Join nowI get this transaction automatically logged as an expense in Quickbooks Online Advanced.
System-recorded fee for QuickBooks Payments - its the merchant charge for a payment made through QBO.
QB automatically creates an expense and when it comes into the bank feed it matches to the expense. I need these fees split out and I created a Rule for it. Because QB automatically creates an expense it matches to that instead of using my rule. How do I get the automatic expense to stop and just let it come into the bank feed so it will be assigned to the Rule I created?
Thank you for the detailed information, Carol. It's my pleasure to share some steps to stop the auto-created expense from matching in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
QBO automatically records deposits and fees deducted from your QuickBooks Payments transactions. If you want to stop the expense from auto-matching, you can turn off this feature from
the Categorized or Reviewed tab.
Here's how:

but that will turn off all my matching for my customer invoices and everything...
Hello Carol,
I appreciate your quick response. Yes, turning off the Automatic Matching will also do the same with your customer invoices and others. In that way, the bank rules you created will take effect after turning it off. Then, you can create other bank rules for your customer invoices and other transactions to automatically categorize in QuickBooks Online.
You can only choose either to turn off the Automatic Matching or use QBO bank rules to categorize your bank feeds transactions.
After that, you can consider reconciling an account in QuickBooks Online to match your records between your bank and QBO.

How do you turn off automatic expenses being generated?
Is there a way to define how a system generated fee gets assigned by class? Right now I have fees that I'm fine being auto-matched, but I'd like them to auto-match with a specific class I've set up.
Yes, Andrew. There is a way to achieve this in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
QBO enables you to set up a class to categorize transactions automatically. To do so, let's create a bank rule and assign a condition that matches your system-generated fees.
First, make sure to turn on the Class tracking feature. Please note that this is only available in QBO Plus and Advanced subscriptions. (If you already set up classes, skip these steps and proceed to the instructions below.)
Here's how to turn on the feature:
After that, you can set up your class list.
Once done, you can perform the steps below to add class to your rules:
