ONL715 Export Error in QuickBooks Online Integration

If you see the error:

ONL715: Invalid Reference ID.

This means one or more mapped accounts, vendors, customers, items, or classes used in the report no longer exist or are inactive in QuickBooks Online, preventing the export from completing.

Why the ONL715 Export Error Happens in QuickBooks Online

The ONL715 error typically indicates that one of the following was deleted or set to inactive in QuickBooks Online:

• Account (category or posting account)
• Customer
• Item
• Vendor (report creator, submitter, or Credit Card Misc. vendor)
• Class

If any referenced value is inactive or deleted, QuickBooks cannot validate the transaction and blocks the export.

This is a QuickBooks Online mapping issue, not a connection issue.

How to Fix the ONL715 Export Error

This issue can be resolved by refreshing mappings and confirming active records.

Refresh the Export Configuration

1. Go to Settings > Workspaces.
2. Select your Workspace.
3. Click Accounting.

This refreshes the reference IDs used during export.
