Re-categorize a transaction

Change a category when you disagree — and make it stick.

Auto-categorization gets it right the vast majority of the time, but you know your spending best. Overriding a category takes one click and teaches Sortlumo your preference.

  1. 1

    Find the transaction

    Open Transactions and search by merchant or filter by category to locate the line you want to change.

  2. 2

    Pick a new category

    Click the category on that row and choose the one you want from the list of 22.

  3. 3

    It sticks

    Your override is remembered for that merchant, so future transactions from it use your category too.

Tip

Because overrides apply going forward, fixing a merchant once keeps your month-over-month trends consistent.
