What does the error message mean and what needs to be fixed?
When transactions receive the status “Export failed”, it means that the accounting system is indicating that something is incorrect. To resolve this:
Identify what the error message means.
Follow the corresponding action.
(The error message appears at the top of the transaction details.)
Common error messages and actions
1. “Invalid refresh token”
or if you see “Oops, something went wrong” already at login
This means there is an issue with the connection between Nordea and your accounting system.
Action: Reset the accounting connection:
Log in at Nordea.se
Go to Accounting settings
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Disconnect accounting system
Refresh the page and select your accounting system again
Try exporting again
2. Voucher series is not manual (X)
The voucher series is not open for manual posting.
Action: Review the voucher series and make sure it is open for the current year and allows manual handling.
3. “Account XXXX is not active”
The selected category is inactive in the accounting system.
Action: Make sure the account is active in the accounting system for the year the transactions are being posted to.
4. Missing permission to post vouchers
The accounting connection was created by someone without the correct permissions.
Fortnox requires the person setting up the integration to be a system administrator.
Action: Ask someone with the correct permissions to set up the connection, or request the appropriate access rights.
5. “Oops, something went wrong – There is no active license for the requested scope”
The customer does not have an active integration license. Fortnox requires an active integration license to connect with third-party systems such as Nordea.
Action: Log in to Fortnox and review your subscription licenses.
6. “The value contains invalid characters”
Special characters have been used in the comment or participant list (for example / (% &).
Action: Remove all special characters and try again.
7. “FileId … was not connected to voucher”
The export was partially successful. The voucher exists in the accounting system, but the receipt is missing.
Action:
Upload the receipt manually to the voucher in your accounting system.
Then mark the transaction in Nordea as manually exported:
Click the transaction in the transaction list
Open Advanced accounting
Scroll down and select Mark as exported
8. The period is closed
The period you are trying to export to is closed in the accounting system.
Action:
Go to Accounting & Export, open the transaction, select Advanced, and enter a new accounting date.
