QuickBooks may override recurring or memorized transactions with random categories due to the possible existence of a bank rule, Michael.
Please note that the more QuickBooks Online (QBO) uses the bank rules you create, the better it becomes at categorizing transactions. Over time, it learns how to interpret transactions and automatically adds relevant details.
Here’s how to review existing bank rules:
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Under the Lists column, select Rules.

- Select the Edit option for the existing bank rule to review or modify its details, which may be affecting the categories for your recurring or memorized transactions.

If you have any concerns, feel free to leave us a message.
