Used Personal Card for Business Expense - Also Business Expense Will Be Reimbursed - How to Record?

I am sorry if this has already been addressed.  I couldn't find a solution to this.

 

- I booked 3 flights this morning for business conferences in different cities for different clients

- I used my personal credit card to buy the flights because I wanted the miles and my business card doesn't have miles

-  I need to record these as business expenses and then reimburse myself to pay the credit card

- Each of my clients is going to be reimbursing the business for the flights in the coming month or two

 

so, how do I record all of this? I need to record the expense for the flights, the money going out to pay the personal card back, and then the reimbursement from the client when that happens.

 

Help! :)

Used Personal Card for Business Expense - Also Business Expense Will Be Reimbursed - How to Record?

Hello there, @UtahGolf801.

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community. This isn't the type of feelings that I expect you to have, and we know how much time it can take when something isn’t working the way you need it. 

 

Since the expenses are reimbursable, you might want to set them up as a vendor. You can create individual vendor profiles or one for the whole team. Here's how:

  1. Select Expenses on the left menu and go to the Vendor tab.
  2. Click the New vendor button and set up the profile.
  3. Click Save.

Reimbursements expenses to your company. You can record the reimbursements as Expenses or Bill:

  1. Click the Create menu (+) at the top and select Expense or Bill.
  2. Enter your reimbursement details.
  3. Click Save and close.

If you use Bill, you still need to create a bill payment:

  1. Open the bill and click the Make payment button.
  2. Make sure you choose the correct Bank account.
  3. Mark the bill you want to pay under Outstanding Transactions.
  4. Ensure the AMOUNT PAID is correct.
  5. Click Save and close.

I'd also recommend reaching out to your accountant when recording your expenses. They might have a better way of doing this.
