New to accounting and we reimburse employees through payroll for any product they purchase for jobs while in the field. 

 

ei.   Reimbursed Joe $200 via Payroll Reimbursement (chart of account is Reimbursement Payroll Expense).

          $50 was for a tool which would be job supplies / overhead and $150 was for product for a project.

 

Do I create a journal entry to credit the reimbursement payroll expense account for $200 and debit account: cost of goods and name: the project for $150 and debit account: office supplies for the $50.

Hello there, @kelly62.

 

Thank you for providing detailed information.

 

You're on the right track in creating a journal entry to offset the expenses and the employee's payroll. I recommend consulting an accountant to make sure you'll be guided on the process.

 

You can visit our Help article page in case you got other QuickBooks concerns, such as setting up advanced reports, online banking, manage reconciliation, transactions, import and export data lists, etc.
