How to Apply a Credit for a Reimbursable Expense to an Invoice in QuickBooks for Nonprofits
Published 03/14/2010 | 
I work for a nonprofit company. We have members who pay for supplies, and instead of a reimbursement they want it applied to their monthly dues. I have to record, so it first of all shows the company is paying for supplies for meeting, second to record the money they spent against AR monthly dues. What do I do? Thank you!
Using a credit memo might do the trick. Credit memos normally reduce revenue, but the instructions below will leave your dues revenue at the original amount and instead increase your supplies expense.
- Go to Lists > Item List and create an item for the reimbursement. Map the item to your supplies expense account.
- Go to Customers > Create Credit Memo's/Refund and enter a credit memo for the reimbursable expense using the item created above. You'll get an error message that the item you're using is associated with an expense account. Normally, that's a problem but in this case that's exactly what you want.
- After you save the credit memo, you'll get a popup screen asking how you want to apply it. Select Apply to an invoice. Check the invoice you want to apply it to and click Done.
