4 Setting Up Tenant and Lease Information

This chapter contains the following topics:

4.1 Setting Up Tenant Information

This section provides an overview of tenant information and discusses how to set up a tenant record.


Note:

In a lessee lease, the term tenant is synonymous with the lessor or the company from where the property or non-property assets are leased from.

4.1.1 Understanding Tenant Information

After you set up property information, you can assign tenants to the units. Set up information about the companies and people with whom you do business as tenants in the Tenant Information program (P01012), which is identical to the Address Book Revisions program (P01012). You must set up tenant address book records before you can enter related real estate information, such an assignment of tenants to a lease.

In addition to setting up the tenant, you might have to set up additional address book records to represent the company or person to whom bills should be sent, or the parent company. To differentiate tenants from other address book records, you can assign them a unique search type, such as T (for tenant) or B (for billing address).

Also, you must set up a customer master record and a supplier master record for the tenant and other related address book records. In most circumstances, the customer master record is required to process billings and payments and the supplier master record is required to refund security deposits and process vouchers.


Note:

The system uses the address in the Address Line 1 field as the mailing address for tenant statements and invoices. If the tenant requires you to send statements and invoices to a different payee (for example, to a parent company or regional office), enter an address book record for the payee, and then reference their address book number in the Parent Number field on the Related Address tab of the tenant's address book record.

4.1.1.1 Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment for Tenants (Release 9.1 Update)

The alternate tax rate/area functionality enables you to set up an use an alternate tax rate/area when the entities involved in a transactions are in the European Union. In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Real Estate Management system, the tenant if one of the entities for which you set up the alternate functionality.

When you set up your system to use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality, the system enables you to set up the functionality using the tenant as one of the entities to consider.

See Section 3.2.2, "Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignments for Real Estate Management (Release 9.1 Update)"

4.1.2 Forms Used to Set Up Tenant Information

Form Name FormID Navigation Usage
Work With Addresses W01012B Tenant and Lease Information (G1511), Tenant Information Review and locate tenant records.
Address Book Revision W01012A On the Work With Addresses form, click Add. Set up a tenant record

4.1.3 Setting Up a Tenant Record

Access the Address Book Revision form.

You must enter a Y in the Payables Y/N/M field and select the Receivables Y/N check box.

4.2 Setting Up Lease Information

This section provides overviews of lease information, new lease entry, and lease versions, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Lease Information (P1501).

  • Set up leases.

  • Set processing options for New Lease Entry (P15010).

  • Set up new lease entries.

  • Create lease versions.

4.2.1 Understanding Lease Information

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Real Estate Management system, the lease is the basis for invoices or vouchers and for receipts or payments. Use the Lease Information program (P1501) to set up information about leases that are associated with the tenants.

When you set up a lease for a tenant, you enter the name and location of the tenant, and then you specify additional information such as the area that the tenant occupies or the rental terms of the lease. Tenant leases can be as simple or as complex as necessary. In addition to regular leases and subleases, you can set up and maintain coterminous and holdover leases.

(Release 9.1 Update) When you set up lessee leases, you can enter property and non-property assets that you are leasing. You can also specify information that the system uses when creating balance sheet lessee accounting information, such as amortization schedules and journal entries.

This table describes the programs you can access from the Form menu on the Lease Master Revisions form after you set up the lease:

Program Program Description
Log Details (P1521) Set up the log standards that contain additional necessary information about the lease.

To reduce errors, you can copy the standard log information that is set up for the lease type by setting the Copy Log Standards processing option.

(Release 9.1 Update) Additional asset-related fields have been added to the Lease Log to enable you to track information by unit (property asset) or asset (non-property asset) on lessee leases.

Be aware that when you add a lease log detail line to your lease, the system automatically uses the first detail line on your lease to populate the log details. You can override these values as needed.

Legal Clause Information (P1570) Set up legal clause information about the lease or tenant. You use this program in addition to or as an alternative to log standards.
Recurring Billing Information (P1502) Set up billing amounts and frequencies by bill code that you use to generate recurring billings and amortization schedules for lessee leases.
Security Deposit Maintenance (P1565) Set up information for security deposits that you refund later.
Escalation Information (P15016) Set up information to generate rent increases based on an index such as the consumer price index.
Sales Overage Information (P15013) Set up information to calculate and generate rent billings as a percentage of sales.
E.P. Information (P15012) Set up information to generate billings for shared expenses, such as common area maintenance, parking, and utilities.
Straight-line Rent Lease Setup (P15131) (Release 9.1 Update) Set up information that the straight-line Rent Generation program (R15130) uses when generating or regenerating straight-line rent amounts.
Straight-line Rent Revisions (P1513) (Release 9.1 Update) Review and update straight-line rent records that have been generated for the lease.
Amortization Schedules (P15171) (Release 9.1 Update) Use this application to manage and update amortization schedules for assets that are being processed using balance sheet lessee accounting.

