Purpose
Lease Payment Planning keeps one contractual schedule as the source for payment timing, liability projection, budgets, and cash-flow forecasts. It does not create accounting journals or payment vouchers. Actual payment execution remains in the normal controlled voucher and posting workflow.Planning model
Lease-generated values are stored as a separate Lease Schedule Component. Synchronization replaces only the previous lease component and preserves Manual / Other Component amounts.
Create and synchronize a lease
1
Create the contract
Open Accounting and Finance > Lease Contract. Enter the office, lessor/vendor, currency, exchange rate, commencement and end dates, first payment date, frequency, payment amount, opening lease liability, and annual effective discount rate.
2
Map planning dimensions
Select an income-statement account for Period Activity, a liability account for Ending Balance, and an outflow cash-flow category.
3
Generate the schedule
Save and select Generate Schedule. JADE-ELS creates each contractual due date and calculates opening liability, effective interest, principal, and closing liability. It also creates a planning-destination row for every overlapping fiscal year.
4
Review the residual
Review the final closing liability. A material residual usually means the opening liability, payment amount, dates, exchange rate, or discount rate needs correction. Regenerate while the contract is Draft.
5
Choose destinations
For each fiscal year under Planning Destinations, select the Draft Period Activity budget, Draft Ending Balance budget, and Draft Cash Flow Forecast that should receive the schedule.
6
Approve and synchronize
Select Approve, then Sync Planning. Activate the lease when it becomes operational. Re-run synchronization after an authorized schedule or destination change.
7
Use the calendar
Select Payment Calendar to open the installments in DevExpress Scheduler. Scheduler events show the due date, office, contract, lessor, principal, and interest.
Calculation conventions
- The entered discount rate is an annual effective rate.
- Interest between dates uses effective daily compounding on a 365-day basis.
- Contractual payments are translated to base currency with the contract exchange rate captured when the schedule is generated.
- Period Activity and cash-flow amounts use due dates inside each configured fiscal period.
- Ending Balance is projected independently at every fiscal period end; balances are not added across months.
- Paid and scheduled installments remain included; cancelled installments are excluded.
Controls
- Contract code is unique within an office.
- Terms are locked after approval.
- Only Approved or Active leases can synchronize.
- All selected destination documents must be Draft and belong to the same fiscal year.
- Each contract has at most one planning-destination row per fiscal year.
- Cash-flow mappings must be outflows; ending-balance mappings must be liability accounts.
- Regeneration is blocked after an installment is marked Paid.
- Synchronization recalculates every approved/active lease sharing a destination, preventing one contract from erasing another.
