Paying with Credit Cards

When you make purchases with a credit card, the easiest way to record those charges in your company file is by signing up for online banking (page 496) and downloading your transactions (page 499). But you can also enter credit charges manually.

Tip

Whether you download charges or not, entering charges manually is a great way to catch erroneous or fraudulent charges that appear on your statement. For example, after entering your charges manually, you can download the charges from your credit card company. If you see additional charges that don't match the ones you entered, either you forgot a charge, or there's an error in your account.

Entering credit card charges is similar to writing checks except that you work in the Enter Credit Card Charges dialog box, shown in Figure 10-18. To open it, choose BankingRecord Credit Card ChargesEnter Credit Card Charges. You can also enter charges directly in the credit card account register, just as you do checks (page 295).

If you want to track the specific vendors, type their names in the Memo field. In the Ref. No. field, you can type your receipt number. Allocating a charge to multiple accounts or to a customer works the same as for checks (page 296).
