Thanks to those of you who helped me understand this event. The issue is

Thank goodness to the ACCOUNTANTS in this group who kindly assist those of

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

 

 

 

Saludos Cordiales

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
