I'm really curious why there is any payee involved in a "buy shares"
transaction with no fees involved. I believe all the relevant
transactions were imported by OFX, either direct connect or file
import
(libofx, not aqbanking).
Any explanations?
Was it a recent transaction? There was a time when a payee was
required, but that was removed by popular request.
I actually found several more from 2014, but this one was just from
this April. However, if it matched to the older ones, I can see it
would continue to use the same payee as the older transactions. What I
still find odd is that I don't see any way in the standard interface to
remove it. Will I have to manually edit the kmy file?
