## The list

**Where in Bookalyze:** Accounting → Customers & vendors

## A contact

- Email, phone, tax number, address and notes.
- Totals for this financial year and all time.

- [Transactions: review, categorise, split, copy, remove](https://bookalyze.com/guides/transactions.md): Every line that moves money in or out of a bank, card or cash account, in one list. Categorise straight on the list, split across categories, copy one that repeats, and tick it reviewed.
- [Bank rules: categorise the routine automatically](https://bookalyze.com/guides/bank-rules.md): A rule puts every bank line whose description contains some words into a category, as it arrives. Bookalyze also suggests rules for payees you keep categorising the same way.