Instead of accessing the Unit Information program (P15217), you can adjust the area of the unit directly from the lease. To access the Unit Area Adjustments program (P1514A), select a record on Lease Master Revisions form and select Unit Area Adj from the Row menu.

The system stores lease information in the Lease Master Header table (F1501B) and the Lease Master Detail table (F15017).

4.2.2 Understanding New Lease Entry

As an alternative to entering the lease and then setting up information for other programs separately, you can use the New Lease Entry program (P15010) to help you set up the lease and enter additional information at the same time. The P15010 program gives you access to the same programs as from the Form menu on the Lease Master Revisions form, and additionally you can access the New Manual Billing Entry program (P15111) to specify whether to print a lease master listing. You can use the P15111 program to enter manual billing records, as necessary.


Note:

The P15111 program is available from the P15010 program only. If you click the button to enter manual billings, the system does not return you to the New Lease Setup form until you exit the New Manual Billing form.

The New Lease Setup form appears automatically only after you enter a new lease. After you exit the form, you cannot access it again for an existing lease.

See Understanding Manual Billing Entry.

4.2.3 Understanding Lease Versions

You can accommodate the changing needs of the tenants by creating new versions of their leases. For example, if a tenant wants to expand the rentable area by 2,000 square feet during his 36-month lease, you can create a subset of the existing lease, make the necessary changes, and save the lease as a new version.

When you create a new version of a lease, the system copies the information from the existing lease so that you do not have to reenter identical information. The system also enables you to track activity for all versions of the lease.

4.2.3.1 Using Lease Versions with Balance Sheet Lessee Accounting (Release 9.1 Update)

If you are using lease versions to track changes for lessee leases that have amortization schedules, be aware that the system does not create separate amortization schedules for each lease version. Only one set of primary amortization schedules exists for each asset.

In some cases, the changes you make to a new lease version do not have any impact on lease liability calculations and amortization schedules. For example, you might create a new lease version to track a change to a name or address.

Other changes can impact the lease liability calculation, and require an update to amortization schedules. For example, you might create a new lease version to end the lease early, or to change the billing amounts. In these instances, the changes you make when creating the new version will update the lease to indicate that a remeasurement is required, and you must run the necessary remeasurement process to ensure that the amortization schedules associated with your lease are updated correctly.

When you create a new lease version, you might find it necessary to create new recurring billing records for the new version. You can use the Version row menu option on the Recurring Billing Revisions form to create the new records. The system performs the steps to suspend existing records, update the effect on lease liability, and create new records based on the updated version information. You can then update the new records with new amounts if necessary. When you save those records, the system determines if the changes require you to remeasure the lease. If you manually update your recurring billing records, you must ensure that you conform to the rules for stepped payments, and that you update the effect on lease liability for each record so that your billing and amortization schedules accurately reflect your changes.

4.2.4 Understanding Straight-line Rent Processing for Leases (Release 9.1 Update)

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) controls the accounting standards in the United States to ensure that financial statements are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Straight-line Rent, which is Ruling 13 from that board, states that the revenue from rent (recurring billings) must be recognized evenly (as a straight line) over the life of the lease.

Straight-line Rent Setup for Leases

When you create a lease, the system looks to the Real Estate Management Constants program (P1510) to determine if default straight-line rent setup information exists. If default information is available in the constants, the system automatically updates the lease with the default values. Processing options on P1501 determine whether you can update those values.

You access lease-specific straight-line rent setup information using the Straight-line Rent Setup form menu option on the Lease Master Revisions or the Recurring Billing Revisions forms using a Form menu option.


Note:

In some cases, there are multiple buildings on a single lease. To retrieve straight-line rent constant values, the system uses the first building on the lease to determine which default values to add to the lease.

For example, if you have constants defined for building 100 and building 200, and your lease includes both buildings, the system retrieves the default values from the constants using the first line of the lease. Those values are then used for all items on the lease.


