How to handle purchases paid by credit card

January 16th, 2011 No comments

In Syteline, when you pay for a purchase from a vendor with a credit card, you want to be able to show the purchase under the Purchase Vendor, but the payment will need to be remitted to the Credit Card Vendor.  How to handle this in Syteline?

A possible solution is to create a Bank Code for Credit Card. The cash account should be some type of clearing account. You will need to add a bank rec for type “Check” to set the starting check number for this new bank code. Receive and voucher the purchase order as normal. Post the voucher. Go into A/P Payments and add a payment record for the vendor using the Credit Card Bank Code. Either go to Quick and select the voucher that was paid by credit card, or go to Distributions and add the voucher there. Process A/P Check Printing and Posting. Add a manual voucher for the Credit Card vendor for the total amount. Use the same clearing account for the distribution on this manual voucher.

This way, the vendors purchases YTD remain in tact, and the payment is actually remitted to the Credit Card vendor.
