The objective of this blog post is to explain the newly delivered enhancements for lease accounting in SAP Business ByDesign 2102.
1. Reopen a lease contract
It happens, that by mistake a lease contract was closed, although some amendments are still needed. With release 2102 we introduce a new action to reopen a lease contract. You can only reopen a lease contract if the corresponding ROU asset(s) is/are not yet retired. Only in this case the action will be active in a lease contract with status Closed.
You can check if a lease contract can be reopened in the Lease Contract Management work center under the Lease Contract view. Select a closed lease contract and click on Edit.
2. Search for Lease Posting Run(s) of a lease contract
Sometimes it is necessary to know which lease posting runs include postings of a specific lease contract. As an example, you need to reverse all postings due to a mistake in the lease contract. With 2102 you are now able to search for all lease posting runs of a lease contract number.
You can search for the runs in the Lease Contract Management work center under Periodic Tasks - Lease Posting Run. Just enter a lease contract number in the Search field and start the search.
3. Execute a Lease Posting Run for Initiation, Clearing or Closure postings
It is now possible to define a lease posting run in such a way that only