You can use the Work With Straight-line Rent Lease Setup Program (P15131) to review, and if allowed, update the straight-line rent setup for a group of leases. The program allows you to use filter criteria to view all leases that have straight-line rent setup information, to view leases that do not have the setup, or to easily review the setup for all leases.

The processing options for the P15131 enable users to specify which version of the P1501 the system uses. The processing option settings on the specified version of the P1501 determine whether users are allowed to update straight-line rent information using the P15131, and also which lease version is currently active.

Straight-line rent information is used by the Straight-line Rent Generation program (R15130) when generating or regenerating straight-line rent information for a lease. A processing option on the R15130 determines whether the values on the lease, or the values in the R15130 processing options are used when calculating straight-line rent amounts.

See Section 2.1, "Setting Up Constants" for more information about straight-line rent constants. See Section 20.3, "Generating Straight-line Rent Information" for information about the R15130.

Straight-line Rent Generation Control

After you create a lease, you might need to generate straight-line rent information for that lease. If you revise the lease after straight-line rent information has been generated, the system determines whether the change might impact straight-line calculations, based on the fields that are updated. Depending on the processing option settings for the P1501, the system does one of the following when such a change occurs:

  • The system saves the lease revisions and does not update the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field.

    The user must manually update the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field in order to recalculate straight-line information for the revised lease.

  • A warning window appears to notify users that straight-line rent records might need to be recalculated.

    The user can click OK to save the lease revisions and mark the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field for all updated records. Alternatively, the user can click Cancel to save the lease revisions without updating the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field.

  • The system saves the lease revisions and automatically updates the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field.

You can access the Straight-line Rent Revisions program (P1513) directly from the Lease Master Revisions form using a Form menu option. The system uses the version of the P1513 that is specified on the Versions tab in the processing options of the P1501. For additional information about straight-line rent processing, see: Chapter 20, "Straight-line Rent Standards and Processes".

4.2.5 Understanding Lessee Lease Entry for Balance Sheet Accounting (Release 9.1 Update)

You can also create leases for property and non-property assets that you are leasing (as a lessee), and use the Real Estate Management system to create the necessary amortization schedules and journal entries to account for your leased assets on the balance sheet.

The Lease Information program (P1501) includes a Lessee Accounting tab, which contains the fields you need to complete for a lessee lease. On this tab, you must select the Lessee option to enable the fields for editing. You use the following fields to determine how the system handles the accounting for your lease:

  • Lessee

    Select this option to specify that this is a lessee lease. Once you select this option, the system enables the fields associated with a lessee lease. Additionally, this field is disabled after the Lease Liability Status value is 10 or greater.

  • Default Lease Classification

    Specify the lease classification that is used as the default on all lines on the lease. The value is retrieved from the Real Estate Management Constants, and can be overridden if the Lessee option is selected. You can also override the value on the detail lines if necessary.

  • Borrowing Rate

    If the Lessee option is selected, this field is enabled and required. You must have a borrowing rate if you want to create amortization schedules for the lease.

    For a lessee, this is the discount rate for the lease. Use the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be readily determined. In that case, the lessee is required to use its incremental borrowing rate. You can also override the value on the detail lines if necessary.

  • Reasonably Certain to Exercise Option

    This field is informational only, and does not impact any accounting processing for the lease.

You can then enter lines on the lease for each asset that you are leasing. Each leased asset must have an asset number. If you are entering a property asset, you enter a unit number, and the system retrieves the associated asset number from the asset record and populates the Unit Asset Number field to identify the asset. You can use the visual assist on the Unit field to search for and select valid property assets.

If you are entering a non-property asset, you use the Asset Number field, which comes from the Asset Master record. You can use the visual assist to search for and select non-property assets. Alternatively, you can use the Create Non-Property Asset icon to create non-property asset records directly from the lease. These assets are used to generate amortization schedules and journal entries to properly account for leased assets that must be shown on the balance sheet.

When you use the Create Non-Property Assets icon to create assets, the system uses default information from the processing options from the Assets tab of the P1501. You can override this information during asset creation. These processing options also control whether this icon is available.

When you enter non-property assets on a lease, the system disables certain row menu options that are specific to property assets, such as the Unit Revisions, Unit History, and Unit Area Adj options. Additionally, fields on the detail line that are unit-specific are also disabled.

If you are entering multiple assets on a lease, you can click the Save and Continue button on the lease so that you can save your changes as you go.

