How Do I Schedule Accrual Book Entries?

For SponsorsBy Syndelo

How to record costs or income before the bill or payment arrives, with automatic reversal dates.

Use Scheduled Book Entries to record a cost you owe or income you earned before the bill or cash arrives. Each entry has an entry date and a reversal date, and another finance reviewer approves the schedule. It is on the Accounting tab of Money.

Steps

  1. Upload the signed agreement or invoice to the investment's documents.
  2. Go to Money, open Accounting, and choose the Investment.
  3. Under Scheduled Book Entries, click Plan Book Entries.
  4. Choose the Entry Type: Cost Owed, Bill Not Yet Received or Income Earned, Not Yet Paid.
  5. Enter the Agreement or Service Reference, pick the Supporting Document, and explain Why This Entry Is Needed.
  6. For each entry, enter the Entry Date, Reversal Date, and Amount. Click Add Entry for more (up to 60).
  7. Click Send for Review. A different finance approver checks the dates and amounts.

Statuses

  • Scheduled: approved, not yet posted.
  • Posted: the entry is on the books.
  • Reversed: the reversal has posted.
  • Cancelled: remaining entries were cancelled.

Good to know

  • No cash moves and ownership does not change.
  • Check Due Posting posts an entry that is due now.
  • Cancel Remaining cancels entries not yet posted. Enter a reason and click Request Cancellation. A different approver reviews it. Posted entries keep their planned reversals.
  • "This period is closed" means you must get the period reopened first. See Reconcile the Bank and Close the Books.
  • Entries stop if the preparer or approver loses access. Review the entries still due.
