Accidentally made a personal purchase using a business credit card
Hi folks
Facts:
- I have a business credit card
- I accidentally made a personal purchase using this credit card.
- How do I account for it in MYOB?
I've read through some posts, which I found questionable:
- Suspense account: https://community.myob.com/t5/AccountRight-Banking/How-to-record-a-transaction-that-was-paid-wrongly-to-someone/m-p/702966/highlight/true#M9285
I don't want to do that because it is not a suspense account.
- Drawings: is to effectively treat it as a divident repayment, and then a capital infusion: https://community.myob.com/t5/AccountRight-Banking/Re-Imbursing-Business-Account/m-p/745178/highlight/true#M11848
Doesn't seem quite right either.
- Another post said to: Expense it and when the money is repaid, to undo. I don't like to see negative expenses like this.
- Accounts Receivable: is there any objection to the following?
To record the accidental purchase:
DR Account Receivable (Director to Repay) $accidental_purchase
CR Cash $accidental_purchase
And then when it is repaid:
DR Cash $(funds repaid)
CR Accounts Receivable (Director to Repay) $(funds repaid)
Am curious how you would handle it?
Do you wish to repay the personal expense?
If yes, use the Suspense Account
If no, use the Drawings Account
