When to reimburse in an S Corp

" I started an S-Corp in November and made a lot of business purchases from my personal account, before the business account was setup.  Due to low initial profitability, I wasn't able to reimburse myself until the following year.  I understand Accountable Plan Reimbursals, but since the reimbursement funds didn't actually leave the S-Corp until the next tax year, on which 1120S would I actually make the expense claim - the first short year, or the following profitable year?

The itemized receipts are all for the prior year, however, the actual "loss" to the S-Corp doesn't technically happen until the subsequent year.  Just trying to stay legal and above suspicion.  Thanks."
