I don't recognize a transaction

What to do — and no, you didn't break anything.

It happens to everyone, and no, you didn't break anything. Here's how to sort it out.

  1. Open the transaction in Needs review.
  2. Check the date and amount against your records or your bank app.
  3. If it's a business expense, code it and post it. If it was personal, mark it that way.
  4. Still unsure? Leave it for now, ask the assistant, or check with your bank.

Leaving one unreviewed is completely fine — it just stays on your list until you're ready.

What happens next — once you decide, it's coded and off your review list.
