Quickbooks Pro 2012 for Windows

The + New button is for QuickBooks Online, catwingz1. I'll provide the correct steps for QuickBooks Desktop.

If you haven't yet, you can start by setting up a credit card account within your chart of accounts. It's an essential step before recording credit card transactions.

Here's a step-by-step guide to set up a credit card account in QuickBooks Desktop:

1. Open your chart of accounts and press CTRL+N on your keyboard altogether.
2. Choose Credit Card and click Continue.
3. Enter all required details and click Save and close.

Once done, go to the Vendor Center to record the credit card transaction. Let me show you how:

1. Go to the Vendors menu and select Vendor Center.
2. Right-click on the name of the vendor and select Enter Credit Card Charges.
3. Select the credit card account in the Credit card field, then enter the expense categories in the Account column.
4. Type in all other details including the date and amount.
5. Click Save and close.

After that, QuickBooks will automatically post the debit and credits in the appropriate accounts. You can follow these steps on how to view the details:

1. Open the credit card purchase/charge transaction.
2. Go to the Reports tab and click Transaction Journal.

Let me share this article, which provides additional details about this feature: Setting up, using, and paying credit card accounts.

After receiving your credit card statement, you'll need to record the payment for your outstanding balance. QuickBooks offers two primary methods for this, depending on when you plan to make the payment:

• Write a Check to pay expenses that are to be paid immediately.
• Enter a bill for vendor bills to be paid at a future date.
