How do you build a prepaid expense schedule from QuickBooks exports?

Export your bill detail from QuickBooks, then load it into the workflow. The workflow uses the amount paid and the coverage dates to spread each bill across the right months, with prorating by coverage days. It then shows the remaining prepaid balance for each month.

Prepaid Bill Amortization: questions

What export should you use for this workflow?

Use a QuickBooks export that includes bill-level detail for prepaid expenses, with the bill amount and the coverage dates or period you want to amortize.

What happens if a row does not match the rules?

Rows that do not match stay out of the scheduled result until you adjust the rules or clean up the source data. You can review them and decide whether to map them into the schedule or leave them excluded.

How do you change the amortization rules?

Edit the rules in words, such as which bills count as prepaid, how to read the coverage period, and how to spread the amount across months. Then rerun the workflow on the same exported file.
