All of a sudden it started autofilling a column when I am inputting expenses. How to stop it?

I've got all the steps you'll need to stop your expenses from auto-filling, @maggiegroff2.

 

You may have turned on the pre-fill automation option. This feature auto-recalls and fills up previous transactions. You can turn off this feature from the settings.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to Gear, then choose Account and Settings.
  2. Select Advanced.
  3. In the Automation section, tick the pencil icon.
  4. Switch off the Pre-fill forms with previously entered content button.

  5. Click Save, then Done to record your changes.

I am using the qb202 for mac. I want to turn off auto recall., there is no gear wheel or access to settings. How can I do turn off auto recall?

Good afternoon, @softek

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread about the Auto Recall feature. I can show you how to turn this off with the product you're using. 

 

You can go to the Preferences window to turn off the Auto Recall feature in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Edit menu, then look for Preferences.
  2. Go to the General tab, then select My Preferences.
  3. Under the Automatically Recall Information section, uncheck the Automatically remember account transaction box.
  4. Click OK.

 

It's that easy! 

 

Feel free to come back if you have any trouble along the way. We're always here to have your back. Have a great day!
