Creating bank rules can only be done based on Bank text, Description, and Amount @dittrichktd.
For now, creating one using transaction numbers is unavailable.
You can manually categorize the check as a payroll expense. Let me show you how:
- Go to Banking menu.
- Click the For Review tab.
- Select the transaction.
- In the Category drop-down, select Payroll Expenses.
- Click Add.
You can also assign, categorize, edit, and add your downloaded banking transactions in QBO to easily review them.
I can also send feedback to our product engineers to check if they can include this one in the future updates.
If there is anything else I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to comment below.
