Gas Station Fuel Invoice

I have a question about invoicing and credit card sales transactions for a gas station/convenience store.

The vendor that I purchase fuel to resell from is also the same vendor that processes my credit card sales.

So I receive credit card sales daily from this vendor, less the processing/clearing fee.  

Each week though I receive fuel for the pumps along with a statement from the vendor showing the amount of my fuel purchases less the credit card sales  the store made.   For example, I purchased $18,000 in fuel and my credit card sales were $10,000.   So I still owe the vendor $8,000.   What is the best way to account for this?  Do i pay the bill in QB for the fuel and still enter the payments received via credit card?   

Thank you

Gas Station Fuel Invoice

Here is one way to keep income and expenses separate but accurate.

 

Daily create a Vendor Credit (not a bill) and credit the credit card sales income as positive and processing fee as negative. Weekly create a Bill for fuel purchases.

 

Then when paying the bill apply the credits available and remit the balance
