请教关于Quickbooks记录accrual utilities expense的问题

正在学习accounting，请教一个很简单的问题： under accrual methods, utility bills are normally received in the next month, when you do your monthly close(Jan 31), how do you record the expense of utility bill in QuickBooks?
Should I make an estimate and post a journal entry in the general ledger on Jan 31: Debit Accrued utility expense $50 Credit Accounts payable$50 And then Feb 2 when I receive the actual bill $60, post a adjusting entry to the general ledger again: Debit Utility Expense $10 Credit Accounts payable $10

when you received the Bill, Debit Expense for Jan Credit Payable

Post an accrual entry in Jan which will be automatically reversed in Feb. then record a permanent entry when you get the actual bill
