is this entry correct?

[Caffeinate T. W. <moc...@ya...>]

I just set up SQL-Ledger-1.8.0. Trying to learn how to use it. I wanted
to add this transaction, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.

We needed a SSL Certificate (which will be renewed yearly). My partner
went online to Thawte and paid $125 for one with her visa. They gave
her an invoice after charging her VISA. My company will have to
reimburst my partner for the $125 later.

In SQL-Ledger, I did the following:

1. added Thawte as a vendor.
2. AP/Add Transaction:
   Record In: 2100-Accounts Payable
   Vendor: Thawte-10075
   Invoice Number: SSL2001
   Order Number: *** LEFT BLANK CAUSE NO PO ***
   ...
   Amount Total: 125   => 5795-Registration

   ...Amount: 125 ...Account: 2680-Loan From Shareholder 
   ...Source: PartnerName

My question for that transaction is, were those the right steps? Should
I have created a PO first via Order Entry/Add Purchase Order? If I
created a PO, it would have asked me to add in the
Inventory/Parts/Services, which isn't an inventory, but an expense. We
aren't going to resell the SSL Certificate, it's for the webserver to
use.

My next questions is when the company pays my partner back, for her
$125, how should that be entered? I would think via the General
Ledger/Add Transaction. Credit 125 1061-Checking, Debit 125 2680-Loans
from Shareholders. It wouldn't make sense to do AP/Add Transaction
cause she's not really a vendor. 

Is my thinking right? BTW, how is "Source" used in the GL/Add Transaction?
