Sage 50 Tips & Tricks

Scenario: You want to pay a vendor with a credit card.

Using an example:
If you purchase from XYZ Company and pay with a Chase Visa credit card, XYZ Company considers the invoice paid because Chase Visa remits the funds on your behalf. However, this does not eliminate your liability—it simply shifts it. You now owe the payment to Chase Visa instead of to XYZ Company.

This creates what may look like a “double transaction”:

The vendor (XYZ Company) is marked paid.

The liability remains, but it is now owed to the credit card issuer (Chase Visa).

Solution:

Step 1 – Enter the Original Vendor Invoice (XYZ Company)

Receive the invoice from XYZ Company.
To track the expense under the vendor’s name, enter the invoice in Sage using XYZ Company as the vendor.
Record the payment to GL Account 99991 – Transfer to Card.GL Account 99991 can be used as an expense account. It should always have a zero balance at the end of this transfer.

Step 2 – Record the Chase Visa Liability

Enter a new invoice in Sage under Accounts Payable – Chase Visa for the same amount as the XYZ Company invoice. When posting this invoice, use GL Account 99991 – Transfer to Card as the expense account . This clears the temporary balance from Step 1 and brings GL 99991 back to zero.

Step 3 – Pay the Chase Visa Account

Pay the Chase Visa balance using your preferred payment method. You will always be able to view the Chase Visa account on your Accounts Payable list to see how much you owe.

Problem: When updating to 2026 the run utility would freeze

Solution: Backup your company to an external hard drive and restore.
