 Re: MsM2003 payee/memo confusion As Cal said this is a real problem but the fault lies with your bank. If my bank/credit card company put the payee name in the memo field on downloads instead of in the payee field, I would complain to the bank. If they did not fix that in a reasonabIe time, would cancel the acct/card and get a better one. I have had fair success getting banks to change their ways by closing accounts. Putting up with poor service will get you more poor service.

Money will key off of that payee, but you will have to select the Payee. - quote - > Am I correct in my understanding about this being a problem or is there some

| MsM2003 payee/memo confusion I'm a new user of MsM2003 . My bank supports download of statements in .qif, ..ofx, and .csv format. I've downloaded the .ofx statement and imported to MsM2003 . The problem is the that the bank puts some 'real useful' info like "DDA PUR 0002S052" in the payee field and the actual payee info (or closer to it) in the memo field. A .qif export of the account shows that a typical debit transaction looks like this : Date Amount Cleared Status Payee Memo 8/28/2006 -3.56 * DDA PUR 0002S052 CIRCLE K #06319 DALLAS TX 624000961150 So, I'm thinking that I'll have to manually associate each transaction (based on the memo field) with a category because MsM wants to use the payee field which doesn't have useful payee info. Am I correct in my understanding about this being a problem or is there some clever way that MsM can use the memo field to match real payees for future statement imports ? Thanks |
