"Uopgrade" Drops Critical Bank Transaction Download Automation
I upgraded to QB2009 Pro from QB2006 Pro. QB2006 provided a means to download and automatically enter bank information. I get several bank deposits from my credit card company every day. Under QB2006, this was automatically entered in about 20 seconds, using the "Add Multiple" button in the Bank Download. Under QB2009, I must manually enter all the data for payee, account and amount. One cannot enter the class, and must exit the download, then select each new transaction and edit it to change the class. This is a horrible HORRIBLE waste of time. The poor software design of this "new" feature overwhelms all the other potential benefits of the new features they implemented in QB2009. Watch out! Intuit's sales blurb claims that QB2009 improves the download automation. That is complete baloney.
Quickbooks User Community says this is the #1 issue on tech support, but Intuit has still not addressed the User Forum to acknowledge the defect or indicate when it might be fixed.
My advice is DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE UNTIL THE BANK TRANSACTION DOWNLOAD AUTOMATION is fixed.
I am returning the software for credit and will end up buying QB2008.
