Changing an Account Payable via GJE

May 15, 2007 0 Replies

One of our NPO board members originally submitted a request for reimbursement of an expense he paid. At the time we did the usual, debiting the expense, and crediting the A/P. Following that, we issued a reimbursement check which had the effect of debiting (and canceling) the payable, and crediting cash. So far nothing to worry about.



Several months later, the reimbursement check was still outstanding. The Board member stated that he had lost the check, but that we should consider it a donation.



From an accounting standpoint, I would then delete the check, and re-enter it as a zero amount voided check. I did so - no problems



What I want to do now is to make a GJE of the form:



A/P xxxx Contributions xxxx



When I use the GJE entry screen, I'm told I must have a vendor to make a GJE entry to A/P. I don't see how this is done. Or is there a better way?
