Need help paying off purchases made before i started trading

Before my company started training I bought some items for the business out of my own money. Now i want to pay these off in sage and balance it out on the books.

Basically i bought something from ebay for £330 and also loaned the company £90 for the rent in the first month. Now i paid myself back with a cheque for £420 and i want to show this coming out to me paying back the £90 loan but also paying for the ebay purchase.

Could anyone help me by telling me how i can make both of these in one payment from the bank area of sage and write both debts off against it.

Basically at the moment I have made a payment and put in the corresponding codes for each thing to be paid off and it pays off my directors expences for £90 but doesnt pay off the ebay purchase.

Hopefully someone can help.

Thanks

You do it as 2 bank payments, if they are sequential and have the same reference sage will merge them to one transaction.

£90 against the nominal code for the balance sheet loan account

and the £330 against the nominal code for the eBay purchase.

If the eBay purchase has been entered as a purchase invoice then make a supplier payment.
