Hi,

 

I am trying to setup a zap that sends airtable data to quickbooks to create an invoice. However I keep getting this error:

However the number I am providing is clearly a positive number and does not have a minus in front of it. Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Han_26 

Please provide a screenshot of the value being provided, thanks.

 

If the issue persists, you could use a Formatter > Math > Spreadsheet Style Formula step to get the Absolute Value of the number to ensure it’s positive.

Make sure there are no other Zaps step settings involved that could be impacting the value to make it negative.

Try the ABS() [absolute] step to see if that resolves the issue, which would also be done as another Formula field in Airtable.

If the issue persists, might be worth opening a ticket with Zapier Support to have them investigate further: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Hi @Han_26!

If you click on this in the Zap…

 

… you’ll be taken to this page:

As a test, can you try typing .0 after the mapped field in there and testing that to see if it works?

Hi, I tried this, unfortunately, it didn’t work.

Can you share screenshots of the rest of the create invoice mapping? 
Are you setting the rate?
