Teach a vendor once. The next match follows.

Save a keyword and a ledger. Matching rows that are still pending update straight away, and future uploads use the rule.

What it does

A rule matches a keyword in the description or the vendor name, then assigns the ledger you picked. You create it from Review: Add rule in the toolbar, or Save as keyword rule from a row's ledger cell.

Assigning a ledger by hand also remembers that supplier. That vendor memory works without a rule. Rules are created and used from Review. A separate screen that lists every saved rule is not part of the product today.

A keyword rule that assigns a ledger when a vendor name matches.
