There is a hotel charge that I want to put as a personal expense

[dreed15]

Hello, 

I recently paid for a hotel for college students at an another companies event. The other company will reimburse me for the event but I need to put the expense as a personal expense. There is not a personal expense option when I look at the expense. How do I resolve this?

Hi @dreed15 ,

You will not find personal expense type in expense type list. For that you need to create a regular Hotel expense entry and then you can further itemize it based on your requirement. 

Refer below example:

1. Create Hotel expense entry of amount INR 100.

2. Itemize it further into 2 line items out of which INR 70 is spent for my own and INR 30 is spent for other person which I have marked it as 'personal expense'.

While itemizing expense type, you will get small checkbox 'personal expense (do not reimburse)' , you need to tick that check box if you want to mark any expense type as personal.

Note - Any expense entry marked as 'personal', will not get added into final expense report total amount.

If this answers your query, then please mark solution as accepted.
