Our non-profit (church) has a checking account, with debit cards for the few individuals who purchase items for the church's expenses. One of these individuals accidentally pulled out the corporate debit card when paying for lunch and the debit showed up on our bank statement. She then wrote a personal check and gave it to us for reimbursement of the funds. This has happened a couple of times with different people, and it has always been confusing how to record it.
There seem to be two major parts to this:
1) The expense being debited: I think I used 'bank fees' as the expense category previously to have a placeholder, since that's how I included a 'bank fees charged to donors' when a check was returned NSF. I want to make sure this doesn't affect our P&L since the expense wasn't actually part of our budget or expenditures. Is there any way to tie the reimbursement check back to the original expense/bill?
2) The reimbursement check being invoiced, received, and deposited. We don't want the reimbursement check to show up under the charitable contributions statement we provide for donations, since this individual is also a donor - we could insert an additional donor identity for this item but it seems counterproductive.
