auto-recall to pre-fill transactions (desktop edition)

I can walk you through the steps on how to enable to pre-fill option in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @Elaine C.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Edit menu, then select Preferences.
2. Click General.
3. Look for the Automatically Recall Information section, then tick to enable it. 

You then have two options, these are:

• Automatically recall last transaction for this name
• Pre-fill accounts for vendor based on past entries

Take a look at this screenshot for your reference:

Keep in mind that these options apply exclusively to vendors in QBDT. If you need to work with sales transactions, I suggest you view this article: Create, edit, or delete memorised transactions.

Tag me in a comment below if you have other questions about this process. I'll be around to help you out. Enjoy the rest of the day!

@Ryan_M  thank you for the steps.  For the 2nd option, "pre-fill accounts for vendor based on past entries", I don't see much in terms of pre-filled, except for address field which is auto filled up with vendor address.  is this what to expect?

By and large, I was hoping either for something similar to my screenshot with the top 3 line items being repeated only.  The rest of the lines could change with every cheque.  It will be quite confusing if I choose the first option (automatically recall last transaction for this name) and have to delete those lines that will be unwanted for every new cheque.

Alternatively, I am looking for auto-fill like how our mobile phone's keyboard works.  eg If I key "tr", the often used/popular options will appear eg train, tree, trash etc.  Any advise?
