Entering operating line

Can anyone help me. I don’t know how to enter this transaction in Sage 50 

Company negotiated a $20,000 operating line with BNS. Interest will be charged at 4% per annum and the loan covenants limit the amount of the operating line to 60% of good receivables (accounts less than 60 days old). No money is advanced at this time.

    No this is not a bank loan. It’s an operating line. And I need to know how to enter it. No funds used yet. 

    This is the question
