Skip rules

Skip rules make bank import set aside entries that do not need matching to an invoice (for example bank fees, interest, tax) – by counterparty, IBAN, remittance, amount or a combination.

You reach the rules from the Bank Import page with the Skip Rules link. Entries that match a rule get the "Skipped" status; a skip can be undone entry by entry.

Rule types:

• Counterparty – by the counterparty's name. It looks for an exact match, ignoring case and Hungarian accents. The % (or *) sign stands for any text: for example "%BANK%" matches every entry whose counterparty name contains "BANK".
• IBAN – by the counterparty's account number; the Hungarian domestic format (without the HU prefix) works too.
• Remittance – by the remittance text, also an exact match regardless of case. % works here as well: for example "%interest%" matches every entry mentioning interest.
• Amount – skips entries whose amount is at most the Max amount you set. A limit of 1.00 can take out small bank fees, for example.
• Combination – at least two conditions that must all hold, from counterparty name, Counterparty must be empty, IBAN, remittance and max amount. For example counterparty "Treasury" and at most 5.00.
• Empty row – skips entries where both the counterparty name and the remittance are empty; optionally with a max amount.

Tips:

• Each rule can be switched on and off with Active.
• The Hits column shows how many times a rule has applied.
• Currency belongs to the amount limit: when set, the amount and empty-row conditions only apply to entries in that currency.
• A rule can carry a Category (for example Bank fee, Tax, Salary) and ledger accounts.
• The Rule Tester shows which active rule would match a given entry; with a statement open, Test on import shows how many of its rows would match.
• You can create a rule straight from an entry with Create skip rule.
