          Here : Amount is 12000
          Debit : Advance Account (Prepaid Expense)
          Credit : Bank

2: Next for the Recurring Entries , we need to set a Model .(1 time setting)

Menu : Invoicing > Periodic Processing > Recurring Entries > Model

          Here : We can specify a name (Eg: New Division Rent Expense)
           Journal : (To which voucher the entry should hit)
          Then the recurring credit and debit lines (here , debit : Rent Expense,
          Credit : Advance (Prepaid Exp))

3: In order to generate the entries in 'n' number of periods we need to make the following settings

Menu : Invoicing > Periodic Processing > Recurring Entries >Define Recurring Entries

          Model : The model we set before(here : New Division Rent Expense)
          Period : (three options : date, month ,year)
