Fuel reimbursement

[WarrDrill71]

Hiya 

My boss has reimbursed an employee for fuel from the business account. It now shows up on the bank feed. What is the easiest way to record this...just do a spend money?  What account would I use?  Should I set up an employee expense account (liability) or just post it to motor vehicle fuel? 

In the future should this be done through payroll or it doesn't matter?

Thankyou

Hello @WarrDrill71 

When doing an employee reimbursement, we suggest that you create a new pay item for the employee and pay and record it through this method. 

I have linked our Help Article on reimbursing an employee which has all pay items, accounts needed to be made as well as steps on how to process and record.
