Credit Card Transaction Grid

Field Description
Date This field displays the date on which the credit card charge transaction occurred. This is the date that is defined during the credit card charges import.
Balance This field displays the remaining amount of an imported charge that has not yet been added to an expense report. The remaining amount is the same as the original amount unless you have split an imported charge among multiple projects, categories, or general ledger accounts, and you have added some but not all of the charge to an expense report.

If you have multiple currencies, the remaining amount is in the transaction currency.

Example of splitting an imported charge between two projects on an expense report:
  1. You add an imported charge to an expense report. The original amount and balance of the charge is $500.
  2. In the expenses grid on the Expense Report form, you edit the row for the imported charge and reduce the original amount of the charge in the Amount field from $500 to $300. You enter Project A in the Project field.

    When you move out of the Amount field, the imported charge displays again in the grid in the Credit Card pane. The amount in the Balance field is $200. The amount in the Original Amount field is $500.

  3. You can now add the imported charge with the remaining amount of $200 to the expense report and enter Project B for it in the Project field in the grid on the Expense Report form.

    You can add the imported charge with a remaining $200 to the same expense report for which you applied some of the original amount, or you can add it to a completely different expense report.

Original Amount This field displays the original amount of an imported charge. If you use multiple currencies, this amount is in the currency of the transaction. For example, if a United States employee took a trip to Japan and used a US credit card, the amount in the Original Amount field is in the Japanese currency.
Merchant Description This field displays the merchant or description for a credit card charge, which is imported into Vantagepoint from your credit card company. The merchant description helps employees identify charges that they made.
Currency This applies if you use multiple currencies. This field displays the currency for the credit card transaction.
Payment Amount This applies if you use multiple currencies. This field displays the transaction amount in the credit card currency. For example, an employee took a trip to Japan and used a credit card issued in the United States. If the employee chose to not use the local currency when the credit card was used, the amount in the Payment Amount field is in USD.
