I have basic accounting skills and would like to know if we are paying a member of staff for her expenses via bacs.. How would I post this in Sage Accounts.
There a number of ways that expenses can be recorded on Sage. For instance, you could set up the employee as a supplier and then post her expenses as dummy invoices to the appropriate profit and loss codes (e.g. stationery, travel etc). The BACS payment would be posted as a supplier payment to clear the balance on her supplier account.

Or you could just split the expense claim out into separate accounts (i.e. travel, subsistence, hotels etc) while still doing the posting through the purchase ledger.
