Transaction : Recorded credit card fee expense for December, $846.60. M78.
(Debit credit card fee expense, and credit cash)

1. Since its Memorandom, I thought I should put it on General Journal.

However, When I get to post it, there is only 2 lines left for Cash ledger, and those two lines are for Cash Payment Journal's cash credit and Cash Reciept Journal's Cash debit.
that means I can not put cash in General Journal.

2. Therefore I tried to put it on Cash Payment Journal
However, on the CP journal, there is no space for Doc. number. Instead, they have check number on it. Therefore I am unable to put M78.


What should I do?

Thats right, exactly what you did, Debit Credit Card Fee Exp. and Credit Cash and yes, it goes into the General Journal

Hint -- ALL M's go into the general journal

All C's go into the Cash Payments journal -- C means check.

Since there's only 2 lines left in the cash ledger, you're jumping to the conclusion that this entry must be incorrect. That's a bad habit to get into. Sometimes it causes you to mess up things that are correct. In real life, we have unlimited space in a ledger and cannot determine entries using that logic.

Perhaps there is something else you've got in the cash ledger that is incorrect?

(I don't know the problem so I don't know. Just trying to point out the possibilities.)
