Reconciling a credit card account when I noticed I had accidentally made a credit card payment on my bank app from my personal savings account, and not the business checking. Now when I'm trying to record the transaction, because my personal savings account is not in Quickbooks, I'm receiving this error: Use a credit card account to record a payment and a bank account to use funds to make that payment.
What should I do now?
Thank you!

I'd also recommend consulting an accounting professional for the best possible way in handling this kind of transaction.
