Overview
Quicken Simplifi automatically categorizes your transactions using smart logic and nearby payee data, and it usually does a great job. However, there are times when some transactions are categorized incorrectly. Whether it’s groceries categorized as “Shopping” or a paycheck missing its “Income” category, Simplifi gives you the tools to recategorize any transaction in just a few clicks.
Note: You can use the transaction Rules feature to help ensure the right Category is assigned every time. Learn more about this helpful feature on How to Use Transaction Rules.

Hover over the left panel and click Transactions.
Locate the transaction you'd like to recategorize and click on its Category field.

Press Enter on your keyboard or click off the transaction to save the changes.
