Splitting business / personal transaction on a spend money transaction

Question

Hi again!&nbsp;I'm trying to link all receipts to transactions in the business account.&nbsp; I have a receipt that has 3 items and 1 of these is a personal purchase (using business debit card).&nbsp; &nbsp;There is a Director Loan account but I'm not sure how to split this transaction so the full amount is allocated.&nbsp; I'm VERY new to this.&nbsp;Thank you in advance.

Hi jetski,
&nbsp;
Thank you for your post. Allow me to extend you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. I hope you find plenty of information in this forum.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
We appreciate you expressing your concern to us. Regarding your concern on how to split personal transaction on a spend money transaction, it is basically, when personal funds are paid into a business account you would record a Receive Money transaction. The Deposit to account is the bank account the funds are deposited into and the allocation is a Director Loan or Owner's contribution type account. If your not sure, we recommend speaking to your accountant.
&nbsp;
For an added information that you can use as a reference:

If the business owes you money you can create a Director loan liability account in Accounting &gt;&gt; Chart of accounts&gt;&gt; Create Account. Select Credit card as Account Type.
 If you deposit personal funds into the business bank account, record a Transfer Money transaction, The From account is the Director loan liability and the To account is the business bank account.
 If you make a purchase with personal funds, record the Spend money/Bill payment transaction as normal but select Director loan liability in the Bank Account field.
 If the business repays the loan, record a Transfer money &nbsp;transaction. The from account is the business bank account and the To account is the Director loan liability account.

Hi Celia,&nbsp;Thank you for getting back to me on this question it is appreciated.&nbsp;Can I clarify, as I am still confused a little.&nbsp;I do a spend money or bill transaction for the 2 items on the receipt that are business andI do a receive money transaction for the single item on the receipt that is personal, from the director loan/owners funds account I have set up.&nbsp;Am I understanding correctly?&nbsp; Thank you for your patience.&nbsp;Juliet

Hi jetski,&nbsp;Sorry for the late response to this post. May I ask how you go on with this? As for your question, when personal funds are deposited into the business account, you would record a receive money transaction from the director's loan account that you have set up.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please contact us again if you have other questions or concerns.
