I have sometimes tried to just ignore transactions like this, but so far
the best solution I know is to use a category such as "Reimbursable."
This is a non-tax, non-budget expense category.  Income, whether advances
or reimbursements, is also processed with this category, where it appears
as a *negative* transaction.  This is similar to the examples on
pp. 129-131 of the MacMoney manual.
