Block number 1

This field cannot be entered. It displays the company to which the financial site is attached.

This mandatory field is used to enter the financial site in which the contract is recorded.

The choice of the financial site is submitted to management and authorization rules given to the user.
The site cal also be automatically loaded, by default, with the financial site reference previously displayed. It is possible to activate/deactivate this load by default, via the setup REMAFCY -  Persistence of the site, defined in the AAS chapter - Fixed assets.

Block number 2

  • Reference (field LEAREF)

The reference, composed of 20 alphanumerical characters max., is used to identify, in a unique way, a financial leasing contract for a given company.
The management of the contract reference is carried out according to the value of the LEAAUTNUM - Lease contract numberingsetup:

  • This reference must be entered if automatic numbering is not managed (the setup has Nonefor value).
  • It cannot be entered if the setup has value: Mandatory. This reference will be automatically assigned when validating the creation.
  • It can be entered if the automatic numbering is Optional. Otherwise, it will be automatically assigned.

  • Description 1 (field LEADES)

This field contains the main description of the contract.

  • Description 2 (field LEADES2)

This field contains the additional description of the financial leasing contract.

    Going from the status To validate to In process, either in creation or in modification, results in:

    - posting automatically this event by generating an automatic journal: LECRT – Contract creation, designed for the IFRS consolidated accounts.
     
  • A contract with the statusIn process cannot be deleted. It cannot be directly modified either. It can only change at the end of the different actions applied to the contract.

    Then it takes the value:

..\FCT\SEEINFO This action is irreversible; the termination of the contract cannot be cancelled.

Actions / Update the contract

This option in the Actions menu is available for contracts whose status is In process.
 It opens a window that is used to modify the following information of the contract: 
- Contract end date.
For the Lease-type contract:
- Loaned capital variation: positive or negative correction to apply to the borrowed capital; this variation, specified in the funding currency, is automatically converted and displayed in company currency and management currency of the IAS/IFRS context (if it is managed).
- Scrap value (specified in the funding currency, and displayed in the company currency and management currency of the IAS/IFRS context if it is managed).
- Purchase option exercise date.
- Accounting code.

This action leads to:

  • The recording of the update date and the new values entered, in the Main date.
     
  • Prohibiting the modification of the open items which are earlier than the update date of the contract.
     
  •  The recording of a Contracts update(LEAACTU) event.
    (Events can be viewed in the Event journal window which can be accessed from the Other info tab).
     
  • The automatic posting of this event by generating an automatic journal: LEACT – Lease : Update, for the IFRS consolidated accounts.

The pre-update data are therefore archived and can be viewed using the LEAACTU Contracts actualization specific report, which displays the different stages in the life of the contract.
When the update pertains to the amount of borrowed capital, the capital variations can be viewed in the Valuation tab.

When the update of the contract affects the contract end date, it also:

  • Modifies the schedule as follows: if this date is earlier than the former date, the open items further than the new date entered are deleted. If this date is further than the former date, the periods further than the new date are created and the amount of the new open items must be entered by hand.
     
  • Modifies, in the Vehicle window in the Assets function, the lease end date of the assets linked to the contract in the case of vehicles whose registration numbers is specified.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

"You must unlink the assets from the contract before changing its type".

The holding type of the assets must be coherent with the contract type: the assets linked to a lease-type contract must necessarily have the holding type: Lease; those linked to a contract of the long term rent-type contract must necessarily have the holding type: Long term rent.
