USA Employee reimbursement?

[JamieVA]

Hi all. Stuck on how to enter this transaction... help?

An employee paid for a company expense out-of-pocket.
Instead of receiving cash back, they just want to be given tickets to a holiday event that is about the same price.

Is the event a public event where the public buys tickets or is it a company event like a holiday party that the company charges a fee to attend or is it what?

It is best for the paper trail to just reimburse them with a check and let them buy the tickets, but...if you must
Expense Acct.....45
Discount adj........5
Ticket Income..............50

Adjust whichever way it is needed so it all balances
