How to handle transactions missing a category

Your Dashboard shows a Transactions missing category card that highlights transactions without a spending category. Categorising all transactions helps with accurate reporting and Xero sync.


Finding uncategorised transactions

  1. On your Dashboard, look for the Transactions missing category card.
  2. Click on it to see the list of transactions that need a category.

Categorising a transaction

  1. Click on the transaction to open it.
  2. On the Edit transaction tab, select a Category from the dropdown.
  3. Click Save transaction.

Tip: If you use the Xero integration, categories map to your Xero chart of accounts. Uncategorised transactions cannot be synced to Xero.


Reducing uncategorised transactions

  • Set default categories on your budgets so new transactions are automatically categorised.
  • Use the Bookkeeper AI agent (coming soon) to auto-categorise transactions based on merchant and spending patterns.