After you create the lease, you can then enter manual and recurring billing information. If your lease commencement and the recurring billing start dates are the same, you can leave the Lease Commencement Date for each asset on the lease blank. The system then uses the recurring billing start date as the lease commencement date. However, if the dates are different, you can enter a date in the Lease Commencement Date field on the lease. The system then uses this date, rather than the recurring billing start date, as the commencement date. Note that the lease commencement start date cannot be greater than the recurring billing start date.

Additionally, if the recurring billing end date and the date on which you relinquish control of the leased asset are the same, you can leave the ROUA End Date field blank for the assets. The system uses the recurring billing end date as the ending date of the asset. However, if the date you relinquish control of the asset is greater than the recurring billing end date for the asset, you can enter a date in the ROUA End Date on the lease. The system then uses this date as the ending date for the asset. The ROUA End Date cannot be less than the recurring billing end date.

You can then run the lease commencement process, which creates amortization schedules and generates the appropriate journal entries for your lease. As the lease moves through the lessee accounting process, the system updates the Lease Liability Status field on the lease, which determines which actions can be completed, and which fields on the lease can be updated.

If you enter into a sublease for a leased asset, you can enter a sublease date on the lease line. If there is a date in the Sublease Date field, the lease is a lessee lease, and the lease classification is an operating or finance lease, you can then specify whether the sublease has an impact on ROUA by selecting the Impact on ROUA option. If you select this option, when you run the Lessee Accounting Journal Entries program (R15180), the system creates a credit entry using the LR AAI and a debit entry using the L6 AAI for the remaining balance on the Right of Use Asset Amortization schedule for that month. You will in effect clear your right to use the asset, but retain the lease liability for the leased asset. If you do not select this option, the R15180 does not change the balance sheet lessee accounting journal entries for the sublease.

For additional information about lessee accounting, see Chapter 22, "Balance Sheet Lessee Accounting (Release 9.1 Update)".

2: The lease requires a unit number, but you can enter an invalid number.

3. Straight-line Rent Generation Control (Release 9.1 Update)

Use this processing option to determine how to update the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field (GENC) in the Straight-line Rent Lease Control table (F1513B) when you revise fields that can impact straight-line rent calculations.

When you make changes that impact straight-line rent calculations, you typically want to set this field value to Y so that the records can be recalculated, and new records can be generated. If your changes impact straight-line calculations, and you choose not to update this field, you must manually update the field using the Straight-line Rent Revisions program (P1513) before you recalculate straight-line rent information.Changes to the following fields could impact straight-line rent calculations: Lease Start Date, Lease End Date, Term of Lease, Move-In Date, Plan-Out Date or Commitment Beginning Date. Values are:

Blank: Do not update Generation Control field. The system does not update the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field

1: Update Generation Control field using warning window. The system provides you with an opportunity to update the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field by displaying a Straight-line Rent Warning window. Click OK to update the field with Y, or click Cancel if you do not want to update the field.

2: Update Generation Control field automatically. The system does not display the Straight-line Rent Warning window, and automatically updates the Straight-line Rent Generation Control field to Y.

4. Commitment Begin Date Edit

Use this processing option to specify whether the system validates the commitment begin date. Values are:

Blank: Validate

1: Do not validate

5. Override Lease Straight-line Rent Setup (Release 9.1 Update)

This includes the Straight-line Rent Generation option on the Recurring Billing Revisions program (P1502) and the fields from the Lease Straight-line Rent Setup program (P15131) that are called from the Lease Master Maintenance (P1501) and the Recurring Billing Revisions (P1502) programs. Values are:

Blank: Do not allow override.

1: Allow override.

6. Lessee Accounting Actions (Release 9.1 Update)

Use this processing option to specify whether users can complete any of these lessee accounting actions on the Lease Master Revisions form:

  • Modify any lessee-related fields in the header or detail of an existing lease. These fields include Lease Classification, Reasonably Certain to Exercise Option, Borrowing Rate, and Category Code fields.

  • Modify any lessee-related fields in the detail when adding a new lease. Values will default from the lease header.

  • Create lease amortization schedules for a lease.

  • Create lease commencement journals for a lease.

Values are:

Blank: Do not allow lessee accounting actions

1: Allow lessee accounting actions

4.2.8.4 Process

1. Copy Log Standards

Specify whether to automatically copy the log standards to the lease logs when you add a lease. Values are:

Blank: Automatically copy.

1: Do not automatically copy. You can manually copy log standards to a lease.


