Bank Transaction and Line of Credit transaction

I have a line of credit at the same bank as my checking account. I download the transactions and in my checking account it shows a transfer (payment) to the line of credit I made but in the line of credit account it only shows the principal amount of the payment. How do I match this up and how do I enter the interest?

a line of credit is borrowing money, so the payment has to be split, part of it goes to interest expense and the remainder goes to pay down the line of credit

you can fix this with a journal entry for the amount of interest paid

debit interest expense, credit the line of credit account, back date to the payment date
