how do i claim an expense for direct debit r

Erryn

so each month, i get charged the reckon account fees, which come out of our business account as a direct debt, but i dont know how to claim that as an expense for this? because it wants me to put down an employee, do i just make an employee as 'direct debit'?
As our bank account balance on reckon is out by the service fees amount, i need to account for it

Presumably you pay all sorts of amounts for different purposes from your business account.  As such record this and any other direct debit as a standard payment:  Money Out > Make Payment > "New" tab.  At month end or whenever, reconcile in the usual way.
