Resolution

  1. Open the Payments journal
  2. In the drop-down menu (where by default it says "Pay Purchases Invoices"), select "Pay Credit Card Bill"
  3. Select the Credit Card to use under "Pay to the Order of" (ex.: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX...)
  4. You can enter charges under "Additional Fees and Interest"
  5. See "Additional Fees and Interest box is greyed out in the Pay Credit Card Module" if you cannot enter an amount in that field
  6. This will affect the Expense and Payable accounts for that specific Credit Card
    • In that same window, click on Report, Display Payments Journal Entry to get the details of the transaction you are about to process
