DESK52 Sync Error in QuickBooks Desktop Web Connector

If you see the error:

DESK52: Unable to set user as ‘preferred exporter’ of the workspace.

This means there are multiple QuickBooks Desktop connections configured within the same Workspace in Expensify.

Why the DESK52 Sync Error Happens in QuickBooks Desktop

The DESK52 error occurs when:

• More than one QuickBooks Desktop connection exists within the Workspace.
• The system cannot determine which connection should be assigned as the preferred exporter.
• The preferred exporter setting conflicts with existing Web Connector configurations.

Only one QuickBooks Desktop connection can be designated as the preferred exporter for a Workspace.
