I should've put this disclaimer in place - still in training wheels in qb.
I'll try and better illustrate where I'm hung up, I'm sorry for not being more clear about my challenge.
I'm trying to make sure my transactions flow properly.


I pay $700 in permits by check.

I can turn in a reimbursement draw for that amount and get the money back.

So, I have:
Check for $700.      Decreases ck account asset       Increases Current Asset by $700  
then, on the reimbursement:
Note payable liability increase  $700     ck account asset increase $700

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I could pre draw on permits:
I'd simply draw $700 and have the title co pay it directly.

Note payable liability increases               New Construction Expense increases? or Current asset increases?
Am I missing a step?

Thanks for any help and replies. I'm inbetween accountants, so unfortunately, I don't have one to consult with on this aside of the kind people here.
