I guess Intuit got my e-mail. If any of you are using the online banking features of QuickBooks 2009, then I’m sure you’ve also found the implementation to be abysmal. Every time I classify an unmatched transaction to a vendor, every transaction with the same description is automatically marked as belonging to the same vendor. This is very annoying, and the result is such a convoluted process that the end result is a product that seems unfinished and barely usable. I am pleased to see that the updates to be released address the exact issues I am having with my QuickBooks installation.

Update 1 (QuickBooks 2009 Release 4)

Update 1 provides the ability to

  • Quick Fill. You will be able to start typing entry information, such as payee and account names, and QuickBooks will recognize what you are typing and complete the information for you.
  • Add New. You can quickly add new names, accounts, and classes within Online Banking by selecting Add New from the dropdown list.
  • Manual Match. You will have the ability to view and select QuickBooks register entries to manually match the downloaded transaction. [2]

Update 1 becomes available on

  • Thursday, Dec. 11, as a download at www.quickbooks.com/support (click on the Updates & Downloads link along the top navigation bar).
  • Thursday, Dec. 18 as an auto-update if you and clients have automatic updates enabled.

Update 2 (QuickBooks 2009 Release 5)

By working overtime, our programmers were able to complete this first update and catch up with one more heavily requested change. Update 2 provides the ability to

  • Review and Add Multiple Bank Transactions at Once. You will be able to easily review, edit, and save downloaded transactions in a batch.

Update 2 becomes available on

  • Thursday, Dec. 18, both as a download from www.quickbooks.com/support and as an auto-update if you and clients have automatic updates enabled.

More Feedback

Bank of America. Some QuickBooks users have reported difficulties downloading bank transactions from Bank of America. Bank of America reports it will be able to update its systems to resolve these difficulties as early as December 12.

Multiple Windows. Some QuickBooks users have asked for the ability to have multiple windows open at the same time. We are working on an update for this as well.
