How do I enter a manual credit card payment made to American Express paying 3 bills?

We can record this through expense transactions and use the Pay Down a Credit Card feature to track the payment, Icvmcva.

 

Since this single payment addresses three different charges, we need to break it down into the line items in the Expense transaction.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the + Create in the left navigation bar and select Expense.
  2. Select the vendor in the Payee field.
  3. Enter the American Express from the Payment account.
  4. Choose the Payment Date, Payment Method
  5. In the Item details section, itemize the three charges for the specific products and services. 
  6. Then click Save and Close.

 

Next, follow these steps to record the credit card payment.

 

  1. Click again on the + Create, then select Pay down credit card.
  2. Enter the credit card (American Express) in the Credit Card Account field.
  3. Enter the Payee, Amount, and Date.
  4. In the Payment Account field, select the bank account used for the payment.
  5. Click Save and Close once done.
