I’m going to add some frustrations I have with the bank rec. screen…
(I may have posted some of these before, but I no longer see them).

I use this screen to do a lot of entry – i often download my credit card statements here and then go down the list entering each transactiona nd reconciling at the same time, since many smaller transactions (like coffee) are not in the system yet.

I select “add expense” and then proceed to enter the vendor and the account and the tax status (critical for my year-end, to deduct GST/HST).

I love how you’ve implemented auto-fill on the account tab when I enter a vendor who has an account associated with them. I just wish you could do more – auto-enter the tax status as well, since most of my purchases at a particular vendor are subject to the same tax. ALSO, since I often have the exact same vendor (eg. Starbucks, Esso, Parking) it would be FANTASTIC if you could search the entry title and suggest the vendor. This would cut down my data entry by 80%. Then I’d just have to go down the list confirming everything, instead of spending 30 minutes per month entering “starbucks” over and over again.

Microsoft Money does this very, very nicely by the way in case you want an example. And it learns as it goes, so the same vendor with many variations (eg. because of different branch IDs in the credit card name) get matched.

One more thing – there is a bug in the matching algorithm right now, so that if I have a vendor called, say “blue taxi” and then I try to enter a transation from “red taxi” (a different vendor who is not in my list) it will automatically select “blue taxi” in the dropdown and won’t let me clear it and enter RED TAXI unless I add them as a vendor at that moment. If there was no match, it lets me enter vendors I don’t have in my list.

Keep up the great work!!!

I would definitely use this! I have travel, materials, entertainment, etc then all of the above for a number of different projects. As it stands I need to put codes in the memo fields in order to do a search for specific project accounting.

Any thought to doing this?? would really help.
