

The user made the "Use this Deposit Account" inactive in QuickBooks Online (QBO) but didn’t update the settings in Webgility Online (WO). As a result, when trying to post, an error will occur because the two systems are not synced up correctly. It's important to ensure settings are updated in both places to avoid this issue.

 

Possible solution:

The user needs to either update the Webgility Online (WO) to use an active account or reactivate the account in QuickBooks Online (QBO) before posting the order. This change is necessary because the account being inactive is causing an error. By fixing this, the order can be posted successfully without any issues.
