How do I record an uploaded receipt as an expense paid by owner's funds

Hi Tomi3,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

Choose the Bank/Credit account used to pay the expense transaction. And for the account/category use the Partner's or Owner's equity. Then, when you want to record the payment or get reimbursed for the expense, select transactions type as an expense, and then in the category column use the partner or owner's equity account.

For comprehensive steps, you can check this link to learn more about: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.

Hi IntuitSheila,

The solution you gave does not work as I expected.

Choose the Bank/Credit account used to pay the expense transaction

I paid for the purchase using my own funds and not the business funds (or Account)

hence my personal fund/bank is not an option in QB.

1. To simplify my initial question I want to record the receipt (or expense) against the Owner's Equity.

2. As far as reimbursement - I am not concerned with a reimbursement. I am happy to increase my equity in the business.

FYI. Until now I have been following the instructions as per Pay for business expenses with personal funds. using the Journal Entry steps.

I now want to use the upload receipts feature so I don't end up with faded thermal paper receipts for proof of purchase

I'm guessing no one has an answer!

Unfortunately. I have seen this multiple times in the Community where the respondent does not read (or actually understand the question) but rather point to some links that is related somehow and isn't a solution to the original question.

Very disappointing!!.

Hello there, Tom. I understand you want to record receipts into your Owner's Equity using your funds. Let's work on this together to resolve this matter.

Since you purchased using your personal funds, you can't use the upload receipt feature when creating a journal entry. However, you can scan the receipts and attach them when making a journal entry to have a copy as proof of purchase.

Thank you Jeff_S for clarifying this process is not possible through uploaded receipts.

I will follow your advice and attach the receipts to journal entries
