How do I enter a credit card transaction in a credit card account register?
About entering a credit card transaction
The credit card account register works like a checking account register. It has a Charge column where you enter the items you charge and a Payment column where you enter the payments you make to the credit card company.
The balance of a credit card account register is typically displayed in red (because credit card charges represent a liability in terms of your overall financial picture). A positive (black) balance can indicate possible overpayments or incorrect adjustments.
