Hi&nbsp;Shepai-8-2017&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The Help Article, Loans and repayments, has general information on setting up and recording loans. If the loan is for an asset purchase, I would recommend speaking to your accountant about how to record that purchase.&nbsp;

Hi Tracy,&nbsp;The loaned money went straight to the supplier where we bought the equipment, so I did not create Receive Money. I created General Journal and my problem is why is it in our Balance Sheet the outstanding amount doubled? Even if I have entered the full payment in Spend Money, the Balance Sheet still shows we owe the full principal amount.&nbsp;Thanks,Shepai

Hi&nbsp;Shepai-8-2017&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Recording asset purchases and loan repayments can be complex, so we do recommend speaking to your accountant for the applicable transactions. The Forum post, Capital purchase and Finance, has general information on this topic. This post does refer to AccountRight, however, it will give you an idea of how these transactions would be recorded.
