Assigning records a Transaction Type
 
 
The easiest way to assign records a transaction type is during the import process.  You have several options.
 
 
Simple
Typically used in G/L imports when more than one file is imported - and each file only contains records of the same classification.  Example, there may be an Excel file containing credit card transactions and then another file containing wire transactions.
 
During the import process - at the Mapping Window - select the appropriate category

 

 

Note: If you do not select a category, the default categories will be applied (Check, misc addition, misc withdrawal).

If this was not your intention, you can delete the import, and simply re-import.  As an alternative, you can also run a report and edit the record(s).

 

 

 

Rules Based - Classify Only (Simple)
Typically used in Bank imports, and in many G/L imports when there are many transaction types in the same file.

 

Based upon text contained in the record, you can search for keywords/phrases - and classify accordingly.
For detailed information, see the Site and Type Rules Help page.

 

 

 

 

 

Rules Based - Site Lookup (Advanced)

Typically used with credit card merchant numbers.

 

When the Lookup-Site field is used, the Site table will over-ride any other classification specified here.

 

 

The setup of the Site Index table is described in the Site Index Help page.
