      6560: CustomerRef is missing in the request

      What is it: CustomerRef is missing in the request
      What causes it:
      • The customer is not mapped to Quickbooks.
        • When you create a new customer, CurbWaste has built-in automation that will create the Quickbooks mapping for you, which has failed for some reason.

      How to fix it: 
      1. If it's a recently created customer, go into the customer profile, click the edit button, then click update without making any changes. Go to Settings>Integrations and check if the customer mapping has been created.
      2. If #1 doesn't work, go to Settings>Integrations and select a Quickbooks customer to map to your CurbWaste customer. You may have to create the customer first in Quickbooks.
      3. After the mapping has been fixed, try syncing again.
