Resolution
- Open the Payments journal
- In the drop-down menu (where by default it says "Pay Purchases Invoices"), select "Pay Credit Card Bill"
- Select the Credit Card to use under "Pay to the Order of" (ex.: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX...)
- You can enter charges under "Additional Fees and Interest"
- See "Additional Fees and Interest box is greyed out in the Pay Credit Card Module" if you cannot enter an amount in that field
