Based on the setup shown in the images, have I understood how Bank Rules work correctly, or am I missing something? The rule I created is not applying as expected—did I overlook anything?
Yes, you seem to have overlooked the fact that bank rules are applied to statements you import, not descriptions you enter yourself.

“No, that’s not the case. The data you see in the screenshot was not entered or written by me. I imported the bank statement downloaded from my online banking account. Therefore, the other side of the entry remains, and I want to apply bank rules to allocate it to the appropriate account based on the condition.”
If you did not create the bank rule before importing the bank statement, all will go to suspense. The bank rule will not apply, only on new imports. Better is to go to history and undo the bank import and redo it when the bank rule exists.

“Thank you for your help!
But now I created the bank rule first before importing the bank statement, but it still didn’t work.”
Did you undo the earlier bank statement import? Also please show the “Edit Screen” of the relevant Suspense Account (click on amount in Summary screen next to Suspense and select the account with “Purchase from”
The way I usually do it is that under Receipts tab and similar Payments tab, whenever some have not been categorized to click on the blue link, see screenshot.
This would result in a list, in this example only 1 item:
There on the right under “Description” you will see for each line a button New Receipt Rule. Click on that and edit so it becomes like your own:
After clicking create you would see the follwoing screen, where you need to select the newly categorized item(s) and click the blue Batch update button.
That’s it. Then whenever importing a new bank statement it will show a similar screen where it either has already applied the rules or where some need new rules or being edited before you Click batch update.
By the way if it does not work make sure you go to settings and delete all the receipts and payment rules and start again. The initial process is one by one as I explained but every subsequent import will get quicker and quicker because more items will be assigned before batch update.
I have followed all the steps as you can see, but it still hasn’t worked 
.
“When I opened the updated payment and reviewed the entry, it appeared correct 
and was indeed posted to the expense as per the bank rule. However, this does not reflect in the summary or accounts as mentioned above 
.”
Sorry and thank you for your support 
Everything is okay I was need to edit summary dashboard
