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 Gary Donates Money for Sam's Purchase $41.15 Gary Donates Money for Publix Purchase $69.61 Total Purchased $110.76 Gary Gets 2 dinners at $15 each $30.00 Total Credit $30.00 Net Donation $80.76 Thanks in advance for your help.
