Hi.
I'm a builder, although there was no option remotely near that type of work when I had to choose closest type of business to my own whilst setting up the account. My issue with this is that I have a lot of transactions from building supplies companies which from the imported bank information Quickbooks lists the transactions as "Property/equipment repairs," where as pretty much every one is "Other business expenses". If I could select a profile close to builder/maintenance worker then that would probably sort this issue? It just seems a waste of energy assigning each transaction every time.
Thanks for visiting us here in the Community, David2020.
I'm here to get the help you need in categorising your transactions.
In QuickBooks Self-Employed, we have this feature called Rules (or Bank Rules), which allows you to set up your own conditions for categorising bank and credit card transactions. With this feature, setting up rules can be an important time saver, especially for businesses with predictable transactions.
To create Rules, here's what you'll need to do:
To give you more of an idea about this process, here's a great resource that you can check: Use rules to speed up reviewing and categorising transactions.

Feel free to get back to me if you have any other questions, I'm always here to offer additional assistance.
That's brilliant, thank you. I hadn't noticed the check box for "apply to past transactions. All sorted now. I do have another slight issue. Is it possible to view the community responses in another font as I'm finding it hard to read?
Thank you
David
