Modules > Property lease management > Leases > All Leases > [select a lease] > [select charge line] > Billing lines button > Lease accounting standard tab
Use this page to specify details regarding the lease components, including the lease classification, amortization schedule, or lease component accounts. You can also review the billing lines for the periods.
The Billing Lines page has two main tabs, Billing Lines Tab and the Lease accounting standard (ASC 842/IFRS 16) tab. 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.
See Billing Lines Tab for information about the Billing lines tab.
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.

Revenue Lease Journal Entries
Review the following information if you are working with revenue leases.
Create Initial Journal Entry
To create the initial journal entry, do the following:
-
Go to the charge for which you want to create an initial journal entry. Go to Property lease management > Leases > All Leases > [select a lease] > [select charge line] > Billing lines button > Lease accounting standard tab.
-
Make any adjustments to the fields under these tabs:
-
General, including, for example:
-
Asset cost
-
Asset fair value
-
Unguaranteed residual value.
-
-
Charge details: Change any of the lease component accounts.
-
Lease incentives: Add an incentive to a lease.
-
-
After you have entered your adjustments, select Process.
The fields on the Billing lines form are then updated with the values you entered.
-
Once you have finished your adjustments, select Create initial journal.
It is necessary for all finance leases to create a journal entry so that any generated invoices display the updated charge details. For operating leases, if there is no direct cost then you do not need an initial journal entry to generate invoices.
-
Select the Initial journal date and then select OK.
After you have created the initial journal entry for your charge you can then generate an invoice. Billing lines only appear as an option to invoice after the initial journal entry is created.
To invoice revenue lease component charges that have direct cost, asset fair value, asset cost and other amounts specified in the lease accounting standard tab, you must create and post the initial journal entry for that charge. After the journal is posted you can invoice the charge using Invoice Creator.
Create a Modification Journal
After you create your initial journal entry, you can modify the same billing line by creating modification journals.
Limitations of Modification Journal
-
You cannot modify the fields on the Billing lines form until after the initial journal entry is created and posted. If an initial journal entry is not posted or an invoice is only partially posted or not posted at all, you are not able to modify any values.
-
After you select Create modification journal > Modification journal process, the journal date displays the date of the next billing period for which an invoice is not posted. The Modification journal date is a read-only field.
-
If an account number of a balance sheet account is changed, then there will be a journal imbalance and the journals will need to be balanced manually.
To create a modification journal, do the following:
-
Ensure that you have created the initial journal entry.
-
Make any adjustments to the fields under these tabs:
-
General, including, for example:
-
Asset cost
-
Asset fair value
-
Unguaranteed residual value.
-
-
Charge details: Change any of the lease component accounts.
-
Lease incentives: Add an incentive to a lease.
-
-
After you have entered your adjustments, select Process.
The fields on the Billing lines form are then updated with the values you entered.
-
Once you have finished your adjustments, select Create modification journal.
It is necessary for all finance leases to create a journal entry so that any generated invoices display the updated charge details. For operating leases, if there is no direct cost then you do not need an initial journal entry to generate invoices.
-
Select the Modification journal date and then select OK.
After you have created your modification journal, you can see the initial journal entry and your modified journal entry under the Audit tab.
Reverse Initial Journal Entry
You can reverse an initial journal entry and restore the values of the charge as they were before the initial journal entry was created. To be able to reverse a journal entry, the initial journal entry must be created and posted. However, you cannot reverse an initial journal entry if any invoice is created or posted.
To reverse the initial journal entry, do the following:
-
Go to the charge for which you want to reverse the initial journal entry. Go to Property lease management > Leases > All Leases > [select a lease] > [select charge line] > Billing lines button > Lease accounting standard tab.
-
Select Reverse initial journal.
-
The Reverse initial journal processing page opens.
-
Select the Reversal journal date and then select OK.
After you have created the reversal journal, the audit and amortization tables are updated.

Remeasure Lease Liability and ROU Asset Amount
If an expense lease is modified, the lease liability and ROU asset amount must be remeasured or recalculated. Changes to the lease can include, but are not limited to the following:
- The discount rate or other changes on the Lease Details is changed
- Escalation or abatement lines are added
- Direct costs and incentives are added
- The economic life, residual amount, or purchasing option amount are changed
To remeasure the lease liability and ROU asset amount for a lease, follow these steps:
- Perform any of the changes as described, and process them on the Billing Lines Tabpage.
- Select Remeasure.
- In the dialog, specify the date on which the remeasure is processed. If needed, specify a comment.
- Select Process to remeasure the lease liability and ROU asset amount.
The amortization schedule is updated and a line is added to the Audit (Lease Accounting Standard tab). To review the details of the remeasure, select the journal number to open the journal voucher.
Remeasuring a lease liability can be performed after the initial journal entry has been created. During the remeasuring process, the original initial journal entry is reversed and a new journal entry is created. Review the transactions in the Audit (Lease Accounting Standard tab).
