Hello there, kellyc33.
Manually added transactions within QuickBooks Self-Employed will automatically be posted to the Cash account. Instead, we can link bank account or credit card account in the program. Afterward, you can create a rule to categorize the transactions.
I see how beneficial and relevant to have another option when recording the expenses. You can visit our blog website for the latest features and product enhancements: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/blog/.
Let me also include you with the article about managing your business in your account: Learn how to get transactions from before you connected your accounts.
Comment below if there's anything you need. Take care always.
