How do I reconcile the profit and loss statement with bank transactions when dealing with reimbursement of personal funds used for business expenses

I have a situation where I used personal funds to pay for a business cost. The personal expenditure was performed in June, but I reimbursed myself in December. When I enter the expense for June it shows up as an expense to the company and then the check I wrote myself to reimburse myself also shows up as an expense to the company, so it’s double counted on the profit and loss. Also, when reconciling the bank account with Quickbooks I would like to split the check transaction to align with the personal expenses paid in June. Right now they are two distinct transactions and it makes it hard for me to understand what the Check is reimbursing.

These transactions were Owner Equity (Balance Sheet) transactions not P&L Expense transactions. You will want to change the categorization of the transactions accordingly.
