you need to pass entries for following situations. 1. purchase of goods (credit or cash) 2. booking of warehouse rent payable. 3. loss of goods by theft (this entry will reduce your stock). 4. entry for adjusting rent payable with loss of goods (amt. will be compensation to be received). 5. payment of warehouse rent.
no need to go for a shortcut entry. pass all the entries as i stated above and your problem is solved.
