Good Day,

 

How would one move credit card transactions in the credit card register to the  bank account register without deleting from the CC register and manually entering into the bank register ? I am using QB Enterprise Solutions : Accountant 24.0 

 

Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.

We've got some details to share on how QuickBooks Desktop works when moving credit card transactions to the bank account register, Sawas25.

 

The option to directly move credit card transactions into a bank register in QuickBooks Desktop is unavailable. The only way is to delete the credit card activity and re-create the transactions as Checks in the bank account. Let's delete the credit card transactions by following these steps:    

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate and open your credit card account register by double-clicking on the account name.
  3. Identify the credit card transactions you want to move to the bank account register.
  4. Delete each transaction:
    • Right-click on the transaction and select Delete Credit Card Charge.
    • Confirm the deletion of each transaction.

 

Then, recreate the entries as checks in the bank account register. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu and select Write Checks.
  2. In the Bank Account field, choose the bank account you want to use.
  3. Enter the details of the transaction in the check:
    • Pay to the Order of: Enter the payee's name.
    • Date: Set the date of the original credit card transaction.
    • Amount: Enter the transaction amount.
    • Expense Account: Select the same expense account used in the original credit card transaction.
    • Memo: Optionally add a note indicating the nature of the transaction for clarity.
  4. Press Save and Close each transaction.

 

Once done, we can verify the transactions in the bank account register. Let me guide you on how:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate and open your bank account register by double-clicking on the account name. 
  3. Ensure all transactions have been re-created correctly in the bank account register.

 

By following these steps, we can effectively move your credit card transactions into your bank account register. This ensures your financial records remain accurate in QuickBooks Desktop.
