What verify really means...

In basic terms, the data verification process in QuickBooks is a tool that examines the health of your QuickBooks company data file. In many cases, the verification process will run and the end result is a "clean report" that the data has verified successfully. If so, there is nothing else to worry about.

However, in other cases, the data verification process is a really good "early warning indicator" that some trouble is brewing within your QuickBooks data file. In these cases, the verification process simply can't (or won't) finish and you are told to "rebuild" your QuickBooks data file. The "rebuild" is another tool built into QuickBooks for your benefit. It helps put all of your QuickBooks data back in the right place and re-organizes it for optimum usage.
