Run rules after records imported into register?

I imported a lot of transactions into my register, but I didn't have rules on them. So I would need to manually redo the categories. Is there a way for me to run the rules that would normally be on a bankfeed once it was imported into the register?

 

Thank you

Run rules after records imported into register?

I understand the need to recategorize your transactions in your register, David. I’m here to support you through this process.

 

Bank rules are only applicable to transactions in the Bank Feed Center. Since your transactions are now in the register, you want to review each to update their categories. To update the categories:

 

  1. From the Banking menu, select Use Register.
  2. Choose the account in concern and click OK.
  3. Click a transaction, and then the down arrow in the ACCOUNT field. image_720.png

  4. Select an account or category from the drop list.
  5. Click anywhere outside the transaction line.
  6. When you get a prompt window asking you to confirm your change, select Yes.
  7. Repeat the same process for the other transactions.

 

Another option is if you have an accountant who uses the accountant version of QB Desktop, you can send them an Accountant's copy so they can recategorize your transactions in batches.

 

You can then start reconciling your account after updating the categories.

 

I'm just around if you have more questions about recategorizing your transactions.
