We have two (2) options to clear the open balance in QuickBooks, Dishop64.
After you reconcile your credit card account, we can either write a check to pay the charges that need to be paid immediately. Or enter a bill for vendor bills to be paid in the future. This way, we can zero out the outstanding balance.
Here's how to write a check:
- Go to the Banking menu and then select Write Checks.
- On the Bank Account field, select the correct account the money will be taken from.
- From the Pay To The Order Of drop-down menu, choose the name of the vendor.
- Select the correct date.
- Enter the necessary details.
- Once done, select Save & Close.
If you'd like to create a bill, here are the steps:
- Go to the Vendors menu and then select Enter Bills.
- Select the name of the vendor.
- Choose the correct date.
- Enter the necessary details.
- Select Save & Close.
For more details in tracking the charges and payments you made using your credit card, I encourage you to browse this article: Set Up, Use, And Pay Credit Card Accounts.
Additionally, I've included an article that can help you review your past reconciliations in QuickBooks Desktop. This will serve as a guide to find discrepancies and other issues: Previous Reconciliation Report.
We always got your back. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
