Corporate Credit Card Mapping Error
This error suggests that the corporate card does not have a liability account mapped. To resolve, go to:
- Settings
- Manage Lists
- Company Cards
- Map the corporate card to the proper Liability Account (QuickBooks, QBO, BILL, and Xero) / Cash Management Account (Intacct) / Credit Card Vendor (BILL)
- Save

Inactive Expense Category Error (Mileage)
This error indicates that the mileage expense category is not active. There might be an older, inactive mileage category in the system that is being used to categorize the expense. If there is only an active Mileage category in Tallie, you will not have the option to check if the Mileage category is the correct one. To resolve the issue, you will need to either add a new mileage category or reactivate an older one. This will allow you to see which mileage category is being used on the expense causing the error.
Please follow these steps:
- Add a new mileage category or reactivate an older one in the system (it doesn't matter which one you reactivate).
- Click on the expense itself. You can now see which mileage category is being used for the expense.
- Ensure that the correct (active) mileage category is selected.
- Export the report.
- Deactivate the new mileage category you created or the older mileage category you reactivated, and keep only the most current version of your Mileage category.
Note: For expense categories that are not type "mileage", you will need to activate the expense category to successfully export.
