Hi, Esteban!
I assume these travel expenses are going to be reimbursed by your
employer. In effect, you're making a loan to your employer, which
creates an account receivable. This is an asset account, not an expense,
so it is kept completely separate from your own expenses.
Yes would be under assets. But we are discussing personal books, not
books of a business (accrual basis so can use business features like
invoicing). Probably no "accounts receivable".
If new to gnucash, keep in mind that the examples in the tutorial s=were
simple, not including all the possibilities. There can be other sorts
of asset accounts besides "current assets" and "fixed assets". Like
money you have loaned out.
But this is a special sort of loan, and I'd give it a name making that
clear like "pending reimbursements" (the parent) and under it you could
have child accounts for the "expense" categories << they are of type
asset, not expense, because not YOUR expenses >> IF (as is likely) you
receive reimbursement as the total of what you submitted, don't make
that parent a placeholder. Then you can credit IT for the total.
