Charging a customer for a wire fee - QBO categorizes it as a check - how do I categorize it as an expense to the customer?

I want to charge our customer the wire fee that is a separate transaction in my bank feed to the money I sent to the customer but when I click on the "Add" button to categorize the wire fee as an expense, QB automatically categorizes it as a check. How do I make it an expense to the customer?

An expense is a type of account. A check is a type of transaction. Two different things, at least in the real world.

 

On the transaction - whatever type it is - I expect that you'd use the same expense account that you use for your merchant fees.

I appreciate your response. In the bank feed in QBO, when I go to categorize the transaction and click "Add", that is when QBO automatically turns the transaction into a check. The transaction is in the "Spent" column so I don't know why it is doing that with the wire fee. Every other transaction in the "Spent" column is saved as an "Expense" when I click on the "Add" button but not this wire fee.
