Based on a number of factors such as consistency of payment amounts and dates, you can have Quicken identify any transactions that appear to be regular bills. Quicken performs this check whenever you close the product. You can then schedule or ignore the suggested bills in the Manage Bills & Income Reminders list (Tools menu > Manage Bills & Income Reminders).
- Click the Bills tab.
- Click Manage Reminders.
- Choose Options > Suggest Reminders > Suggest Reminders based on my past activity.
Quicken scans your transactions and lists new candidate bills and deposits under the Schedule These? heading at the bottom of the Manage Bills & Income Reminders list (Tools menu > Manage Bills & Income Reminders).
- If necessary, scroll to view transactions listed below the Schedule These? heading.
- You can review the proposed bills and deposits and accept them on an individual basis, or you can reject the entire group by right-clicking in the transactions list and choosing Reject all candidate transactions.
- To have Quicken automatically check for recurring bills on an ongoing basis, choose Options > Suggest Reminders > Review my accounts for reminders to suggest.
