with any other system.
Solutions
The QB recommended methods to counter this QB POS error are listed below-
Solution 1- Configure the settings to setup inactive employee and 
track data time
QuickBooks develops this error when you try to transfer financial data from 
QuickBooks Point of Sale to QuickBooks Desktop. The exchange stops in between 
and an error message indicating the object ID in the “list ID” field is invalid. This 
can happen if the status of the employee whose data you are trying to access in 
not active or you haven’t set the track data time properly. The issue can be 
resolved by configuring some of the QuickBooks settings as described in the steps 
given below-
• Approach the Employee menu and select Employee Center.
• Check the activity log list to find the employee you are searching for.
• Right-click on the employee name and tap Edit Employee.
• Go to the Payroll info tab and mark the checkbox for Use time data to 
create paychecks with a click.
• Click on Ok.
Once the track data time is set, proceed to set up the inactive employee with the 
steps below-
• Click on the Employees option and tap Employee Center.
• Select All employees in the drop-down list under the Employees column.
• Select the employee you are looking for in the activity log.
• Right-click on the employee name and tap Make employee active.
• Run the financial exchange again.
If the data transfer is interrupted by an error again, try the next solution.
Solution 2- Sign in with your Windows account in QuickBooks
You must use your admin account in QuickBooks to get access to all the folders 
in your system and prevent any interruption while connecting to other systems. 
Here are the steps-
• Click on the Windows button and tap on the user name.
• Click on Sign out to go to the Login page.
