Put a card statement from Documents in the books

Open the statement in Documents and press Add its transactions. Its charges land on the card to categorize, and the card's payment pairs with the one from checking.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Open Documents and click the statement. Its panel shows the account, period and balances.

  2. Step 2: Press Add its transactions.

  3. Step 3: Under Account, keep A new account for a card the books don't have yet (named from the statement), or pick the card.

  4. Step 4: Press Review, then Import N transactions. Repeat for each month's statement.

  5. Step 5: Open Transactions and categorize each charge on the card, or split one with Split.

Good to know

  • A payment to a card from checking is a transfer between your own accounts, not a bill: once the card's statement is in, its payment row pairs with the checking payment on its own.
  • Rows already in the books are skipped, so adding a statement twice adds nothing.
