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
