Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):
1, Create a Revenue Lease from Jun 16,2026 to Aug 15,2026
2, Add a payment as monthly base rent (amount $7000)
3, Process payment, accrual and create accounting
4, Terminate the Lease on Aug 1, 2026
5, Process payment, accrual and create accounting
The result shows the payment in Aug is $225.81 ($7000/31*1), this is alright.
However, the accrual accounting entries shows Credit gain/loss not Credit Revenue.
Why the rent in Aug 1st is recognized as gain/loss not rent revenue?
