Prepayments are expenses paid upfront, like an annual insurance premium. AkountFly helps you amortise these expenses monthly over the coverage period. When you approve a special item like a prepayment in the AI Bank Transactions Center, a dialog will open with options to either match it to an existing item or track it as a new item. You can choose to set up the prepayment terms immediately or approve it now and set the terms later.
