I've seen a few related posts, but they don't seem to apply to my
situation, which is this.

My partner spends $50 on an item. My HRA reimburses my checking account
for $50. I want to "give back" that $50 to my partner the next time we
perform our monthly reconciliation.

I came up with the following but it came up short. From my perspective,
I logged the reimbursement as follows:

    Credit: Assets:Accounts Receivable:HRA
    Debit: Assets:Checking

So now, my HRA and Checking accounts are perfect. Now, I have to get
that $50 to my partner.

    Debit: Liabilities:Accounts Payable:Partner:Reimbursements
    Credit: Assets:Accounts Receivable:Partner:Reimbursements

Then in the monthly expenses:

    Credit: Assets:Checking
    Debit Assets:Accounts Receivable:Partner:Reimbursements

Now, everything is $0 except for the $50 balance in Liabilities:Accounts
Payable:Partner:Reimbursements. I'd prefer to zero everything out after
the monthly expenses. Is that possible or is that unreasonable?

Thanks!