Note:

You can revise and delete only those log lines that are not required standards (lines for which the RS field is blank). If a log line in the log standard is designated as required (the RS field is set to Y), you cannot delete the line from the model or change the information in the corresponding LC,AM,ID, or UM field. To change the log line, you must set the Required Standards Protection processing option for the Lease Information program to blank (do not protect), and then remove the Y from the RS field on the appropriate log standard.

If a line appears in blue, the log item was attached at the lease level. This information carries through to the unit level.


2. Speculative Lease Display and Entry

12. Straight-line Rent Revisions (P1513) (Release 9.1 Update)

Specify the version of the P1513 to use when accessing the program from the Form menu option on the Lease Master Revisions form.

13. Create Amortization Schedules (R15170) (Release 9.1 Update)

Specify the version of the Create Amortization Schedules and Commencement Journals program (R15170) that the system uses when you create amortization schedules. Note that if you select a version of this program that is set up to process amortization schedules and journal entries at the same time, the system will complete both steps. If you only want to create amortization schedule, be sure to select a version that only creates schedules, and does not create journal entries.


Note:

If you create amortization schedules using the Row menu option from the Work With Leases form, the system runs the specified version of the R15170.

If you create amortization schedules from the Row menu option from the Lease Master Revisions form, the system only retrieves the processing option values from the selected version, and creates the schedules using the business function. The system does not run the R15170.


14. Lease Commencement (R15170) (Release 9.1 Update)

Specify the version of the Lease Commencement program (R15170) that the system uses when you create commencement journals. Note that if you select a version of this program that is set up to process amortization schedules and journal entries at the same time, the system will complete both steps. If you only want to create journal entries, be sure to select a version that only creates journals, and does not create schedules.

15. Lessee Accounting Batch Review (P150911) (Release 9.1 Update)

Use this processing option to specify which version of the Balance Sheet Lessee Accounting Batch Review program (P150911) the system uses when reviewing lessee accounting journal entries.

4.2.8.6 Work Center Messages

1. Distribution Structure Type

Specify the structure type of the distribution list to use to send workflow messages when you create a lease version. The system uses the structure type and the parent number to locate the distribution list to use for message routing.

If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not send workflow messages.

2. Distribution Parent Number

Specify the parent address book number of the distribution list to use to send workflow messages when you create a lease version. The system uses the parent number and the structure type to locate the distribution list to use for message routing.

If the system cannot locate a distribution list for the parent number and structure type that is specified, a workflow message is sent only to the parent address number that is specified.

If you leave this processing option is left blank, the system does not send workflow messages.

4.2.8.7 Currency

1. Default Currency From

Specify the default transaction currency code to use in the Lease Currency Code field on the lease. Values are:

Blank: Use the currency code from the tenant's address book record as the default transaction currency code.

Lessee Accounting Fields (Release 9.1 Update)

The following fields are available in the detail area to support lessee accounting:

Building/Business Unit

For property assets, you enter the associated building. For non-property assets, you enter the associated business unit.This field appears as Building on lessor leases.

ROUA End Date

Enter a date in this field if the date on which you relinquish control of the asset is greater than the recurring billing end date for the asset. If you leave this field blank, the system assumes the recurring billing end date is the date on which you no longer control the asset. This date cannot be earlier than the recurring billing end date.

Create Non-Property Asset

Click this icon to create non-property asset records in the Fixed Asset system, and add them to your lease. Processing options determine whether this option is available on the form.

When you click this Icon, the Create Asset window appears.

Asset Number

Populate this field for non-property assets. This field is not editable if there is a value in the Unit field. If you enter a value in this field, the system automatically selects the Non-Property Asset option, and disables fields that are specific to property assets. Additionally, you cannot enter an asset number that is associated with a unit.

When you enter a non-property asset, the system retrieves the responsible business unit for the asset from the Asset Master, and populates the Building/Business Unit field. If you manually enter a value in the Building/Business Unit field that does not match the business unit from the Asset Master, the system replaces the manually entered value with the business unit from the Asset Master and issues a warning.

Non-Property Asset

This option is automatically selected when you enter a non-property asset in the Asset Number field.

Whether the lessee accounting fields in the detail area are editable is controlled by a processing option.

4.2.10 Entering Straight-line Rent Setup Information for Leases (Release 9.1 Update)

After you set up a lease, the system automatically creates a Straight-line Rent Setup record for the lease, based on the default setup information that was defined in the Real Estate Management Constants. If you want to use the default values, no additional steps are required.

