Reiubursed expensed cannot account as income as you have sepent it in adhoc on behalf of Pertolium Company.

So better u treat like this

While spending the amount you debit Petolium company and Credit BAnk/Cash.

and When you get reiumbersed you

Give credit to that pertolium Company and Debit Bank/Cash
