3.0 How do I record an invoice I paid for with a credit card?

You can record a purchase under the original vendor, but set the invoice to be paid to the credit card vendor using AP invoice entry.

When keying the invoice, you will enter the vendor the item was purchased from and the AP account entered on the invoice entry screen would be the AP account for the vendor that the original purchase is too.

Once added, you will then switch to the "payments" tab on AP invoice entry and set the invoice up to be paid by credit card. The vendor entered here will be the credit card vendor, and the AP account on the Payments tab would be the AP account for the credit card vendor.

For example, if I purchase a $20 part from Vendor XYZ, I would enter that invoice on the AP invoice entry tab to vendor XYZ under the normal AP account, then on the payments tab I would transfer that payable to the Credit card vendor and it's AP account (can be the same account or different depending on your setup).

Once posted, you would see an "in and out" under vendor XYZ and then an active payable to the credit card vendor.
