Download OFX File - randomly renaming payees

[newuser]

Is it a known bug in the program where an ofx file imported into Money randomly renames payees. In my file, it seems to really like Autozone and has renamed about 13 transactions' payees to Autozone..the surprising thing is that the names renamed are not remotely similar..i.e. starbucks was renamed Autozone. Is there a fix so we don't have to download and then manually check each transaction?

It isn't not a bug and its not random. When you make a purchase at Autozone your transaction may be originated by Point of Sale (POS) identifier as "Autozone Store17 XXX". Your Starbucks transactions may have been identified as "Starbucks Store XXX". If you login to your web banks website to check your transactions you will notice it. Sometimes POS are different even within the store, i.e. each cash register will have its unique identifier.

My Money analyzes the strings and assigns each part of the string statistical importance, in this case "Store XXX" would be deemed more important than Starbucks and so both transactions would be brought to Autozone.

This matching could be adjusted or completely switched off through preferences, data matching algorithm is explained on wiki at see http://wiki.mthbuilt.com/Data_Matching_Algorythm
