Operating Leases as Lessee

The following event types are delivered for use with the various chain jobs of Debt Management, but can also be used to manually record leases. Other event types used are in Accounts Payable and Fixed Assets.

LS01: Authorize Leases To Be Taken - This event type is used with the Debt Accounting (DA) transaction to record the amount authorized for entering into leases as the lessee. As those leases are made, this event type is used again to reduce the outstanding amount of that authorization.
