Capital accounts and Expenses claims issue

Hello dears,

please i faced an issue with capital accounts, i’m using capital account as an expense claim, so when some of the partners pays something from his privte money i made new expenses claims and select the payer as partner “Capital Account”

when the company want to pay that partner again and give him his money back a made a new payment and select his capital account then i get three sub accounts (Drawings, funds and profit share)

if i pay any of these sub accounts, there will be credit in capital accounts report in the section of (Expenses claims )

so what should i do ?

thanks and regards

If you have followed the Guides on expense claims correctly, everything will function correctly and show correctly in the reports. Switch to English and repost your screenshots.

I do appreciate your fast reply,

really i followed the guide well, i made capital accounts and when some of the capitals withdraw money i made a new payment and select “drawings” when he funds i made a receipt of payment and select “Funds” and when there is a profit share i made a journal entry with the retained earnings and the profit share sub account

but the issue with me when i want to pay the partner back and give him his money which he spend "Expenses Claims " , i don’t know how to give him his money back

I know i should make a new payment and select the capital account then which sub account i should choose ??

Regards

Reimbursement to a capital account member is identical to any other form of drawing. This is illustrated in the Guide: https://www2.manager.io/guides/6898. As the Guide also explains, an expense claim by a capital account member is equivalent to a contribution of capital funds. That increases the capital account balance. A payment for a drawing posted to the capital account reduces the account balance.

thank you sir so much for your response, so please correct me if i wrong

so when i make a new payment to capital account to give him his money back i should use “Drawings sub account”

Am I right ?

Regards,

You do not make a payment to a capital account. You make a payment from a bank or cash account, posted to a member’s capital account as a drawing. The result is a debit to the member’s capital account and a matching credit to the bank or cash account.

@Tut

thank you so much

yes i make payment from cash or bank account to capital account as drawing

sorry for bad expression “to”

thanks so much :slight_smile:

I still think there should be a mechanism to “clear” expense claims sub-account using journal entry if that is what user wants to do.

I’ll add this topic to ideas so eventually this will be improved.

doesn’t this affect the capital contribution of the shareholder? because drawing meant reduction of this member participation, and that will affect his profits’ dividend.
am I right, or I missing something?

Yes, you are not taking into account the fact that the expense claim represents a contribution to the business by the expense claim payer.
