Hi infochambersserv, thanks for joining us here on the Community

 

If you haven't already, you can create a liability account within your Chart of Accounts to track this loan by going to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > New > Select the relevant account and detail type from the drop-downs and re-name this to how you wish this to appear. 

 

Once you've created this account, you can record paying the loan to the employee using an expense transaction (+ New > Expense) - entering the date and bank account this was paid from under 'payment account', and selecting the liability account under 'category' on the item details line, along with the total amount paid. 

 

When the employee pays this back, you can record this using a bank deposit (+ New > Bank deposit), selecting the liability account under 'add funds to this transaction'. 

 

Get back to us below if you have any questions. 🙂
