Batch Update - Suspense account transactions

I’m sure I’ve been able to do Batch Update of Suspense account transactions before, but today it seems to be a bit illusive (hope it’s not a revision change of functionality), so hoping someone can provide some friendly guidance.

let’s assume all transactions have already been imported & reconciled, and the bank rules either didn’t work or were not setup yet, either way I’ve got a lot of Suspense entries to sort out.

Assume I have created a new rule to capture future imported statements so I shouldn’t need to do this again.

Let’s assume among the hundreds of Suspense entries, there are 50 entries each with the exact same unique description, like “Rent from Bob”. :slight_smile:

I could go to either Suspense or the related bank account and search by “Rent from Bob”, that’s easy.

What is the most efficient way to edit the existing imported 50 entries with ‘Suspense’, where the key Batch Update edits, I require are:

  • ‘Paid by’: Contact = ‘other’ ; optional = 'Bob Brown"
  • ‘Account’: change from ‘Suspense’ to a GL account code ‘1234 - Rent
  • Then a ‘Division’ = ‘Room Rental

What are the key steps … and yes! I’ve read the current online and legacy PDF offline guides and Forum legacy posts, and been trying for a few hours before posting here :slight_smile:

Solved it myself, took over a dozen screen shots for future reference … wasn’t overly intuitive, but works :slight_smile:
