Thanks for getting back to this thread, @BBF2. 

In QuickBooks Self-Employed, categorizing purchases has limited choices. You'll have to choose which category it belongs to. For more insights, please review this article: About SA103F Categories.

I suggest consulting an accountant to give you better advice on the category you'll have to choose in the drop-down menu. 

Moreover, let me attach these links to help you manage your QuickBooks Self-Employed account:
