Payments

I have a very similar situation.  The owner has 2 companies and each has it's own separate company QBs account.  Company A is the Amex cardholder.  The owner used the Amex to pay for some Company B expenses.  For simplicity, the credit card bill total was $1000.  Company A total charges was $700 and Company B total charges was $300.  Instead of Company B reimburse Company A, Company B made a direct payment of $300 to Amex.  And Company A paid its $700 to Amex.  How do I record the entries properly in each company's QBs account?  

-  Do I enter all of the credit card charges including Company B's incurred expenses in Company A account?  If so, what is the appropriate account type/name for entering Company B expenses?

-  How do I make sure of clearing the balance sheet for each company account?

Thank you in advance for your help.
