What is the best way to record a deposit made via credit card on a vendor bill?

Greetings, Imoran.

It would be my pleasure to answer any questions you may have about paying a vendor bill using a credit card.

You can go to the Pay Bills section to record the payment made via Credit card in QuickBooks Online.

Here's how:

1. Click the Plus (+) sign.
2. Below Vendors, select Pay Bills.
3. Below Payment account, select the credit card.
4. Choose the bill you want to pay.
5. Click Save.

I'm including an article with additional insight on this:

Thank you for your response, this is the way I did it, but I am not paying the entire bill with the credit card.  We just put gave a deposit to the vendor via credit card.  The remaining balance is to be paid with a check.  I did record it as 2 different payments, but was I want to know if there is a more accurate or simple way to record the deposit.  For example, when we receive a deposit from a customer on an invoice, I am able to record it directly on the original invoice as a line item without going into the receive payment link.  Thanks.

"For example, when we receive a deposit from a customer on an invoice, I am able to record it directly on the original invoice as a line item without going into the receive payment link. Thanks."

Deposit field is just available on Customers sales-form side at this time, it's not available on the Vendors side.

But I found this a very useful feature. Hope QBO will expand the Vendors bill-form field and add this feature (Deposit as well as Discount).
