Paying for Purchases with a credit card

[hts]

I'm new to Quick Books and need some help. Here's the scenario:

I purchase items for resale from various vendors. I pay for these purchases with a credit card. I pay the credit card bill once a month with a check.

What is the proper way to enter these transactions?

1.
A. Receive Items and Enter Bill
B. Pay Bill with Credit Card
C. Write check to pay credit card bill

2.
A. Receive Items only
B. Enter Credit Card Charges
C. Write check to pay credit card bill

3. ????????????

Also, how do I enter the credit card bill, or do I? It seems to me that the items are already entered and all I need to do is enter any other charges (interest, fees, etc.) and then pay the bill. How do I show that the credit card has been paid.

Thanks for the help.

We have a slight problem with this... but here goes anyway..

A. Receive Items and Enter Bill = I presume this is not the problem, presuming that you are receiving a the time of paying with your ccard, so why not do the transaction A+B there?
B. Pay Bill with Credit Card

C. Write check to pay credit card bill - Rather than paying by cheque, have the money "transfered" from "bank" to Credit Card" acounts in the "Bank Navigator"?

Credit card charges are entered as Bank Service fees (or what ever you may label them).
I hope this helps

Are you paying the charges with a business credit card or your personal credit card?
