How to fix downloaded transactions that automatically categorize as transfer instead of income?

For the past few weeks my company's incoming credit card income has been getting automatically categorized by Quickbooks as "uncategorized transfer." Each day I correct the transaction to a deposit instead of a transfer, I change the account to "Sales" and change the sending entity to TSYS. Each time I make this correction Quickbooks shows a message that it will change all future downloads to match my update. Then the next day I repeat the process. Anyone got a fix?

How to fix downloaded transactions that automatically categorize as transfer instead of income?

Hello, @FrankBarnard. Thank you for the feedback on the issue you're having.

 

With it being a couple of weeks, the transactions should start automatically attach themselves to the correct categories but, because it isn't, I want to provide you some troubleshooting steps such as Clearing Cache and Cookies.

 

What is Cache? When a device visits a website or uses an app, specific data stores in the form of a cache in the device memory. Next time you go to that site, it is easier to access it because of the cached data. Cached data was stored when the website was visited the first time. Cache data speeds up the page loading.

What are Cookies? Cookies are small files that save on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. Cookies used by the websites you log into, even to view.

 

I've attached an article with instructions on how to Clear Cache and Cookies.

 

I also have a link for you to learn about Banking Rules to try for this as well. Just go to Creating Banking Rules.

 

Please reach back out if you have any more questions or concerns. Have a great rest of your day!

Sarah BL,

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I cleared cache & cookies when this issue started without success. I spoke with folks at Quickbooks technical support yesterday and today. I got some conflicting information. The representatives did not know why the program was reacting the way it was. The representative today said that Quickbooks was moving away from the automated category recognition and I needed to create a rule instead. He said that he did not know why the program still offered to remember my changes. He thought that feature would be disappearing soon. If this is true, it is disappointing.
