Thank you for joining in on the thread, @DMP2.

 

You’re on the right track. To zero out the sub-account balance’s you’d just need to make a Journal Entry. The Credit Card account needs to be debited to reduce the balance.

 

Let me guide you on how to do that:

 

  1. Select the Create icon .
  2. Choose Journal Entry.
  3. Fill out the fields to create your journal entry.
  4. Click Save and new or Save and close.

 

Note: If you’re using Sublevels and you use the Primary account to reconcile, don’t make entries. If you reconcile the Parent level and Split the payment to the Sub-categories so that each sub-balance gets its payment amount applied there. I strongly encourage you to consult with an accounting professional on which account should be used as the offset.
