Create a Short Term Lease as Lessee
To create a Lease Setup (LEASES) transaction in order to create a new lease authorization, perform these steps:
-
Create an instance of the LEASES transaction.
-
Complete the Authorization tab where a row will already be inserted for you and complete it with information for your lease authorization (leaving most information to default because the authorization level of detail is not needed).
-
Auto Generate ID: true
-
Debt Type: Operating Lease as Lessee.
-
Skip the Authorization COA tab where a blank row will already be inserted for you. (This task assumes 1 lease for the authorization and no Lease Authorization Event Type is entered for your Operating Lease as Lessee code selected from the Debt Type page.)
-
Navigate to the Debt Instrument tab, use the Insert Line action and enter the following:
-
Debt ID, Debt Instrument Name, Debt Instrument Short Name, Issue Date, and Principal: (enter values as desired).
-
Debt Instrument Status: Active Lease.
-
Use the Save action to save the Debt Instrument data, which will infer the Debt Type from the Authorization. This will trigger the transaction to create you a record on all the remaining transaction tabs that apply to that type of lease.
-
Navigate to the Lender/Lessor Information tab and enter information about the borrower.
-
Vendor Code: (the vendor code of the lessor)
-
Address Code: If there is no default payment address, choose a value else the field will default.
-
Skip the Lender/Lessor COA tab as it does not apply to this type of lease.
-
Skip the Borrower/Lessee Information tab, as it is not typically used for leases as the lessee.
-
Navigate to the Borrower/Lessee COA tab and enter the following:
-
Type of Payment: ALL
-
Percentage: 100%
-
COA: Enter codes required for expenditures for lease payments.
-
Navigate to the Schedule tab to enter information about the payment schedule. The payment schedule is such that it can be automatically generated.
-
Schedule Type: Amortized Payment
-
Selected Schedule: true
-
Frequency: Monthly
-
Number of Payments: 12 or fewer
-
Date of Month: 1st
-
Enter the amount of 1 payment in the Down Payment field.
-
Use the Generate Schedule action to create Schedule Detail tab records.
-
Validate the transaction.
-
If errors exist, fix the errors and repeat Step 10. If no errors exist, continue with Step 12.
-
Submit the transaction.
