QuickBooks operates in two different modes. One is the Single-user mode, where only a single user can operate the company file, and the other is the multi-user mode, where multiple users can work on the company file without affecting each other’s progress in the data. Switching to multi-user mode only requires a few clicks. However, setting up a multi-user mode is a complex process and needs to be done very carefully. If there exists even a minor issue in the multi-user set up, the user can’t access the company file, and different error codes will pop up depending on the cause of the issue. Here in this article, we will be discussing one such error that appears while opening the company file in multi-user mode and appears with an error code 6147. Keep reading the complete article to know the exact cause of QuickBooks error 6147 and its solutions.
