Credit card account
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
ID |
Required. Enter a unique identifier to remind you of this specific card's purpose. This ID is especially important if you do not enter a description, which is optional. Learn best practices for Name and ID creation. You can differentiate credit cards versus debit cards in both the Card ID and Description fields by using an abbreviation such as CC and DB. |
|
Description |
Enter an optional description about how this particular card is used. |
|
Type |
Choose the card type from the dropdown. For example, Visa or Mastercard. You cannot change the type after you save. |
|
Account type |
Define this credit card as either a Credit card or a Debit card. Credit cards require a Supplier ID and a Credit card offset account. Debit cards used to pay AP supplier invoices require an associated current account and SupplierID. Creating a credit card does not make it available for selection on the Configure Accounts Receivable page as a credit card from which you can accept payment from customers. |
|
Address line 1 ... Country |
Enter relevant address information in these fields. |
|
Financial institution |
The financial institution to which the account is connected. |
|
Status |
The default status is Active. If you’re no longer using the card and do not want it to appear in lists or dropdowns, select Inactive. To view inactive cards on the Credit Card Accounts list later, select Filters at the top of the list and select Remove next to the Status filter to remove it. To view inactive cards on the Credit Card Accounts list later, select the Include inactive checkbox. If you're using an account to pay for your Sage Intacct services, you can't set its status to inactive. Learn more
If you do need to set the account to inactive, go to Console > Setup > Payment info, and assign an alternative account for service payments. If you have only one account listed on this page and want to delete it, add a new account first. This allows you to pay for your services via bank account still as compared with a credit card. Select Add, and add a new (second) account. Then select Console > Setup > Payment info, and assign the new account as the one to use for your service payments. Then you can return to this page, and delete the old account. |

Accounting information
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Credit card offset account or Debit card current account |
For credit cards, enter the offset account to use to track the credit card liability. For debit cards, select the current account associated with the card. This account must be the same account for which the card was issued. Transactions post to the General Ledger account defined on that current account. After you save, this field cannot be edited. How you assign GL accounts determines how and where an account can be used. Use a unique GL account. You cannot save the account in the following situations:
|
|
Default GL journal |
Select the default GL journal in which to record transactions. This journal could be the same or different from the one specified on the Configure Accounts Payable page for paying AP supplier invoices, which is the default journal. For credit cards, all transactions (charges on the card and payoffs for the card) use the same journal. For debit cards, banks have different journals (Default Payables Journal and Default Receivables Journal) specified on the related current account. If you're not using dual-method reporting, you have choices for one journal. If you’re using dual method reporting, you have choices for an additional journal so that you can choose separate cash and accrual journals. This choice only applies to credit cards and not to debit cards. |
|
Finance charges account and Other fees account |
Enter any finance charges and other fees for this card. Usually, you want to post these expenses to the same account. Choose a default account for them here so that you can track them separately, and not have to specify their account manually during reconciliation. You can override this selection during reconciliation. The Other fees account is used only for credit card reconciliation and does not apply to debit cards. |
|
Default department |
Select a default department associated with this card account. Example
Say you pay an AP supplier invoice in Accounts Payable. The AP supplier invoice has an associated expense account and the Accounts Payable application also has an offset account that has a department or location specified for it on the Accounts Payable page. But, you do not want that department or location used for transactions involving this account. Instead, assign a department or location here. When you make a payment from this account, the credit card (liability) account is tagged with the assigned department or location, regardless of what you choose in Accounts Payable. |
|
Default location |
Required. Select the location for this card. You cannot edit this field after you save the account.
|
|
Disable inter-entity |
For multi-entity shared companies when inter-entity transfers (IET) are enabled. Prevents inter-entity transactions from being created in the General Ledger for subledger transactions. Transactions for this account that are entered directly in the General Ledger still create inter-entity transactions. |
|
For credit cards. The Supplier ID is the credit card provider. Associate the credit card account with a Supplier ID so that you can pay off the credit card in Accounts Payable. All credit card transactions (charges and payments) then go to the ledger for this supplier. Charges are totaled to become an AP supplier invoice from this supplier when you create a charge payoff. Use a unique supplier for each credit card account. For example, you have a bank named First Security and it has issued you two credit cards, a Gold card and a Platinum card. Set up two suppliers, "First Security - Gold" and "First Security - Platinum", and then associate each supplier to the applicable credit card account. You cannot change the Supplier ID after you save the credit card account. |

|
Use with employee expenses |
Enable this credit card for use with employee expenses. When you create a credit card transaction for this credit card, associate it with an employee. Then, you can include the transaction in an expense report. Learn more about using credit cards with employee expenses. If you have child cards, only set up the primary credit card account for employee expenses to avoid unexpected results like duplicate transactions, inconsistent bank feeds, and complications with reconciliation. Cannot see this option?
This feature is currently not available for the following companies:
|
|
Employee expenses clearing account |
If you selected to use this account with employee expenses, select an Employee expenses clearing account here. This clearing account is where the accounting debit posts after you create a credit card transaction. When you include the transaction in an expense report, assign it to the appropriate expense account. |

|
Last transaction date |

|

|
Edit login information |
If your login information has changed at your bank, edit that information here to maintain your bank feed connection. |
|
Reauthorize |
The bank might require you to reauthorize your account. You'll know if you need to reauthorize if you have a status of Auth required. |
|
Disconnect |
Only disconnect a bank feed in the following scenarios:
If you disconnect and change your mind, the reconnection process can take weeks to complete. If you're having trouble refreshing a bank feed, do not disconnect the bank feed. Instead, wait until you see a bank feed status of Partial success or Failed and refresh the bank feed. If you do decide to disconnect an account, Sage Intacct removes any unreconciled and unmatched bank feed transactions for that account. Any matched transactions become unmatched and the bank transactions are removed from Sage Intacct. After you select Disconnect, your bank is alerted that you want to stop receiving a bank feed. The rest of the disconnection process depends on actions by the bank. Depending on the type of connection, if yours is an AUS or UK bank, this process can take some time. For security reasons, we wait up to 5 days after the bank disconnects until we update the bank feed status. The entire disconnection process can take up to a few weeks. Learn how to troubleshoot bank feeds. |
