My accounts or lists are missing. How do I refresh the drop down lists in Connex?

During the initial install of Connex, our tool downloads your chart of accounts into our database. Our tool downloads your class list, sites, bins, and any other list under the lists area of QuickBooks.

Introduction

These values are used to populate the drop downs. After the install, our tool receives no changes. You must instruct Connex manually that you changed QuickBooks.

I am missing an account. What kind of errors would I receive?

In this example, there is no inventory asset account. For inventory items, this is a required field. Here is an excerpt from the log:

Error 3140 : While trying to Add ItemInventory MNSR-1000-1. QuickBooks responded: There is an invalid reference to QuickBooks Account "" in the Item Inventory. You need to update your chart of accounts with us.
