What to do to Reduce Corruption?

After rebuilding or repairing the QuickBooks data file, make sure to take the preventive measures to reduce chances of data file damage or corruption. Some of them are:

1. Specify File Volume to Reduce Corruption Risk

The overall size of QuickBooks file largely contributes to corruption, but it is not always necessary that only large files turn corrupt. It can be said that larger the volume of the file, greater the risk of corruption. Thus, it is recommended to constantly monitor the size of the file and keep it under control.

2. Monitor and Reduce Database Fragments

The number of database fragments can be monitored in the Product Information window. If the database has 10 or more database fragments, you can follow the given procedure to reduce the fragments.

  • Resort List: In the list menu, use Resort List option. Re-sorting the list through list headers will not put the same re-organization effect on the file. Noe that some lists may not show Resort List selection
  • Rebuild File: After re-sorting the company file, you can use the QuickBooks data file rebuild utility by following the procedure mentioned in the initial section of the blog. Rebuild Quickbooks Data file data utility can also be used to repair the risks of corruption.
  • Create Portable Company File: One of the most preferred ways to reduce database fragments is creating a portable Company file and then restore the Portable Company file to re-index the database.
  • Run Windows Defragmentation Utility: The fragmentation level of the hard drive can affect the fragmentation level of the accounting application database; therefore, you can now run Windows defragmentation utility on the hard drive where the application file is stored.

3. General Network Issues & Maintenance

In a multi-user environment, incorrectly configured routers can affect the QuickBooks performance thus increasing the risk of corruption. If the network interruption is caused due to incorrect configuration of the Server or malfunctioning of the hardware components, the QuickBooks data file may turn corrupt.

Corruption in QuickBooks data files may occur if there is anyone or combination of issues persists within the network:

  • Any connection issues exist with routers
  • Any Operating System issues
  • Hardware or network driver issues persist on workstation network adapters

4. Delete and Re-enter Transaction(s)

If the corruption in QuickBooks data file is associated with one or more transactions, you can attempt to repair the issue by first deleting and then re-entering the transactions. To find the particular transaction that is creating an issue, it is recommended to search the document number in the report and then delete and re-enter the transaction.

Corruption in the QuickBooks database file can cause discrepancies in the Balance Sheet. If any imbalances are found in the file even after executing above workaround methods, you can try alternate recovery techniques.

Points to Consider:

  1. If QBW rebuild utility fails to recover the database from errors and damage, it is recommended to look for another recovery solution.
  2. If you fail to find the error persisting in the QuickBooks file, the best way to resolve the issue is to restore it from backup.
  3. Make sure that the existing Company file is not overwritten. Any additional information is entered since the last backup must be entered manually after the restore function is done successfully.

Conclusion

If you have encountered errors after running the QuickBooks Verify utility or found any discrepancies in reports, try rebuilding your QuickBooks data file as explained in this blog. If it fails, use Stellar Repair for QuickBooks® Software to repair the data file and retrieve its data. Also, make sure to implement the manual ways to reduce the chances of data file corruption in QB.

    Failed when calling IRulesInfoAdapter: “Class not registered”
    Verify Payment Template: Invalid rules payment template id. Rcrd = 1
    Failed when calling IRulesInfoAdapter: “Class not registered”
    Company file size 31.4KB Back upsize only 23.5KB.
    Quickbooks support says the file is corrupted and want s to charge an exorbitant amount to restore.
