Additionally, here is something weird in relation to three of the transactions where Suppliers were created.
Looking at my credit card statement:
Crv*The Old White Horse, London
Crv*43043205 Costa Coffee, London
Msft *<E07..........cu>,Msft Azure (hidden for security reaons)
In all three cases, if I look at the Categorised Transactions (I've already matched them), the Descriptions show as:
White Horse
Costa Coffee
Microsoft
However, if I click through to the actual Expense transaction then the Description shows as:
Crv*The Old White Horse, London
Crv*43043205 Costa Coffee, London
Msft *<E07..........cu>,Msft Azure (hidden for security reaons)
And the names of the suppliers that have been set up randomly are:
White Horse
Costa Coffee
Microsoft
In all cases, the supplier name does not match the details on the transaction, but it is pretty damned accurate!
It's almost as if QBO has programmed some rules to automatically create suppliers for certain transaction descriptions. I have checked my own rules, and nothing like this exists.
What is going on here?
PS None of these new suppliers have any transactions associated with them. QBO has created the suppliers using information from a few of my many transactions, but then has not bothered to do anything with them!
I already have a supplier set up for Microsoft Azure - I don't need another one!
I definitely don't want to track how much I spend at Costa Coffee - an expense category is perfectly adequate
The Old White Horse was a one off transaction when meeting with a potential client. It's highly unlikely that I will ever spend at that place again!
