* A separate Credit Card Payable account can be setup in General Ledger and entered for the in the vendor setup (AP Setup, Vendor, Terms and Default tab, Credit card payable). If you do not have a separate payable account for credit cards, the Credit card Payable account (File, Company Settings, AP Settings, GL Entry Settings) is used, otherwise the Accounts Payable account (File, Company Settings, AP Settings, GL Entry Settings) is used.
Existing invoice: The GL Accounts Payable account is retrieved from the invoice distribution, is not available in the distribution grid and cannot be changed.
New invoice entered during Record Payments by Credit Card: Although the GL Accounts Payable account is assigned as the payable account on the invoice distribution and the AP transactions, no GL entries are created to the Accounts Payable account as it is a net zero entry to GL (a debit and credit to the account).
