Connecting multiple transactions to one instance that involves vendor and customer

I had an issue with some items (3) I purchased from a vendor. The vendor asked me to purchase new items from a third party store, provide them with proof of purchase, and the vendor would reimburse me for these charges via PayPal. 

 

For simplicity, let's say each item is $1. I purchased one ($1) item myself using my business credit card. My client purchased two ($1) items. The vendor reimbursed me for all 3 ($3 total) via PayPal. I sent my client $2 via Zelle for her two items. 

 

My QBO feed is automated for all checking and credit card, so all three transactions were captured. In hindsight, I would have purchased all of the items myself. What's the best way to account for all three at this point? I'd prefer to zero everything out if possible so it doesn't look like there was income or losses associated with this. 

 

Thanks

Hello there,

 

You can record a personal expense from a business account. Doing so will also ensure that your financial records reflect the accurate flow of funds. Here is how:

 

  1. Go to + New.
  2. Select Check or Expense.
  3. Choose a Payee from the dropdown ▼ menu.
  4. Select the Bank AccountCash Account, or Credit Card you used to make the purchase.
  5. In the Category details section, click the dropdown menu ▼ to select the tax category that fits your needs.
  6. Enter the Amount of the purchase.
  7. Click Save and close.

 

Then, reimburse the company. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to + New.
  2. Click Bank Deposit.
  3. Choose the Account to add the reimbursement to, and select the Date.
  4. Go to the Add funds to this deposit section. In the Received From field, enter the person who made the personal expense, then select the account.
  5. Choose the Payment Method and enter the reimbursement amount.
  6. Click Save and close.

Hi James, 

 

This response doesn't address my question. None of the transactions were personal. They were all business related.
