Hi there, Kiki2.

The system is trying to replicate on what exactly happened to the actual bank account. This is the reason why it still records the transactions on the bank account in QuickBooks. This is very useful when reconciling the account at the end of the month. 

On the other hand, categorizing the transactions to an expense account will have it post on the expense account as well. This option is available to keep track of your expenses. 

Overall there should always be two entries in QuickBooks. One is for the bank account (for reconciliation purposes) and the other one is for the expense account (for tracking the company expenses). 

However, if the transaction is not showing on the expense account, I’d recommend running the verify rebuild utility.
