(Note: this piggy-backs on my 'Letter of Credit & Bank Reconciliation' question dated 10/28/2018 in which I learned that journal entries do not show up in the reconciliation process but journal items do).
It is not uncommon for business owners to put personal funds into their business ventures. One way that this can be done is to receive a line of credit from a bank, usually using collateral like a home equity loan. Toward this end, the bank creates a bank account (call it BANK 1234). If the borrower writes a check against this bank account then it essentially means that they are taking out a loan and, so, I have created a current liability account that we can call BANK 1234 Loan).
A journal entry would record a $100 draw against the Line of Credit as
Debit Credit
BANK1234 $100
BANK1234 Loan $100
As I learned, this entry would not show up during the bank reconciliation process because it it is a journal entry and not a journal item.
How does one create a journal item that records a transaction like that described above so that when a bank statement comes in showing that $100 had been loaned and a deposit made into the bank account it will have a corresponding entry to reconcile against? Note that my bank actually gave me a checkbook to write checks with for Bank 1234. If it simplifies the question, how is a journal item created that shows a $100 deposit into a bank account and a corresponding $100 increase in an owner's equity account?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Would you mind to talk to your accountant first in order to make your problem understandable? Can you provide the complete postings/entries when for example buying a chair against this bank account? A credit line usually simply leads to a negative balance on a bank account. I do not get your problem.
