How do I create an Entry for an Expense that was made from an Expense Claims?

Hi Experienced and Knowledgeable Users!

 

My situation is as below:

 

For January, my director had to pay our office rental through his own personal bank account due to circumstances.

 

On my side, I have made an entry under Expense Claims that the company paid back the rental to the director.

However, I am not sure how to create another Expense entry to match with the Expense Claims.

Please do let me know if I am unclear.

Thank You!

Hello, Denz. 

 

 Thank you for reaching out to the Community. You can use the Journal entry feature to record the business expense you paid for with personal funds. For the detailed steps, here's how: 

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. Select Journal entry.
  3. On the first line, select the expense account for the purchase.
  4. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column.
  5. On the second line, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
  6. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
  7. Hit Save and close. 

  

Please check this article: Pay for business expenses with personal funds. The scenario and detailed steps will help you understand the process.

 

I suggest to check with an accountant for the accounts to use and proper guidance.
