Recognise transaction at import

Hal

Apologies if this has been covered before but I’ve just upgraded to 2018 Reckon Accounts Plus and I expected to be able to overcome a problem that I’ve had with older versions. The lady at Tech Support couldn’t help me but didn’t sound experienced either. When I Import a Bank Statement there is a list of “Does not recognise payee” transactions. This list has always included my nightly bulk deposit from the bank which has payee as say “POS XXXXXXXX 2 FEB”. The first part is constant but Quicken has never recognised these because the date at the end changes every day . I did try “Save Rule” in the new version but this created JNL entries in my Register with the $ figure in both the payment and deposit columns . This is way beyond my limited accounting understanding so I deleted all those and am back to square one. - which is the tedious option of manually entering these indiviual daily transactions onto the register. Any advice on a simple way to get Reckon to recognise PART of a recurrent payee name?

Hi Hal
I need a little more info, the nightly bulk deposit, is it only eftpos & ccard? Does it go straight into a sales account?  You said POS, is this for eftpos or do you have a POS (point of sale) system. 

Is the "POS XXXXXXXX" part constant with only the date changing, if it is then a rule should work if you exclude the date from the rule. You have choices with a rule Payee Is:  Anything, exactly, all of these words, any words, contains.

The nightly bulk deposit amount is the total of all the credit card and eftpos transactions that go through our CBA Albert device which the bank calls an “ Eftpos tablet”. I do not believe it is a “point of sale system” but I could be wrong. I have tried the Add Rule idea working through as follows 1 “Rule name” > given 2. “Rule applies to” > deposit 3. “If the following conditions are met > anything, anything, anything 4. “Then do the following” > the support lady said to choose “Create a deposit Journal “ but, as explained earlier, this then puts the $ figure into the register in both the Payment and Deposit columns ... which I neither understand nor want. I’ve tried “Receive payments” but then it wants a “ Customer” ..?? I tried “create a transfer” but then it wants a “from account”. The only other option provided is “ignore transaction” Of course I can just keep adding these manually with “Add one to Register” but I figured that a sophisticated program like this should be able to get these recurrent transactions into the “ Add multiple” group.
