Applicable Scenarios

You process expenses paid by a corporate credit card if you want to track payments to vendors.

Payments with Corporate Cards

To process a payment by using a corporate credit card for a bill, on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form, you process a bill for the vendor that represents the card issuer, and then enter a payment for this bill on the Checks and Payments (AP302000) form, specifying the credit card cash account for the payment.

At the end of the financial period, you receive a statement for the corporate credit card from the bank. On the Bills and Adjustments form, you create an AP bill in the amount of the statement and specify the accrued liability account as the expense account of the bill.

You pay the credit card bill by processing an AP payment for the credit card bill from the cash account your company uses to pay for the credit card, such as a checking account.

You can reconcile the balance of the credit card (that is, the balance of the accrued liability cash account) with the credit card statement in the same way as you reconcile balanced for regular cash accounts.
