A bit more information might help us. It sounds like you may be importing? If so, by what method? What revision of KMyMoney are you using? (Help>About KMM). Distro package or compiled from source? Have you considered setting up matching for the payee name you wish to use?

I don't know what the situation was for the original poster, but when I import OFX (I'll have to review my settiongs) if KMM doesn't match the payee to an existing one, it creates a new payee with the exact name. If the original poster does not respond, I might consider changing this to a wishlist for there to be a user option for KMM to never create a new payee on import. For me, it is much more common that I need to adjust the matching criteria for an existing payee than that I really need a new payee.

I'm reopening, but changing to a wishlist. The issue is that if payee matching does not recognize the imported field designated to hold the payee, it creates a new payee. Most of the time, what is needed is not a new payee, but to modify the matching for some existing payee. I would like a setting so that either no payee is created (creating a transaction which must be edited before accepting) or there is a popup asking whether to create a new payee or allow the user to choose an existing one. In addition (but probably should be files as a separate wishlist) whether the transaction matches or creates a new payee, the field used to indicate the payee is NOT included in the memo field of the new transaction, often losing information (for example, the particular branch of a store).
