Hello, Dominick.
I'll clarify the details about the Bank Feeds feature and help you categorize and record your transactions.
QuickBooks Desktop's Online Banking feature deals with accounts and customer (or vendors), which is the entire transaction itself. That said, we're unable to use items on the Bank Feeds.
You can record the transactions manually in QuickBooks instead. Then, match them with the uploaded bank records to ensure your data in QuickBooks agrees with your bank statement.
You can create a bill or a check, depending on how the transaction happened in real life.
Simply click the Vendors menu, then select Enter Bills. Add the details of your transactions and ensure to add the items associated with your purchases. You'll also want to record the bill payment after recording it.
Or you can do it through checks by clicking the Banking menu, then selecting Write Checks.
After recording, start matching those transactions from the bank feeds. You don't have to select an account, you would just need to match them directly. You can check this article for the workflow guide: Add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.
Since you also need to track the cost, you can run a report instead of relying on the bank feeds. Simply go to Reports, hover on Vendors & Payables (you can also hover on Purchases), then select a report.
