Question

Bank Feeds

Hi,

I regularly download transactions from my Visa, AmEx and bank accounts into my desktop QB account.  Visa and the bank transactions work as you would expect.  However, when the transactions from AmEx are downloaded into the bank feeds section, it is clear who the payee is, the same as the "downloaded as" vendor.  However, once I have identified the proper account for the transaction, batched and approved the transaction(s), when it appears in my general ledger, the name in the memo column is my name, the cardholder name.  I use AmEx a ton and have thousands of transactions that list my name line after line instead of importing the vendor or payee name.  Can you help me?

Hi @Docw,

 

I'll share some insight on this query about your downloaded bank transactions in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

To ensure the correct details appear on your bank register for the downloaded transactions, you can use rules. 

 

In Advanced Mode, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu.
  2. Highlight Bank Feeds, then Bank Feeds Center.
  3. Select Rules, then choose Add Rule.
  4. Enter a Rule Name, then specify if it’s Money In or Money Out or Both.
  5. Add Conditions.
  6. Add values for Payee, Account, and Class if you have class tracking enabled.
  7. For Money Out rules, you can also assign a Customer:Job.
  8. Add the conditions for the rule, then when you’re done select Save.
