Alternatively, in the business side, instead of recording the purchase
directly like that you could use the Expense Voucher interface.  This
treats you (the "employee") like a "vendor" in AP.  It's a little more
work than just entering in the transactions directly but it also provides
you with the business txn tracking features to remind you to pay the
reimbursement.

Enjoy!
