  • Do a bank transfer to pay the credit card
  • GL Account Code should not have any transactions for it to be assigned to a Bank Account (or a Credit Card Account).
  • Bank Account cannot be created by assigning a GL Account that has existing transactions. Begin with an empty GL Account.

  • Once assigned to a Bank account (or a Credit Card Account), the GL Account cannot be deleted within software.
