[Kmymoney] Credit card account entries...

[Ian Millington]

Here is what I do - I pay my credit card online.

 From either the account from which you are making the payment or indeed 
the credit card account select the "transfer" option. You will then be 
offered "to and from" options. This works very well if you are for 
example making a payment from your current account to your credit card.

Hope this helps
