Hello there, ladler1. Thanks for adding screenshots and enough details of your concern.
I'll show you another other way how we can record a transaction as a CC expense in QuickBooks.
Yes, you're right. We're unable to utilize CC expense when creating a transaction. I understand that this isn't the option you want to manage your money out. Since we're looking to create a specific transaction for CC expense, we can submit your suggestion to our product engineers. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
For now, I'd still recommend following the steps shared by my colleague above. Creating an expense type and using CC as a payment method or account can help us record the amount. As a workaround, we can use the Memo field and indicate that this transaction is a Credit Card Expense transaction type.
