How do I get rid of an Auto-Add Rule?

I can show you how to get rid of the Auto-Add Rule feature in QuickBooks, @chillywillys2015.

You can edit the rule that you’ve created and then turn-off the Auto-add feature. 

Let me show you how:

1. Click the Banking menu and go to the Rules tab.
2. Find the rule that you want the Auto-add feature to get rid of and click on the Edit link below the Actions column.
3. On the Edit rule window that appears, scroll down and click the button under the Automatically confirm transactions this rule applies to option.
4.  Click on Save once you're done.

I have transactions that have auto-add and rule next to them in quickbooks but they do not show up under the Rules tab.  So I am still not able to remove them following these instructions.  How can I stop those transactions from being auto-added?

Hi there, @lchmp.

Before turning off the  Auto-add feature, you might want to undo those transactions on your Review tab to categorize again.

We can use the filter function to locate your bank transactions easily. Let me show you how:

1. In the Banking window, go to the In QuickBooks tab.
2. Click the Filter option (funnel icon) and choose the rule you used for that transaction. If you're unsure of the rule, you can choose All.
3. Select a date range in the Date field.
4. Click Apply.

You can also sort the transactions using the column headers (DATE, DESCRIPTION, and AMOUNT).

After that, you can locate and undo the added/matched bank transaction.

Here's how you would undo them:

1. Click the Banking tab in the left navigation bar.
2. Make sure the correct account that you need to work in is highlighted in blue at the top of the page.
3. Select the In QuickBooks tab.
4. Place a checkmark in the box(es) for the transactions you'd like to undo.
5. Click the Undo button that appears at the top of the list.

Even I faced the same problem. 

I have created the wrong rule and selected Auto apply option. After that i have deleted the rule directly.

But now the rule has been created all the bank transaction and i am not able to modify it. 

The auto apply option has been applied for the data from the initial date. 

I can not edit the rule because i have deleted the rule.

I'm here to share some information about removing the transactions from the auto-add after deleting the rule, @123146363230169.

Yes, you can no longer edit the deleted rule. You can undo those transactions that you've added to that rule one by one. Doing so will put it back in your For Review tab. 

The option to automatically delete the transactions associated with the rule, once you've deleted it will be a great addition to the current features that we have, so I'll take note of it. 

I also encourage you to leave feedback from within the product. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
2. Provide your product suggestion.
3. Click on Next to submit feedback.

You can check out this article for more information about providing feedback to make the program better: How do I submit feedback?.

Once you're done, here's a guide that can help you recreate the bank rule and guide you on what to do if your bank rules aren't applying to transactions: Setup bank rules to categorize online banking transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Where is the In Quickbooks Tab?  

Thank you for joining this thread, Ahayes2022.

I'd be glad to help you with your concern. However, I have to ask for more details on what you're experiencing. 

Could you tell us the specific task you need help with? Are you trying to remove the Auto-add function or undo the transactions? Any information shared ensures a timely solution. 

Keep me posted below. I look forward to working with you again, Ahayes2022. Have a great day ahead.

I hope it's okay to chime in here, I have the same question. I'm in the Banking tab, looking at the categorized items. (I had already deleted all the rules from the uncategorized column). The majority of the categorized items  have "auto-add rule" in the rule column. What happens when I click undo in the action column? I'm coming in after my client who purchased and set up things without me seeing it first. I'm trying to start fresh. Thanks for any help!

You're always welcome to chime in, @TxCatLady.

I'm here to help you manage and categorize your client's transactions so you can keep their financial data accurate in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

When you click the Undo option under the Action column of a categorized item, it'll go back to the For review tab. From there, you can manually review and categorize all your client's transactions and put them in the correct accounts. 

You may create a bank rule to automatically categorize transactions and simplify your review process. Please see this article to learn more about this: Set up bank rules to categorize online banking transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Also, I encourage you to reconcile your accounts in QBO regularly (every month). This helps monitor your income and expense transactions and detect possible errors accordingly. You may want to check out this article as your reference to guide you in doing and fixing reconciliations in QBO: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.

Please let me know in the comments if you have other concerns about managing online banking transactions in QBO. I'll gladly help. Take care always, @TxCatLady.
