Hi @jmajano,
I appreciate you sharing with us what you've done to resolve the issue. I'm here to clarify information about the Banking feature in QuickBooks Desktop.
The ability to export and import bank feed rules in the Desktop version is unavailable. The only way is to create the rules manually to categorize transactions.
Handling multiple companies requires some automation of other features in QuickBooks to save time. For now, I encourage sending feedback about the limitation straight to our product engineers.
