QuickBooks tries to match downloaded transactions to any entries that are already in the related account. If you're trying to match the downloaded transactions with the Bill payments and it's already added to your register, you can follow the steps below:

Go to the Banking menu.
Select Bank Feeds and then Bank Feeds Center.
Open the Match Transactions window and from the Financial Institution dropdown, make sure the correct bank account is showing.
- Select View.
- Download and view the electronic statement.
- In the Match Transactions window, make sure the Show Register checkbox is selected.
Select the transaction in the statement that you need to match to a transaction in the register.
Select the transaction in the register to match it. Make sure the amounts match.
Click Match.

However, if it's a Bill that you're trying to match with downloaded bank transactions this is unavailable to QuickBooks. You'll have to create first a bill payment in QuickBooks to match them. You can use this link for reference: Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop.

As you continue working with banking or reconciliation, you can as well read the details from these articles as your guide:
