Bank rules
Open in the demoRules suggest the account and tax rate for bank lines you see every month, and can apply them in bulk.
Find them under Banking Bank rules. Rules apply across all your entities.
Create a rule
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rule name | A name you'll recognise, for example "Electricity". |
| Bank description contains | Text to look for in the bank line, at least 3 characters. Upper and lower case don't matter. |
| Direction | Money out, money in, or either. |
| Account and tax rate | Where matching lines are posted. |
| Active | Switch a rule off without deleting it. |
You can also create a rule while reconciling: categorise a line and tick Create a rule from this.
Test and apply
- Test on bank feed shows which unreconciled lines a rule would match, before you use it.
- Apply all rules (N) reconciles every line that matches an active rule in one go.
- While reconciling a single line, matching rules show as suggestions.
Keep descriptions specific. A short phrase like "pay" matches far more than you intend. Test before applying.
