Turn Off "Rule Applied Auto-Recognized" Make it Stop

Good day, ndamo.

Currently, we're unable to turn off the auto-match feature in QuickBooks Desktop. When QuickBooks tries to automatically match downloaded transactions to any entries, you can review the matches before adding them to the register. 

Additionally, the software makes a match if the bank feeds and the transactions that you've manually entered in the register have the same information.

To ensure the matches are correct, I recommend creating banking rules. For more details, I suggest checking this article's Optional - Create rules to categorize transactions section: Add and Match Bank Feed Transactions.

I've also included an article that'll help you ensure your accounts matches your bank statements. This helps you ensure your books are accurate: Reconcile Workflow.

For more banking concerns, you can always click the Reply button. This way, we'll be able to assist you.

If you guys could please just add an option to turn off the confusing and useless "Auto Accountant" feature, that'd be great.  

Agreed. The new bank feed options are great, except we need to be able to turn off the "Auto-Recognize" feature. I have to go through a review each one to make sure it's not booked wrong.

Or you guys could just read a very basic book about how to be an accountant.  

The funny thing is, the Feedback link doesn’t resolve when I click it. Interesting that the “refer a friend” link works fine, as does the government-mandated “privacy” link.

agree, I don't want this feature
