    Now let's get started with the exercise. As a reminder, here is the scenario: Craig would like you to categorize specific purchases from one of his vendors as promotional materials. He wants to review these purchase transactions before adding them to his books. Here’s what you need to do: - Create a bank rule in QuickBooks Online - The rule should apply to **purchases under $25** from **Hicks Hardware** - The rule should categorize these transactions as **promotional** and **not automatically add them to Craig’s books**

    From the left navigation bar, hover over Transactions, then select "Rules".

    We need to create two conditions for this rule: one with the bank text containing Hicks Hardware, and one for transactions with an amount less than $25.
