Error

Error Number: 0x80040400

Error: QuickBooks found an error when parsing the provided XML text stream.

Cause

The data being sent to QuickBooks Desktop most likely includes a special character that QuickBooks Desktop does not support, or a field being sent to QuickBooks exceeds the number of characters that QuickBooks supports.

Resolution Path

1. Visit MyWorks Sync > Settings > Miscellaneous and change the Character Encoding to ISO-8859-1. This format is more amenable to special characters.
2. If the character encoding does not resolve the issue, visit the related order in WooCommerce and review the product name. Does it have special characters in it? If so:

1. Remove the special character from the product name in WooCommerce.
2. If removing the special character from the name is not possible, visit MyWorks Sync > Settings > Order, and enable the option to Skip Line Item Description. This will skip syncing the product name into the QuickBooks description field.

3. If the product name in WooCommerce does not contain a special character that seems to be causing the issue, review the rest of the order details in WooCommerce, like the customer name, address, email, etc.

1. If they contain a special character, remove the special character from both the customer details in WooCommerce Users, and from the order details.
2. If a field contains more than 25 characters, shorten it to fit this limit. The first fields to check are usually Company Name or Address 1.
