Pay someone back
When you pay back someone who covered an expense personally, record it against the bank payment that went to them:
- Go to Ledger › Banking › Transactions and click Match on the payment leaving your account (a money-out line).
- In the Record repayment block, click Repay {name} · owed {balance}.
- In the sheet, confirm the Repayment amount (you can split it across their accounts) and record it.
Talisk pays down what the business owes that person and marks the bank line matched. Because it's a balance paydown, it settles their running balance rather than particular bills.
Note this starts from the bank line, not the People balances panel: the outgoing payment needs to be in your books (imported or connected) first.
Good to know: You record a repayment from the bank line that paid the person, not from the
People balances panel, so the money-out transaction has to be in your books
first. A repayment pays down their running balance overall; it isn't tied to
specific bills.
