Credit Card & Web Connect Files

Nov 08, 2005 2 Replies

I have been downloading web connect files for our credit cards for several months. We had a late fee one month and it was charged to the main credit card (we have 3 different employee cards and one parent account that gets charged the late fees and finance charges etc...)



I have had no issue matching the transactions to the child cards. Now I have the finance charges on the main card. So I create a new CC account for the parent card and enter the fees. No problem.



However the web connect file for this main account also shows the payments made each month. It wants me to match them to entries in the register. However there are no entries for the register as each month I reconcile each of the children cards and enter them as a bill to be paid.



Should I just ignore these entries in the web connect file or how should I handle them?


Ouch. You should have made the parent account first and had each employee card as a sub account of the parent account.

You reconcile only the parent account. You pay only the parent card. When the statement comes you transfer the balances from the sub accounts to the parent account.

So any way to fix this now?

BTW, we never even knew there was a parent account until the first time we got lazy and missed a payment.
