The owner of our company has purchased/used materials, from the company inventory, for personal use. The materials have been put onto invoices (for the sales/use tax) and the owner wants to apply the balance of the invoice to owners draw. How can we mark the invoice paid, using owner's draw? Is this possible? If not, I would appreciate any recommendations on how to record this type of transaction.

Two options:

1) receive customer payment for the full amount. Make a deposit and select that payment. Drop down a line and under account type in the owner's draw account and enter the amount as a negative so the bank deposit is zero.

2) receive customer payment. Highlight the invoice, select discounts and credits. Create a discount and use the owner's draw account in the amount of the invoice.
