Accidental use of corp. credit card

Hello,

 

I have a vendor who does work for two companies that we operate. That vendor used the credit card number of business #2 (Clu) to pay for work they completed for business of #1 (Pro). Then I created an invoice so that one company could pay back the other. Now that invoice is showing up on the p&L as sales/income but it is not. How do I correct this problem? I simply wanted one business to reimburse the other for the accidental use of the business card.

 

The card that was used belongs to a c-corp.

 

Help!!!

Thanks for posting here, @TammieV.

 

I'll share some information about correcting your vendor payments. You can make a vendor credit for business #2 and then create a journal entry to transfer the payments. Use the Accounts Payable for business #2.

 

Here's how to make a vendor credit:

 

  1. Go to +New.
  2. Choose Vendor credit under Vendors.
  3. Fill in the vendor details of business #2.
  4. Click Save and close.

 

After that, create a journal entry. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to +New.
  2. Select Journal entry under Other.
  3. Enter the offsetting Accounts. Make sure to choose Accounts Payable for business #2.
  4. Click Save and new.

 

With the above steps, you're able to reimburse or transfer payments from business #1 into your business card.

 

For more information about the steps, please check out these guides:

Hi ShiellaGrace,

 

Thank you for trying to help me. I genuinely appreciate it however, when I went to attempt these instructions I found that there were details in the creating of  vendor that I do not know the answers to. For instance, which accounts get credited or debited. When it came to the journal entry, I had the same questions. I do not know/understand enough specifics about the steps you lay out. Your attempt to help me assumes I know what I am doing and I do not. Now I am more confused :(
