Hi there, vr-repairs85.

 

I understand you’re encountering a date-entry error when adding transactions. We’ll help you fix this issue.

 

Could you please provide more details about the actions you took while adding the transaction? A clearer understanding will help us address the matter more effectively and streamline the solution.

 

The "You must specify a date" error means the importer couldn’t read a valid date for one or more transactions. This happens when the Date field is empty or the date format isn’t recognized.

 

To fix this, make sure every transaction has a date, and use DD/MM/YYYY format (e.g., 13/11/2025). After updating, save and try importing again.

 

If you have any additional questions or concerns related to QuickBooks, feel free to reply to this thread.
