Expenses and how do to them

[philis1982]

I’m a Ltd Company and before Quickfile I paid for many things with a personal credit card, and then did an expenses claim and paid the money from the company.
Now, with the credit card on a bank feed, I upload a receipt and link it to the transaction that the open banking imports.
So far, so good. But I need to work out how much I need to pay myself - and looking at the forums, it seems I should be posting these to the Directors Loan Account - which I cannot do currently as I’m doing it using the bank feed.
So, do I disconnect the bank feed and just post all receipts to the DLA? Or is there a clever way I can create a monthly report which adds up all of these expenses and allows me to make a payment?

Hello @philis1982

A personal credit card should not be included in your accounts you would use the Directors loan account for this.

If you have a bank feed for your personal credit card, you should disconnect it.

thanks you
is there anyway to do a change all the payments from that credit card to DLA as a bulk - or do I have to do them all individually?

Hello @philis1982

You can move transactions from the Chart of accounts screen (max 50 at a time)

• Open the credit card account in the Reposts > Chart of Accounts screen
• Select the relevant transactions
• Click Move to new code
• Choose your Directors Loan Account
• Save
  (Repeat if there was more than 50)

lovely! that’s easy…
So, all of my purchases are now within the DLA (well the ones I bought personally). But, despite them all having a catagory ie. subsistence - when I look in the Chart Of Accounts, none of my purchases are there. Why would this be?

Hello @philis1982

Subsistence (7406) is an overhead code and it looks like they are shown correctly

thanks - silly me, the dates were incorrect in the search!
