Reimbursing an employee for picking up supplies with there own money

Question

I have tried several things and it always still ends up with multiple entries.. I am trying to reimburse an employee who picked up some supplies( From Staples) and paid with their own money. I have set up a G/L acct specifically for employee reimbursements, and entered the receipt into the suppliers purchases (under G/L Office supplies). But here is where I can not wrap my mind around the rest. How do I add this to the employee cheque, and have it reflect that the purchase invoice(for Staples) is paid? Is this possible to do that?

You could set up an account in payroll called "employee expenses", and then do a journal entry to move it from that account to the expense account (Office Supplies). We simplified this process by NOT doing it through payroll but through accounts payable instead. That way you have less work to do.
