Overview: The QuickBooks Desktop error QBWC1003 can occur when trying to run the sync, but you don't have the proper QBD permissions.

Additional Resources:


For the QuickBooks Desktop integration to work with Buddy Punch, you'll need to be signed into QuickBooks Desktop as the main account holder.

Your error might look similar to this:

You'll need to uninstall the web connector, then sign in as the QuickBooks main account holder and reinstall the web connector for it to work.
