Operating lease

Because an operating lease is a straight expense, the Accounts Payable application is responsible for posting all journal entries to the General Ledger application.

Example

Monthly payment of $1,000.00, including an non-lease component of $50.00.

Program creating entries: AP175

When created: After lease payments have been interfaced to Accounts Payable

Account name Debit Credit
Lease expense account* 950.00
Non-lease component expense account** 50.00
Accounts payable account*** 1,000.00

* You can define the lease expense account on the Payments form tab of Lease Addition and Adjustments (LM21.1).

** You can define the non-lease component expense account on the Components tab of Lease Addition and Adjustments (LM21.1).

*** You can define the accounts payable account as an accrual code on Payment Schedule Miscellaneous (LM30.5), or on Invoice Adjustment (LM31.1); or you can use the Accounts Payable application to define the accrual code.
