Bank feed populates all downloaded check transactions with the same Vendor


EXAMPLE: My bank feed populates all my downloaded CHECK transactions with the same Vendor. I change the vendor payee category on any given transaction it will change for all downloaded transactions in bank feed. There is no bank rule setup for this. Is there a way I can turn that off?

Unfortunately, you can’t turn that off in QBO bank feed. That’s the way it is in bank feed for Checks (and other transactions) at this time. QuickBooks needs to do something about this. It’s better to have no vendor name at all than incorrect vendor name.

Just as a workaround you can create a Bank Rule the following way:

1. Create a new vendor named “Unknown” and
2. Create a new condition rule to mark anything containing “Check” to go to Vendor payee “Unknown” and “Uncategorized Expense” account.

This will at least draw your attention to it. It will not add to wrong Vendor and incorrect Expense category tag.

 

NEW BANK RULE: UNKNOWN CHECKS

 

BANK FEED PAGE: UNKNOWN VENDOR AND UNCATEGORIZED EXPENSE ACCOUNT
