Adding a vendor or customer enables you to create additional customers and vendors in your accounting schematic. In addition to creating a new vendor or customer with which your company interfaces, you may also create an Alias for the vendor or customer at the same time. Creating Aliases enables you create easy and recognizable names commonly utilized by your company. When the application reads an online banking export file and an alias is encountered, a pre-defined payee and account is automatically pre-populated in the Review Transactions window
By creating aliases, you are not required to have a one for one match between online transactions and vendors & customers within your accounting software. It also eliminates the possible issue faced when vendors add transaction identifiers, such as store number or date, to transactions.
