Thank you so much for posting this information. I'm learning about QuickBooks and while doing an assignment one of the sections I came across is on how to record expenses in QuickBooks. I searched online through many commentaries but some were too verbose and when I applied what I had seen in some blogs I still got an error. I loved how you explained this in such simple language and the examples you used were spot on and they helped me understand the concepts better. I also liked the fact that you provided the common error of not to forget to enter accounts payable as it one of the things that led to me getting an error. Thanks again! This content is godsend for me and I'm sure I would still be struggling if I did not find it. Cheers.

In reply to Mica Reinsch.

When you record credit card charges correctly in QB, you say (for example) that you incur $100 of supplies expense and now as a result have a liability to the credit card company for $100.

When you go to pay the $100, you just need to make sure that the $100 payment doesn’t get recorded as expense again.. INSTEAD you want to record the $100 payment reducing the credit card liability to zero.

If you use the Enter Credit Card Charges and Pay Credit Card Bill commands, BTW, you should do it right.

Nice post Beth. A good “Quickbooks 101” of sorts. Knowing how to properly use Quickbooks (or at least some form of expense tracking software) is definitely a “must-know” for any small business owner! Don’t get stuck in the past and track everything by hand when a piece of software can make your life so much easier. 🙂
