Hi Grigoriy,
Yes, I agree that configuration is just template. I am considering usual practice with respect to amortization and for my business scenario.
Accruals generally for correct accounting practice and will be accrued and paid in future. In case of accruals business post accounting entry on month end and will be reversed next day (next month 1st day).
I am talking about the prepaid. I mean to say we have already paid (ex:$300,000) for which I will get service for next 5 years. It means yearly 60000 and monthly $5000.
Accounting entries
1) For prepayment
Prepaid Expenses (Balance sheet account) Dr 300,000
Bank account (Balance sheet account) Cr 300,000
2) Amortization accounting entry.
Upfront fee/Finance fee (P&L account) Dr 5000
Prepaid Expenses (Balance sheet account) Cr 5000
The same accounting entry need to post on month end ( no reversal on next period as like accruals)for all the future periods (60 months or 5 years).
I hope you got the importance of amortization for my business scenario.
Thank you for looking into this.
Thanks,
