# Lease Payment Planning

> Build an effective-interest lease schedule, view payments in Scheduler, and synchronize controlled planning components.

## 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

| Schedule value                    | Destination            | Meaning                                                                        |
| --------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Cash payment in base currency     | Period Activity budget | Contractual payment movement in the fiscal period                              |
| Projected liability at period end | Ending Balance budget  | Point-in-time lease liability, including effective interest through period end |
| Cash payment in base currency     | Cash Flow Forecast     | Expected outflow on the contractual due date                                   |

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.</Step>
  <Step title="Map planning dimensions">Select an income-statement account for Period Activity, a liability account for Ending Balance, and an outflow cash-flow category.</Step>
  <Step title="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.</Step>
  <Step title="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.</Step>
  <Step title="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.</Step>
  <Step title="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.</Step>
  <Step title="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.</Step>
</Steps>

## 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.

<Warning>The module is a planning subledger, not the statutory lease accounting ledger. Reassessment, modification, index-linked payment changes, tax, foreign-exchange remeasurement, right-of-use depreciation, and journal recognition require the organization’s accounting policy and approval controls.</Warning>

## 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.
