Does anyone ever use these? I have been studying AAT for years but have never come across T Accounts being used in the workplace. I do manual bookkeeping at work by using excel but T Accounts have never come into it. When are they ever used?

Hi i understand how to do prepayments, but what is the correct way to do it when you have an invoice. I was thinking post the invoice to Prepayment 1103 and then journal x amount over to rent every month. Or do i need to post it to rent, and then move that to 1103 and then move it back every month? Thanks
