The Advance entries as posted by your are correct. however the dates are not correct. As you ahve received PDC's you will have to post the advance entries on the dates mentiond on the cheque. i.e on the 1st day of each quarter i.e. First entry in Apr12, 2nd one on Jul12 and so on.

then in each month you will have to post the expense entry by debiting rent A/c & crediting Advance Rent A/c.

You can give a clear Account Head to teh Rent paid in Advance as say, 'Advance Rent- MR X', so that you can come to know the nature of the transaction.

for paymetn entries you need to select the 'Payment voucher' & for postign the expense entries you need to select teh 'journal Voucher'

Then prepare the Advance Rent A/c, Rent Paid A/c, & Bank A/c.
