Click to jump to parent topicJD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management Overview

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management system from Oracle, a supplementary system to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Real Estate Management system, provides extra functionality to meet the requirements of the United Kingdom real estate market. The information in this guide describes only the enhanced functionality.

Features of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management system are described in the following topics.

Additional Lease Information

The Lease Master Maintenance program (P74U1501) was enhanced to provide additional information for bank interest rates, alternative unit of measure conversion, and payment/accounting profile years. The P74U1501 also has functionality to automatically credit or credit/re-invoice tenants who have been billed in advance and who move out before the end of the billing period. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management Lease Master Maintenance program replaces the standard program.

User-Defined Bill Patterns

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management uses bill patterns instead of billing frequencies that enable users to determine when and how often an account is billed. Bill patterns are used in recurring billing and expense participation processing.

Property VAT Accounting

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management allows you to set up tax rate areas and tax explanation codes for value-added tax (VAT) processing by property and unit. Manual billing, recurring billing, and expense participation use these as defaults instead of using the tax defaults from the customer or supplier master record.

Enhanced Manual Billing

Manual billing was enhanced to process currency, unit accounting, and property VAT accounting.

Recurring Billing with Payment and Accounting Profiles

The recurring billing process was enhanced for currency, unit accounting, and VAT accounting and to use bill patterns instead of billing frequencies. In addition, each recurring billing record generates both payment profiles and accounting profiles, which are used for billing generation and accounting accruals and deferrals, respectively.

Expense Participation by Bill Pattern

Expense participation was enhanced to use bill patterns instead of billing frequencies and to use the base currency of the building to determine its currency. In addition, enhanced expense participation now interacts directly with enhanced recurring billing for estimated costs or directly into a payment profile for actual costs. Although the enhanced expense participation replaces standard expense participation, the system continues to use a number of the standard expense participation programs.

Fees and Interest with Bank Rates

You can calculate interest using bank rates and manage changes in bank rates over the interest calculation period. The generation process now creates records in the payment profile instead of the Lease Billings Master table (F1511B), which enables fee and interest charges to be combined on the same invoice as the recurring billing charges. Enhanced fees and interest replace standard fees and interest.

Global Generation

Global generation is the process that converts payment profile records into records in the Lease Billings Master table (F1511B). The global generation process in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management replaces the standard recurring billing generation program. In addition, it processes fees and interest, and expense participation billings into the Lease Billings Master table (F1511B).

Accounting Generation

Accounting generation is the process that converts the accounting profile from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management system into records in the Account Ledger table (F0911).

VAT Reporting

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management provides a number of additional reports to meet customs and excise requirements, including mixed rents, mixed expenses, and non-elected properties reports.

Global Updates

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management provides global updates for the enhancements, including global updates for rents, bank rates, payment profiles, and accounting profiles.

Integrities

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management provides two integrity reports to alert users of differences between the payment and accounting profiles.

Unit Accounting

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enhanced Real Estate Management allows users to automatically update unit balances into the general ledger as subledger entries. By providing this information in the general ledger, users can report on property transactions at both the property and unit levels.
