You will have to add an additional account for this. Call it "personal reimbursment account" or whatever. Not sure what type of account (could just be a "bank account"). You would either make one transaction with a set of splits: $100 *from* "personal reimbursment account" *to* "Nuts and Bolts account" $100 *from* "business checking" *to* "personal reimbursment account" Or two separate transactions, which might make sense if there is a "delay" in the reimbursment (eg you don't get around to it for a couple of days, etc.). At the end of the day, the "personal reimbursment account" is normally at a balance of $0, except when you "grab the wrong debit card" and when you handle the reimbursment. > > Thanks! > > Mark > > PS The good news is I have only done this twice since 2015! > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > gnucash-user@gnucash.org > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see > https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
