Entering in a CC purchase receipt

Question

Hi. I am having troubles finding the correct spot to enter in a CC expense/purchase. Not using a CC to pay bills specifically, and not inventory necessarily, but day to day misc things (such as receipts for gas, meals, office supplies). Has anybody run into this that could give some guidance?

You can use either Payments (AKA Pay Bills) or Write Checks to record credit card purchases. Just change the cash account to your credit card liability account. Some people prefer the Write Checks screen because it's more streamlined, but I prefer Payments because then I can use the same screen to record an expense or pay an invoice. 
 If you don't want to set a new vendor for every gas station, restaurant, etc. you can set up a Miscellaneous vendor or, set up a vendor for Gas, another for Meals, etc. so you can set the default expense account on each one to make data entry easier.
