How would I enter personal purchases made on a business credit card? I’m unsure which accounts to use. Thanks!

    I am not sure if Brenda was clear enough, change the account class to "Credit Card" not "Bank".

    My method is a bit different.  I like to choose "Bank" as the Account Class.  This will let you choose that particular account (in the example shown "Visa Payable-6742") from the drop down box beside "Paid From:" in your Purchase Journal.  For credit card entries, I make the payment method "Cash" and choose the card from the drop down.  

    To reconcile, you can choose the General Ledger for the credit card account and change the to and from dates to match the credit card statement.  Been doing it this way for a couple of decades and is my preferred method.  Or, to use the Reconciliation and Deposits module, you'll need to set that up on the "Reconciliation and Deposits" tab and follow the instructions.
