Handling an expense another company is reimbursing for

Yes, Jfunk. You can record this transaction as a bill or expense and create an invoice for the transport company’s reimbursement. Allow me to provide additional details to guide you through the process:

To record the cost that you've paid from your dealer, you can create an expense entry or bill in QuickBooks for the $900 incurred for the transport service. This step ensures that the payment is accurately documented in your financial records. To record the bill, you can follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Vendors menu, then select Enter Bills.
2. Select a vendor from the dropdown, then fill out the required fields.
3. Select the type of bill you want to record.
   Expenses - Record a bill for expenses incurred by the business such as phone service, rent, and utilities.
4. Select Save to record the bill.

Once the expense or bill has been recorded, record the $900 reimbursement received from the transport company via PayPal as a bank deposit in QuickBooks, please make sure to select the same expense account you use in the bill. This will accurately reflect the inflow of funds in your accounts.

Please ensure that when recording the $900 as an expense or bill for the damage covered and reimbursement for the PayPal deposit, please select the correct categories in QuickBooks.

I highly recommend seeking advice from your accountant. They can guide you in selecting the best categories and methods for recording these transactions, ensuring that the reimbursement is properly integrated into your financial reports.
