If you have AST enabled when an invoice is synced Quickbooks Online needs to be able to validate the shipping address to calculate AST correctly. If a shipping address entered on the invoice is invalid or if the postcode is missing, Quickbooks Online AST will not be able to calculate the tax rate resulting in a validation error.

Solution

Update the address you are shipping to in ConnectWise Manage ensuring that the postcode is present, then resync.
