If payment is made in quickbooks, how do i categorise without it becoming a deposit.

Hi there, @clive-twamalign-.

Thanks for coming to the Community! I'd be delighted to help you categorize those transactions properly.

To clarify, are they automatically added to QuickBooks? Do you have a bank rule created? Bank rules are a marvel and can save data entry time. It helps automatically confirm and add transactions for you. You can verify this by going to the Rules tab in Banking. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu and then Rules.
2. Look for a matching rule.
3. If you wish to keep it but don't want to auto-confirm transactions, click Edit and turn off Auto-add. Then, Save.
4. You may also delete it by selecting Delete from the dropdown under Actions. Then, select Yes to confirm.

If QuickBooks already added the payments, you have the option to recategorize them by undoing them first from the Categorized tab.

Follow these steps:
 

1. Go to Banking.
2. Choose the blue tile for the account you want to review.
3. Select the Categorized tab.
4. Find and pick the transactions you want to remove.
5. Click Undo. The screenshot below shows you the last three steps.
   
   
    

Once done, these transactions will go back to the For Review tab, where you can reclassify them and make sure to put them in the correct accounts.

Please let me know how these steps help you out with categorizing your payments. I want to make sure your issue is resolved. I'm always here if you need further assistance. Have a great one!
