If I am paying for expenses with an account not linked to Quickbooks, how do I properly record the repayment from a connected account?

Hey there info-grounduppav,

Thanks for reaching out to us here. Making sure you get the support you need is important. I would be happy to point you in the right direction for the best assistance.

Based on what you've described, I feel you'd benefit more by contacting our support team outside of the Community as we would need a bit more information from you. They'll be able to verify your account details in a secure setting, as well as view your screen to better assist you. You can reach them by following one of these methods:

Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?)Help in the upper right > type and enter "Contact support" into the QB Assistant > click Contact Us > explain your situation > click Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat.
Social Media: Facebook and Twitter

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.

Hopefully I understand what you are trying to do:

If you are paying for something using a credit card and that credit card is not linked to QB (to automatically pulldown your monthly  transactions) you record the payment made on that credit card by creating an entry to record the payment made.

Pay Down Credit Card  

Enter the details of the payment and SAVE. 

Ensure you have selected the correct credit card and the account that was used to pay (for instance your CAD Bank).
