Question

With the A1 changes, I can't figure out how to edit the bank description.

It downloads as Substitute Check. I'd like to add the name of the payee to the transaction, but the field is not editable.

You can modify the memo section to specify your payee's information, amselectricaldiv.

 

In QuickBooks Online, you can set up bank feed settings to display exact information according to your preferences. Although the Bank Description field can't be modified, you can enable the Copy bank description to memo option and utilize that section to include your payee's details.

 

To do this:

 

  1. Locate and select the expense transaction from your bank feeds.
  2. From there, click on the Gear icon and enable the Copy bank description to memo option.
  3. You can also specify the vendor for this entry under the From/To column.
  4. Then, from the Memo field, include your payee's name and other information.

 

 

Once these transactions are categorized, you can verify them from your bank registers.

 

 

I'll be on this forum anytime you require additional assistance.
