What you can do

  • Filter the grid: Search text and narrow by direction, status, mode, validity, transaction type or bank account. More filters cover additional rule fields.
  • Inspect matching logic: Edit up to five conditions on bank text, description or amount, joined with all or any.
  • Set rule actions: Review category/account, supported product or split options, payee, customer, class, location, tags and memo.
  • Manage in bulk: Batch-edit, duplicate, stage deletions and move rules up, down, to the top or bottom. Renumber priorities when needed.
  • Import and export: Paste spreadsheet rows, choose CSV, or use a JSON backup exported by the tool. Preview create/update decisions and problems.
  • Check health: Find rules QuickBooks marks invalid and review other reported issues.
  • Review before saving: Use Changed only, discard staged work, or open Review & Save.

Why it makes a difference

  • Conditions and accounting choices are visible together.
  • Rule order matters: QuickBooks uses the first matching rule.
  • Spreadsheet previews make bulk maintenance easier to inspect.

Put it to work

  1. Search for office-related rules and compare their categories.
  2. Open a rule to review conditions, payee and automatic posting settings.
  3. Paste a spreadsheet, inspect each interpreted row, then stage and review the changes.

Safe by design

Edits, imports, moves and deletions are staged until Review & Save. Import matching by Rule ID also checks the name because IDs can repeat across companies. Review Auto-add carefully: enabled rules can post matching bank transactions automatically.

Good to know

Names referenced by an import must exist in the destination company. QuickBooks capabilities determine which fields apply to each transaction type. A rule marked valid is not a guarantee that its accounting choices are appropriate.
