Hi, everyone
I have a loan where the bank doesn't give the money at once; they give me the money in two forms.
First, they pay the bills directly to the vendor and
Second, they deposit some money in the bank when we request to pay other expenses.
I already register all deposits (second form) they give me in other current liabilities. But, I don't know how to register for the first form.
Thanks
This seems to be a bit tricky, @Lil2022. I'll give you some information on how to handle a loan paid directly to a vendor.
If the loan money is used differently than having it deposited into a bank account, we'd usually recommend you reach out to your accountant. They're capable of providing you with the next steps. This also avoids messing up your books.
Once everything is in order, feel free to read these helpful guides about handling loans and repayments:

When the bank pays the vendor directly, follow this process:
1) Set up a bank account called "Clearing Account".
2) Enter bills as you normally do.
3) When the bank pays the vendor, pay the bill in QBO and use the newly-created Clearing Account as the payment account.
4) Then, create a journal entry to move the amount in the Clearing Account to your Loan Payable account: debit Clearing Account, credit Loan Payable.
Thanks for your reply and links. I am going to talk with my accountant. Thank you
