Question

Loan Repayment into another Company

Hi,

I require some assistance with a client's Loan repayments please.

The client has 2 companies A and B:

- A short-term Loan was made to an employee from company A

- Employee paid the loan back to the Company, But into Company B

I work on both companies' books, but in one company I have a loan Credit and in the other a Loan Debit.

How do I get these to reflect on the books of the Company from which the payment has been made originally?  I would like to streamline these so that we can pick up quickly if a loan was repaid or not.

Do I do a Journal entry for both Companies?  And if so - how would I do this?

Thanks!!!!

Just to confirm - the loan was made from Co. A and repaid to Co. B, correct?  And, Co. B will be reimbursing Co. A?

 

If that's the case, in Co. B, set up a 'Due to Co. A' other current liability account.

 

In Co. B, when you record the loan payments received, assign them to the newly-created 'Due to Co. A' liability account.  When B reimburses A, assign the same 'Due to Co. A' liability account to the payment.

 

Then, in Co. A, receive the payment from Co. B and assign the employee loan to the deposit.  This will reduce the loan receivable and all should be good.
