We had an issue due to cash flow where we accrued payments monthly to 1099's that we classify as "employees" in netsuite. At the end of each quarter, we pay out that remaining balance. So far, this has been done by manual JE's with each line being classified to the appropriate "name."

Until now, our A/P aging report was accurate and reflects $5000/month. However, when we issues a payment of $15,000, it now shows a deficit of $10,000 in the month it was paid, with $5,000 remaining in each of the two previous months. The total open balance is zero.

Is this the wrong way to account for this or should we have created the paying journal entries differently? I don't want to do three separate JE's and post in different periods as that would be incorrect on the balance sheet. Attached screenshot for representation of what the report is showing.
