Creating Aliases in eZ Credit Card Import

The Aliases window enables you to create set of “aliases.” Aliases are payees and accounts that are pre-defined. Therefore, 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.

 

To create a new Alias in eZ Credit Card Import:

1.  Launch eZ Credit Card Import. The Select Import File window opens.
