on your computer.
SOLUTIONS
Apply the techniques compiled below to terminate the QuickBooks 
error from your PC-
Solution 1- Ensure the entry isn’t inactive 
and rename it
This error will develop randomly while using QuickBooks on your 
PC. This issue can also block you from running the verify-rebuild 
utility. It mostly happens due to a duplicate entry in the item list of 
your QuickBooks. The software will struggle to process the data if 
the duplicate entry becomes inactive. You must check if the entry 
is inactive and then change its name to make it unique. Use the 
steps given below-Launch QuickBooks on your PC and go to the 
Lists menu.
• Click the Item list option in the drop-down list and click the down 
arrow in the Items tab.
• Click the Show inactive items in the list and search for any 
duplicate entries in the data.
• Double-click on the duplicate entry and edit a character in its 
name to make it unique.
If you encounter the error again while working on your 
QuickBooks, try the next solution.
Solution 2- Search and fix the duplicate 
entries in the QBWin.log file manually
QBWIN.log file contains information on all the errors and program 
messages displayed by the software. The file also has the information on 
the files you processed with the verify-rebuild utility. Any duplicate 
entries or discrepancies in this file can lead to issues in the software. Use 
the following steps to clear the duplicate entries-
• Approach the location of the QBWin.log files on the system drive by 
running the file explorer and visiting C:\Users\YOUR USER 
NAME\AppData\Local\Intuit\QuickBooks\log\XX.X\QBWin.log( XX.X is the 
QuickBooks version).
• Open the QBWIN.log file and go to the bottom of the file using CTRL + 
End on your keyboard.
• Press Ctrl + F and type ‘Duplicate’ in the search window that appears.
• Enter the name, account, and details mentioned in the error message.
