You've got a glitch there thats a total headache, I get it. Fishbowl’s export to QuickBooks is known to trip up sometimes, especially with them database target mappings. Running QuickBooks database manager or killing rogue processes can work, but it's more like a temp fix, ya know?

Here's a thought though, not ideal, but you could schedule regular maintenance tasks to automate these steps when it’s not busy. You might script a task to close lingering qb processes and run the database scan overnight. Both are fairly straightforward if you've got some scripting knowhow, nothing too crazy.

But yeah, there’s a bigger issue. Your setup should really have that seamless integration it ought to have, but Fishbowl's been known to change database configurations, which QuickBooks doesn’t always handle well. You might have to dig into those settings, and honestly, it can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re not into tinkering this stuff but, often, that's where the fix is.

Stick with it, and good luck!
