Can I use OCA account "Prepaid Expenses" as the payment account when recording an Expense?

We have a vendor that requires us to add funds to our account to be used at a later time. The funds are added using our corporate credit card, and then used later on for different services. Once used, we'll need to move the funds used from our prepaid expense account to the correct expense account, or in some cases, sundry receivable since some transactions are billable to our customers. So, we need to be able to keep track of those deposited funds in QB, and then distribute the funds later on as they're used. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to record all of the necessary entries through the Expenses section of QuickBooks Online. Creating Journal Entries requires a lot of extra paperwork/review that really isn't necessary for what we see as a pretty straightforward transaction. Let's assume I deposit $100:  Dr. Prepaid Expense (Other Current Asset account) $100 Cr. Credit Card  $100 Later on, let's say I use $50 of this for a service that is going to be booked to our Legal Fees expense account. I can't seem to come up with a way in the Expenses section of QBO to move the funds from Prepaid Expenses to Legal Fees. If I try to record the entry: Dr. Legal Expenses $50 Cr. Prepaid Expenses $50 I receive the error "Something's not quite right here. You need to select a different type of account for this transaction". Why is "Prepaid Expenses" an option if QBO won't allow it? Is there any way to record this entry without resorting to a Journal Entry? Any help would be appreciated.
