paying vendor using a credit card

I do this all the time. I go to banking enter credit card charges. I pull in the vendor then the purchase order and it all loads in. When I go to save it it a window pops up. It says please choose a vendor when using an accounts payable account as a line item. It pulled in all of my information. How do I fix this problem. 

 

Thanks Jolene

If you are paying the vendor directly, like you went to home depot to purchase, then you do not use accounts payable at all.  Just list what you bought and be done with it.

 

If you use enter bills first, then that sets an account payable entry and you must use pay bills to pay and clear the entry, just select the source to pay it from on the pay bills screen (cash, check, CC)
