Why are my credit card charges showing up as General Journal type transactions instead of credit card charges?

Hi all,

When intially setting up my credit card account in QuickBooks I had by mistake set it up as a liability instead of a credit card. I did this because I was having trouble connecting it to my online account and set it up this way according to some recommendations I had found somewhere on the net.

The other day I decided I really wanted it set up as a credit card and not a liability so I changed the account to a 'credit card' instead of liability and managed to connect successfully after all, so thought all was well. I then noticed that all of my earlier charges are showing up as "General Journal" type transactions instead of CC (credit card) type transactions. How can I change these to CC type transactions? And how can I prevent future transactions from showing up as General Journal type transactions? If I eneter the charges directly into the Credit Card register for a vendor I have used previously, then it shows up as a GJ type transaction, whereas if I enter the charge via the "Enter Credit Card Charges" icon, it shows up correctly as a credit charge type.

Please can you advise me as to how I can sort out this little mess?

 

Thank you very much,

Christine
