How to Pay Bills Using a Credit Card (Accounts Payable)

This video explains the correct workflow for paying bills—particularly inventory-related purchase orders—using a credit card in 10X ERP. The process ensures accurate accounting by recording the payment against a liability account (credit card) and later reconciling it through standard payment procedures.

• Enter the PO, Receipt, and Bill as Normal to Record the Inventory Transaction
• Go to Accounts Payable > Bills and Select the Bill You Want to Pay
• Click “Pay Bill” and Set the Payment Method to a Credit Card (e.g., Vendor Credit Card)
• Choose the Appropriate Liability Account (e.g., American Express) as the Payment Account
• Confirm the Payment to Record the Liability on the Credit Card
• At Month-End (or whenever the Credit Card Payment is Due), Create a Bill for the Credit Card Vendor (e.g., American Express) for the Full Balance
• Pay the Credit Card Bill Using a Standard Bank Account via Check, ACH, or Other Payment Method
• Optionally, Use the Reconciliation Module to Reconcile the Credit Card Statement
