How to Pay a Credit Card Bill in QuickBooks

Hi again, Ruth. The Credit Card thing is kind of nutty now, too. I went in to BANKING as you suggested and posted all the individual things I purchased with the credit card. That was great! Now, though, how do I post that I paid the credit card bill without double-posting the expense?
Thanks.
If you paid the bill via EFT/ACH, I recommend making a transfer from your checking account to your credit card account in Banking > Transfer Funds. If you paid with a check, use your credit card account as the Expense account. This will reduce the balance on the credit card to the remaining balance owed.

How to Get Rid of Sales Receipts to be Printed in QuickBooks

Hi Ruth. When I opened QuickBooks today, there was an alert telling me I had Sales Receipts to Print…WOW! There are a lot of them. How do I get rid of all those Sales Receipts that it wants me to now print? Thank you!
The easiest way to get rid of sales receipts marked to print is to go to File > Print Forms, select Sales Receipts, and print to a pdf. To make this stop happening, uncheck the To be printed box at the bottom of the next sales receipt you create. QuickBooks defaults to whatever was last selected so if you ever want to print a sales receipt you’ll need to check it again or print it individually as you create it.
