I am a newbie to inventory.  We are a small, all volunteer organization and I think we likely followed a non-recommended process. I need to figure out how to properly record this transaction in QBO.

A volunteer placed an order for an item we are going to resell using her personal cc.  I want to get the item into stock so it is included in the organizations assets and we can keep track of quantity on hand.

• I added the item to inventory and with a starting quantity and cost.
• I need to reimburse the volunteer (who is not a vendor).  I thought to write Check. to reimburse them  What account (category) would I use for the line on the check?

Is there a better way?
