Credit Card Entries
====================

For Communards to be able to submit Credit Card Entries, an Accountant needs to
add a ``Credit Card`` that they can assign purchases to.

After Credit Card Entries have been submitted, an Accountant needs to review
the purchases and approve the entry.

Adding Cards
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

First we'll create an ``Account`` for the card, then mark the Account to show
up in the ``Credit Card`` field of Credit Card Entries.

#. Open up the Accounting Application and click ``Add Account`` from the
``Admin`` menu.
#. Name the new account(Acorn uses the name and last 4 digits of the credit
card - ``VCB Visa Card - 5555``). Set the ``Parent`` to ``Credit Cards
Payable``.
#. Hit ``Save``.
#. Go back to the Home Page by clicking the ``Accounting Administration`` link
at the top of the page.
#. Click ``Add Credit Card`` from the ``Admin`` Menu.
#. Choose the ``Account`` you just created and a name for it show up as on the
Credit Card Entry page. You can leave the name blank to re-use the name of
the ``Account``.
#. Hit ``Save``.

Approving
^^^^^^^^^^

It's easiest to approve entries whenever you receive a new statement. Print it
out so that you can cross items off the statement as you approve entries.

#. Open the ``Accountants`` menu and click ``Credit Cards`` from the ``Approve
Entries`` section.
#. You will be brought to a list of all unapproved Credit Card Entries, sorted
by Credit Card, then Date. Find the first unapproved entry for the credit
card you are approving and click the ``Approve`` link in the table row.
#. You will now be at the ``Approve a Credit Card Entry`` form. You can use
this form to edit any of the entry details before approving it.
#. At the bottom of the form will be links to any uploaded receipts. You should
review the receipt and ensure every item in the form is present on the
receipt. If there is no receipt attached, you will see a warning message.
You should ensure the communard has turned in a physical copy of the receipt
before approving the entry.
#. Once every thing looks OK, you can hit ``Approve`` to turn the Credit Card
Entry into a General Journal Entry, causing it to charge or credit the
relevant accounts. You will be taken back to the unapproved entry list. You
can hit ``Approve & Open Next`` to approve the entry and open the approval
form for the next entry for the credit card(by date). If there are no more
entries, you will be brought back to the unapproved entry list.
