Reclassify credit card charges from A/P to credit card liability?

Is there an easy way to reclassify credit card charges from Accounts Payable to a credit card liability?     Right now the client's purchases via Visa are going into A/P, however we have a separate credit card liability account set up where those charges should go instead.

Reclassify credit card charges from A/P to credit card liability?

I'm here to help you reclassify your credit card charges, Lana.

 

You can use the reclassify tool in QuickBooks Accountant Online for most of your transactions. However, there are specific accounts and features that are already being tied up that you can't reclassify.

  • You can’t change the payment account (bank or credit card) for expenses.
  • You can’t change the account or class for inventory adjustments since they’re connected to your inventory shrinkage and asset accounts.
  • You can change the class for invoices, sales receipts, checks, or bills with items (products or services) on them. However, you can’t change the accounts.
  • You can change the expense account for billable expenses, but not the income account for the related income transactions.
  • You can manage your payroll transactions in the Payroll menu.

Here's an article that you check out for more information: Reclassify or Move Multiple Transactions At Once.

Reclassify credit card charges from A/P to credit card liability?

I have been trying to use that "reclassify tool", however I must be doing it wrong because it is taking each entry I try to reclassify and reclassifying from the expense account (expense) to the Arvest Visa payable account (liability) rather than from the Accounts Payable account to the Arvest Visa payable account which is my objective.   Help!    

 

Thanks

Reclassify credit card charges from A/P to credit card liability?

Help has arrived, @Lana.


Allow me to share information about reclassifying charges from the Accounts Payable account in QuickBooks.


When reclassifying events, especially A/P account to the newly created one, QuickBooks uses its default A/P account. This is the main reason it goes back and unable to move to another account.


Instead, create a Journal entry to get this done. You can assign or transfer those amounts from your Accounts Payable account to the Arvest Visa payable account. Here’s how:

 

  1. Select the +New button at the left top.
  2. Select Journal entry under Other.
  3. Enter the necessary details in the fields.
  4. Click Save once done.

I’ll be happy to help if you need any further assistance with modifying accounts or anything else. Have a good one.
