Hi,
I need to record my business insurance expense for that we used to finance option.
Let's say:
Insurance Expense £10,000
I Used finance for the expense and will pay £1100 as instalments for the next 10 months (in total 1000 for interest and the rest for principal)
Could you please explain step by step how to record the payment of the insurance expense and the instalments payments to finance company.
Thank you

Hello Community Users, We just wanted to add some clarification to this thread.
In the case of a financed expense you would need to record the finance first. So is that amount on finance a long/short term loan to the business? In which case you would need to set up a chart of account for the loan under the detail type liability-selecting the most relevant one to match with short or long term loans. You would enter the balance you received.
Then you can use the recurring feature to set up a recurring expense for supplier A, assuming you had the finance directly added to your bank. You can then set up a separate recurring transaction to pay off the loan/finance.
We'd really suggest speaking with an accountant to help you as financed expenses can be tricky and they may want you to record this a different way.
Hi there, @Vuralriza1.
Thanks for visiting the Community. I appreciate you for sharing detailed information on your goal.
Sure, let's create a bill to record the full amount of your payable to that finance company, then use the Pay bills to enter your installments. Here's how:
5. Select an expense account under the Category drop-down list, then enter the full amount
of £11,000 in the Amount field.
6. Enter all necessary information under the Category and Item details.
7. Select Save and close.
Once done, you can now enter your partial payment by opening the bill you've created. Here's how:
You can now keep track of your payable by running Accounts payable aging detail report. Learn about how to customise supplier reports according to your business needs.

Hi
Maybe I couldn't clarify the issue properly.
In your case, there will be only one supplier which is the finance company, but your suggestion won't let me record the insurance expense from supplier A and the finance from supplier B (where I should split the payments as principal end interest and record the interest as an expense) separately.
If I go with your suggestion I will just able to record the transaction with the finance company as an expense, and not able to record the expense from the insurance company separately.
Could you please double-check, isn't there a more proper way that I can record every expense as it happens in real life?
Thank you
