No.

If you are being reimbursed it means you laid out funds for an expense 
that was shared with somebody else. At THAT time you should have entered 
a split transaction, say crediting your bank account and debiting 
"vacation" (expense) and "loaned to friend" (asset). Then when your 
friend pays you back, debit bank account and credit this loan to you.
