[Murugan Mariappan]

You have two separate events, and you should keep them that way:
1. Cr: Income: Donation: $110.76, Dr. Expenses: Publix: $69.61, Dr. Expenses: Sams: $41.15
2. Dr. Expenses: Dinner: $30, Cr: Cash Account: $30

Subject: [GNC] How to enter this event

Please help me with this scenario



I am treasurer for a Lodge of Freemasons. How should I enter what follows?



We had a dinner for fund raising purposes.



A brother (member) purchased supplies from two Vendors.

Vendor A - $69.61

Vendor B - $41.15

Instead of a cash reimbursement he was given 2 dinners @ $15 for a total of
$30.



We want the Total Purchased ($110.76) to show as an expense for the Dinner.
There is an Expense account for Dinner

There is Income account for Dinner which should reflect $30.

There is a "Income:Donation" account which should show $80.76
