Work Expenses Best Practise

[StormOli]

Does anyone have a good workflow for how to handle work expenses. If I have a work expense transaction on a Credit Card Asset account, then should I set the opposing account to a generic work expense account, or should I be converting the transaction into a transfer to a "Work Expenses" asset account?
Once I'm re-imbursed, how would I then deal with this, assuming the bank transaction needs to be split between "salary" and "expense repayment"?

What I'm doing is this. I get my expenses paid with my salary (the same transaction). Expenses are stored on the credit card asset, like you. I have pay my credit card bill monthly, which is a transfer from my savings to my credit card.

Any reimbursements, I do as follows:

1. Edit the expense to go from a special "Reimbursement asset account" instead of my CC asset.
2. I subtract the amount from my salary payment.
3. I subtract the amount from the CC transfer
4. I create a deposit on my reimbursement asset account
