Accounting Entries for expenses done by director on behalf of the company & later reimbursed

For Company (Pvt Ltd) expenses (Purchase entries - invoice in name of the company), the Director had paid from his personal account but, the same was reimbursed in next financial year. 

What are the correct accounting entries?

Thanks!

Which Entry need to be pass in Directors A/c

My name is ABC. If I am the Director of a  Pvt Ltd company, and the company's present total cash and bank balance is Rs.0, and I made a purchase for Rs.1,00,000 on 01/01/2024 on behalf of the company (bill issued in company's name) and paid from my personal bank account.

Question: Can I create a petty cash account in my name as "ABC Petty cash" under "Cash in Hand" head, then transfer 1 lakh rupee from another account created as "ABC Loan" created under Current liabilities in Balance sheet, then spend the amount to the vendor as a Payment voucher?

If the Director is also a salary person then we need to create a diffrent head or a pass the entry in the same head.
