This isn't really a good answer. This issue the number one source of errors in our bookkeeping business. It's ridiculous that there's no way to exclude checks from being auto classified.

And by the way - Quickbooks Online NEVER gets better at classifying checks. It's impossible. So why hasn't the coding been adjusted to allow us to set a rule to never classify like in Quickbooks Desktop?

I spend a lot of time each week removing check and deposit auto-fill payees!  QB automatically uses one single customer account name and applies all bank deposits regardless of the deposit type to this customer name.  I have contacted support and they say that there isn't any way to stop this!!

I have been using QB online for many months and QB hasn't learned it yet!  How long does it need?

Hi CarlyL, 

I've got the same problem so I try to manually change it every time. I want to leave the payee blank so I delete the auto-filled payee. However, this does not work, and when I check the transaction, the deposits are still assigned to that particular customer.

Is there any way to "truly" leave payee blank?

Thank you!

Hi Ginko.

Unfortunately there wouldn't a way to do this on a permanent default basis.

This really is a big nuisance and can be confusing.  Please fix this.

Hi SDR.

I will be sure to submit this as feedback to our Development team so we can hopefully get this resolved in an update.

Please, for the love of god, make the product work better BEFORE "innovating" any more...

Welcome to the Intuit Community, av_123.

With regards to having an option to stop the Payee name from auto-filling on transactions, I couldn't agree more and I believe the more added flexibility the product has the more it will appeal to the wider audience. I have added this request to our own internal product enhancement list, which we send directly to our product development team.
