The current portion of long-term debt is usually broken out to an a liability account known as Current Portion-Long Term Debt. This is usually for a 12-month period.

Using the amortization schedule for the loan, debit the long-term note account for the 12 month period of principal and credit the short-term liability account. Then when the payment is made, debit the principal to the short-term account and the interest to interest expense.
