Overview
Managing your finances can feel a lot smoother when your expected transactions—like rent, subscriptions, or utility bills—are already accounted for. That's where Quicken Simplifi detects your recurring transactions and creates a series of them. These series serve as grouped reminders, allowing you to view upcoming transactions easily. Your Reminders list will show up at the Bills & Income tab, or at the top of the Transactions view.
Quicken Simplifi automatically links your newly downloaded transactions to the reminders, and it usually does a great job. However, there are times when some transactions are linked incorrectly.
Note: Quicken Simplifi only shows your most recent overdue reminder for recurring bills. The outdated reminder is deleted when the next scheduled reminder comes up.
Link a Transaction to a Reminder
Hover over the left panel and select Transactions.
Select the account where the transaction occurred.
Locate the Reminder you'd like to link and click the three-dot icon to the upper right of it.
Select Link to transaction.
Locate the matching transaction and click on it.
Note: Manual transactions will not be listed here. If you want to link a manual transaction to a Reminder, please follow the steps in the section below.
Note: If the transaction you're looking for isn't listed, and it's not a manual entry, try changing the Account selection in the dropdown at the upper-right corner to the correct account.
Click Link.
Once linked, Quicken Simplifi will remove the Reminder from the Bills & Income view and match it to the downloaded transaction. The Payee and Category of the transaction will also be updated to match the details of the Reminder.
Note: If you'd like to link a manual transaction to a Reminder, it must be done from the transaction directly following the steps below.
Link a Transaction to a Reminder from the Transaction Directly:
Hover over the left panel and click Transactions.
Select the account where the transaction occurred.
Locate the transaction you'd like to link, hover over it, and click the three-dot icon at the end of it.
Select Link to existing recurring.
Locate the associated Recurring Series and select it.
Unlink a Transaction from a Reminder
Hover over the left panel and click Transactions.
Select the account where the transaction occurred.
Locate the transaction you'd like to unlink, hover over it, and click the three-dot icon at the end of it.
Select Un-link recurring.
When the reminder is unlinked from the transaction, it will reappear in the Bills & income view. Any changes made to the transaction's category or payee during linking will be undone as well.
