<p>Great question!</p>
<p>The purpose of the "Repeat Payee" match type is to reuse
existing payee names including changes you have made to those
names. in order to keep transactions more internally consistent and
save the user time. For example I occasionally shop at the local
grocery store called Food Lion. When these transactions are
downloaded from the bank the Payee is listed as "FOODLION <a href=
"/discussions/questions/0484" title="Discussion #0484">#0484</a>"
Where the <a href="/discussions/questions/0484" title=
"Discussion #0484">#0484</a> is the store number. It is easier for
me to think of this store at the Louisa County Food Lion and so I
change the Payee to "FOODLION <a href="/discussions/questions/0484"
title="Discussion #0484">#0484</a> Louisa County". Now the next
time I download a transaction from the bank that had the Payee of
"FOODLION <a href="/discussions/questions/0484" title=
"Discussion #0484">#0484</a>" Moneydance matches the old payee with
the new one and provides this as a match option. So by selecting
"Repeat Payee" Moneydance uses the same payee changes with this new
transaction. In fact the the payee, memo and category fields would
be automatically set for you. The purpose of this is to save the
user time if they often have similar transactions.</p>
