Allday Consulting's Peachtree and QuickBooks Support Boards

Lets say for instance that a friend went and bought something for my business, whether it be purchases for resale or office supplies. Obviously if they do this on a regular basis and I keep writing checks to them, they are going to look like a vendor instead of a friend. How do I post these reimbursed expenses into Quickbooks as purchases or office supplies?

Something like that is really a question for your accountant -- and that's beyond the scope of these boards. All I can really do is tell you how to enter it into QuickBooks. The simplest way to do it would probably be to use Write Checks to pay for the supplies, as you have been, and (on the lower half of the screen) assign the checks to an Expense account called "Office Supplies" or something similar. Chances are, an account like that probably already exists within your Chart of Accounts.

In any case, run that by your accountant/CPA and see if it's OK with them.
