I've searched the Q&A's regarding the proper way to record a monthly/quarterly, etc. space lease payments and I couldn't find the best answer. I would like to record my monthly rental payments for my retail shop. Will this be entered as an expense, bill, etc?

 

Thank you

Hi there, @Jshoplist.

 

You can enter a bill for the lease payments and create recurring monthly or quarterly bills for it. Before doing so, I encourage seeking help with your accountant to know what specific category to use.

 

Here's how to set up a recurring bill:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Online, click the + New button and select Bill.
  2. Select the vendor from the drop-down.
  3. In the Category details, select the appropriate account for lease payment from the Category drop-down.
  4. Enter the necessary information.
  5. Click Make recurring at the bottom of the bill.
  6. Enter the Template name, then select the schedule from the Type drop-down.
  7. In the Create _ days in advance field, enter the number of days before the date set in the Interval section you want the bill to be created in advance.
  8. Designate the Interval and Start date of the recurring transaction.
  9. From the End drop-down, specify if you want it to end that transaction after some occurrences, by the set end date, or to not end recurring.
  10. Click Save template.

Here's an article you can read for more details: How to set up a recurring bill.

Ok. I've set up the bill for this. If i decide to pay say 3 months, how would i reflect this on the bill? Will it still schedule on a monthly basis? Thanks.
