Auto-categorize a vendor with rules

Vendor rules set the defaults Talisk uses each time a bill comes in from a supplier (its currency, expense category, and tax handling) so you stop fixing the same vendor by hand.

1. Go to Ledger › Expenses › Vendor Rules and click Add Rule (a rule is also created automatically the first time you set a currency or category on a vendor's bill).
2. Choose the vendor and the defaults to apply, and optionally have it auto-approve or mark the vendor's bills recurring.
3. Turn on apply to existing to backfill the vendor's current bills too.

From then on, new bills from that vendor arrive pre-filled. The backfill option rewrites your active bills for that vendor; it deliberately skips bills that are discarded, cancelled, or already settled, since those are finished.
