How are credit card purchases entered?

Post by Shelley »

I'm confused again...big surprise, I know. :)

I am using v.11.

We have credit cards, but carry no balances. Because we carry no balances, I have not set them up with accounts, just vendor information. I have a receipt from the post office charged to a credit card. I thought I could treat these like open invoices. Is that right? Credit the checking account and debit the postage expense account. What happens until the check is written to pay the whole credit card statement?

Blessings,
Shelley

Thank you. I think the last post in that thread is what I am looking for. I am/was concerned that it wasn't the appropriate way to do it because we don't carry a balance.

Blessings,
Shelley
