How can i enter materials purchased as there is no category listed

Hi there, @gjflooring.

I can walk you through on how you can categorize the materials that you've purchased in QuickBooks Online.

If you're referring to grouping your products and services into different categories, you may create a category for a specific product.

To do that:

1. Click on Sales at the left pane. 
2. Select Products and Services.
3. Click on the More ▼ drop-down.
4. Choose Manage categories.
5. Select New category. Then add the category’s name.
6. If you want to be more specific with grouping the things you sell, select Is a sub-category. 
7. Select Save.

However, if you're referring to adding an individual product and service for the materials that you've purchased, you can do that by following these steps below:

1. Select Sales from the left-hand navigation bar.
2. Click the Products and Services tab.
3. Choose the Add a Product or Service option.
4. Select the type of product or service you want to set up.
5. Complete the information needed.
6. Click on save and close.

This information should got you covered, gjflooring.

Please keep me updated on how things turns out or if you're referring to something else. I want to ensure you're all up and running. Have a pleasant day ahead!
