I might have a way to record these transactions in QuickBooks Online, gourmetantojitos.
Although mixing business and personal transactions are not recommended, it still happens sometimes. Here's the flow that we can follow based on your scenario:
- Create a bank account that represents your personal account.
- Pay the outstanding vendor invoice using the personal account.
- Reimburse your personal account using the business one.
Here's how to create a personal bank account:
- Select Accounting on the left menu and go to the Chart of Accounts tab.
- Click the New button and select the Account and Detail Types.
- Enter the Name and other details.
- In the Balance field enter $2000 and click Save and Close.
Here's how to pay the outstanding vendor invoice:
- Open the outstanding vendor invoice (bill) and click the Make payment button.
- Select your personal account in the Bank/Credit account field to pay the bill.
- Click Save and close.
Here's how to reimburse your personal account:
- Click the Create (+) menu at the top and select Expense or Check.
If you have the new QBO interface, you can click the +New button on the left menu.
- In the Bank Account field, enter your business bank account.
- Go to the Category details section and select your personal bank account in the CATEGORY column.
- Enter the reimbursable amount in the AMOUNT column.
- Click Save and close.

Though that's how we do it in QuickBooks Online, I'd still recommend consulting your accountant about this. They can share other options that might work for your business setup.
