reconciling credit card when a charge is reveresed

I recorded a business expense and it's amount due was included in payment to the credit card company. The following month, the charge was credited in full since it was made in error. I deleted the expense and now my credit card reconciliation is off by that exact amount. I did deduct that amount from the next month's payment since the credit card company issued a credit from the total due that next month. 

What am I missing so I can reconcile this credit card account? Thank you.

The payee is the vendor/company that charged and subsequently credited your card.

Instead of deleting the expense, you should have recorded a credit card credit (New > Credit card credit) when the charge was reversed.  At this point, you can re-enter the deleted charge, enter the credit and re-reconcile.

Thanks- makes sense. I  added the expense back. Is the payee the credit card company then who issued the credit?

I'm assuming so but just want to be sure.
