Credit card transaction information: Transaction tab

Transaction tab field descriptions
Field Description

Credit card

Choose the appropriate credit card from the dropdown list. The list includes both credit and debit cards,

If your credit card has expired, it will not appear in any dropdown lists. Update the expiration date to view and select your credit card in dropdowns. Learn how to update the expiration date.

Date

Accept the default of today's date, or enter the date on which the transaction actually occurred.

Reference number

Enter the transaction number from your statement. This number appears as the document number in lists and registers.

Payee

Enter the payee name. The payee replaces the supplier field that you find on other payable transaction pages. In other words, the Payee field is a way to record a payment to an entity without creating a supplier record.

However, in certain reports, the payee is the equivalent of the supplier, and the text that you enter here appears in those places. Reports, for example, include a column called Supplier/Payee.

There's no 1099 function implemented for this page because the system cannot correlate the arbitrary payee you enter here with a supplier record on Intacct. And it’s the supplier record that you define as being 1099-able. Therefore, you must be aware that payments to a 1099-able supplier recorded here are not recorded as 1099 payments in your company and are not included when you print 1099 forms. If you need this transaction to be defined as a 1099 payment, use the full AP cycle in Accounts Payable instead. You can still designate it as a charge transaction there.

Description

Add an optional description. The description applies to the entire transaction. This text is for your information only.

Field Description

Exchange rate date

By default, the date of the exchange rate is today; however, you can override this. For example, maybe you’re making the transaction date other than today and want to match the exchange rate to that date.

Exchange rate type

If your company uses custom exchange rate types, the dropdown list contains choices for them, where one might also be a default. For example, your company could have Monthly, Weekly, and Spot rate types along with their exchange rates. Alternatively, if your company has not defined any custom exchange rate types, you can use the Intacct Daily Rate.

You can override the default exchange rate. For example, if you know what the exchange rate for this AP supplier invoice is, you can enter it in to override system calculations.

Billable

If you configured Projects to display a billable checkbox on credit card transactions, you can flag project-related credit card transactions as Billable.

After you associate a billable transaction with a project or customer, it appears in Project invoicing automatically.

If you're entering a transaction to be used with employee expenses, the billable field does not appear.

The label for this field might differ for nonprofit organizations based on settings in Configure Projects. Learn more.

Transaction amount

Enter the amount of the line item. To record a credit to the account, enter a negative number.

As you enter multiple line items, the Total field updates. When you finish entering multiple line items, the total should be the same as the amount listed for the line item of the transaction on your statement.

If Inclusive taxes is selected in the header, which is the default, this field is read-only and is automatically calculated. Enter the item amount, including tax, in the Transaction total field instead.

Amount

This field displays one of the following:

  • The converted amount if the transaction was incurred in a different currency from the card base currency.

You can edit this amount to adjust it if need be.

  • If Inclusive taxes is selected in the header, the calculation is: (Transaction total/(1 + Rate)) * Rate

If the amount of tax that was calculated does not match the tax on the tax invoice you received, override the value in Transaction tax field to match. What you record should match the tax invoice for proper tax compliance and reporting.

If your company is enabled for multi-currency, the amount is in the transaction currency you set for the transaction.
