For the past few years, we have noticed stark
changes in the way accounting is done. And all
thanks to the software by Intuit called
QuickBooks. It is an accounting application which
has many powerful features like managing finances
and payroll, taking care of the inventory etc.
Since this software has many benefits, most small
and medium sized businesses are depending on it.
The best part is that every year a new version of
QuickBooks desktop is launched by Intuit with
newer and better features.   Even though
QuickBooks is an amazing application, it is not
immune to any kind of error or technical
glitches. One of the common issues faced by the
users is QuickBooks error C272 when they try to
run the QuickBooks verify Data Utility or
QuickBooks Rebuild Data Utility tool in the
system. This error disrupts the work process and
also causes delays and thats why it needs to be
resolved at the earliest. However, it is very
important to understand the causes of the error
to come up with the solution for the same.
