Billing Lines
Modules > Property lease management > Leases > All Leases > [select a lease] > [select charge line] > Billing lines button
Use this page to specify details for the billing lines of a charge, such as escalation and abatement. You can also review the billing lines for the periods.
The Billing lines page has two main tabs, Billing Lines Tab and Lease Accounting Standard Tab (ASC 842/IFRS 16) which you can select. The FastTabs and fields that are visible depend on which main tab you select. For example, the Amortization schedule FastTab is only available when the Lease accounting standard is selected.
In this topic, you can find information about the Billing Line Actions and about the Lease Accounting Standard Actions.
Note: The lease accounting standard can be used on expense and revenue leases that have a start date that is earlier than the lease accounting start date as specified on the Start date field on the Property Lease Management Parameters page. However, if the lease accounting standard start date is in the middle of a billing period, the billing period must be split so that a billing period ends before the lease accounting standard start date, and the next billing period is on the day of or after the lease accounting start date. For more information and assistance contact your administrator.

Default Date Values
The default dates that are applied to the charge details are based on the dates of the lowest level (e.g., unit) or the lease terms. Remember, you can change these dates as needed, but the default values serve as the basis from which you can work. The following scenarios provide more information.
- Scenario 1
- Scenario 2
- Scenario 3
If start and end dates for the lowest level are provided, the charge lines use the start and end dates from the lowest level. In this scenario, it doesn't matter if lease terms exist or not.
If only the start date for the lowest level is provided, and the start and end dates for the lease term are provided, the charge lines use the start and end dates from the lease term.
If only the start date for the lowest level is provided, and no lease terms are attached to the lease, the charge lines use the start date of the lowest level, and the end date is determined by the billing frequency (e.g., monthly) of the lease.
