You create debt schedules under three main accounts:
After you create a debt schedule in one of these accounts, it includes these debt-schedule-related accounts:
Defines the minimal amount of debt and constrains debt payments.
The issuance of non-acquisition debt. If you enter a value for the principal and the debt is not acquisition related, the value is added to debt in the main account.
Total issuances—the sum of all acquisition-related and non-acquisition-related debt issuances.
Payments that have actually been paid. This may deviate from scheduled payments in the form of recapture, funding options, or if they run below the minimum debt or not.
The maximum excess cash flow that can potentially be applied to recapture payments.
The actual amount of recaptured cash flow paid to the debt. It is constrained by the amount of debt that can actually be paid.
Cash interest expense. In any period, the account value should be the equivalent of principal times the rate, which can change in a period.
Amortization of issue cost—a non-cash item. You control where it appears in the income statement.
Unamortized premium or discount. When bonds are issued at more or less than face value, the issue must record a premium or discount.
Current portion of long-term debt. The current portion is the amount of debt that is scheduled to be paid within the next 12 months.
Long-term portion of long-term debt. The long-term portion is the total minus the current portion. A reporting item only.
