Credit Card Charge

Thanks for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community, @GIE.

I want to share some insights about adding and paying credit card charges in QuickBooks.

The regular workflow when you use the Pay Bills option, is creating a bill first with a supplier name on it. Bills are Account's Payable entries which requires assigning a vendor name when used, otherwise it the system won't save a purchase. This is also the reason why you're unable to find a transaction without a supplier name when paying bills.

In your case, you can just enter a credit card charge without a supplier name, and pay it using a cheque transaction. Follow the steps I've listed for you below.

Enter credit card charge:

1. Click on the Banking menu, then Enter Credit Card Charges.
2. Leave the Purchased From drop-down blank.
3. Pick the credit card account from the Credit Card ▼ dropdown.
4. Select Purchase/Charge is the default.
5. Add the date on when the transaction happened.
6. On the Expenses or Items tab, enter the expense or item you paid.
   
7. Press Save & Close.

Pay the CC charge:

1. Go to the Banking menu, and then select Write Cheques.
2. Select the paying bank account you want to use from the Bank account ▼ dropdown.
3. Add a transaction date.
4. Leave the Pay to the order of ▼ dropdown blank.
5. Enter the amount of your payment.
6. Select the Expenses tab.
7. On the Account ▼ dropdown, select your credit card account.
   
8. When done, click Save & Close.
