You can uncheck the Enable suggested categorization to stop your bank transactions from categorizing unsystematically, Marianne. Let's walk through some steps to help you achieve this using your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
To start, you can hover in the Transactions tab. This way, you will be routed to the Bank transactions section to uncheck that feature.
Let me show you how:
- On the left navigational panel, look for the Transactions tab.
- Select Bank transactions.
- In the small Gear icon, scroll down to locate the Enable suggested categorization option.
- Once you find it, you can now uncheck the Enable suggested categorization.
With these adjustments, your bank transactions will no longer be automatically categorized, allowing you to have control over organizing and reviewing your financial activities according to your preferences.
