What are the best methods to amortise an expenses over future periods?
For example a payment for insurance for 12 months of insurance.
We pay the insurance 2 month in arrears so need to recognise 2/12 of the total expense now in the Expense Main Account in the general ledger, and schedule the remaining 10 months to load to the General Ledger expense main account over the next 10 months drawing down from a balance sheet prepayment Main Account in the General Ledger.
Thanks
Hi Paul,
To be honest I think you will need a customization to do exactly what you are describing because I don't think there's functionality in the standard application that can do that as described.
Hi Anton,
I read information on Learn for D365
and this explained how to do what I needed from standard functionality
Have you explored the Accrual schemes and Ledger accruals? It might be worth considering them for your situation.