To review, and if allowed, update the straight-line rent setup for a lease, complete these steps:

  1. From the Lease Master Revisions form, select Setup Straight-line from the Form menu.

  2. On the Lease Straight-line Rent Setup form, select a value from the Lease Term Dates Selection field.

  3. If you select User Defined Lease Term Dates, complete the Lease Term Begin Date and Lease Term End Date fields.

  4. Select a value in the Lease Version Date Selection field.

  5. If you selected User Defined Lease Version Date, complete the Lease Version Effective Date field.

  6. To specify that you want to append any regenerated straight-line rent records to previously created records when straight-line information is regenerated, select the Append on Regeneration option.

    When the option is selected, the system retains the existing records in the Straight-line Rent Lease Control table (F1513B) that were created from the previous run of the Straight-line Rent Generation program (R15130), and the results from the current run are appended to the results of the previous run. The system updates all records to use the new batch number from the second run of the R15130.

    When the option is not selected, the system deletes the F1513B records from the previous run of the R15130 when you rerun the R15130. The only results are the results of the current run.

    When appending results from two runs of the R15130, the lease term of the previous run must not overlap with the lease term of the new run. If the lease terms overlap, then you must deselect this option so that the system deletes the F1513B records from the previous run while generating amounts for the new lease term.

    When running the R15130 to append results of a lease term that ends mid-month and a lease term that starts mid-month, the Prorate Partial Month Rents processing option should be set to 1 (prorate partial month rents). If you set the Prorate Partial Month Rents processing option to 2 (prorate on a 30-day month) or 3 (prorate on a 31-day month), the results might be incorrect depending on the partial month being processed.

  7. Click OK to save your changes.

4.2.11 Reviewing and Updating Lease Straight-line Rent Setup Information (Release 9.1 Update)

4.3 Setting Up Legal Clause Information

This section provides an overview of legal clause information, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Legal Clause Information (P1570).

  • Enter legal clause information.

  • Copy option standards.

  • Enter space detail information.

  • Enter space detail audit information.

  • Enter clause amounts.

  • Enter clause options audit information.

4.3.1 Understanding Legal Clause Information

As an alternative or in addition to using log information, you can set up legal clauses in the Legal Clause Information program (P1570). You can set up legal clause information by lease or by tenant, but not both. You use legal clause information to access and track option types and related lease information for retail and commercial leases and to store this information in one location without having to refer to the actual lease. For example, after you establish an option type, such as early termination or first right of refusal, you can further define the option types with corresponding details such as beginning dates, end dates, notice dates, critical dates, space details, and associated option amounts.

The system uses the Legal Clauses table (F1570) to track information at the source section or paragraph level of the original lease, and associates all of the related information by using a legal clause number key that is assigned through the next numbers feature.

Additionally, the system maintains legal clause information in these tables:

  • Legal Clause Options Audit table (F15701)

  • Legal Clause Space Detail table (F15702)

  • Legal Clause Space Detail Audit table (F157021)

  • Legal Clause Amounts table (F15703)

As an alternative to reviewing legal clause information online, you can generate these reports to review critical dates and corresponding information:

  • Legal Clause Report (R15710).

  • Legal Clause Options Audit Report (R157101).

  • Space Detail Audit Report (R157102).

4.3.1.1 Space Detail and Space Detail Audit Information

You can enter multiple space detail records for legal clauses. Space detail records include information such as leasable units, occupied floors, and square footage amounts. You can also assign a hierarchy level to specify which rights take precedence between legal clauses within the same lease or within legal clauses that are attached to leases or different tenants. The system uses the next numbers feature to sequence space detail records.

You can enter space detail audit information on the Space Detail Audit Revisions form. You can assign dates to each space detail record, such as the date that the space was offered and the date that a decision is required. You can also specify whether the offer was accepted or declined.

The system stores space detail information in these tables:

  • Legal Clause Space Detail (F15702)

  • Legal Clause Space Detail Audit (F157021)

4.3.1.2 Clause Amounts and Clause Amount Audit Information

After you enter legal clause information, you can assign applicable amounts to the clause. When you enter an amount, you should specify the type of amount, such as currency amounts, fees, percentages, number of days, and miles. You can also enter effective dates that specify the beginning and end of the term.

You can enter clause amount audit information on the Clause Options Audit Revisions form. When you audit clauses, you review and track the options that were taken on the lease, along with the corresponding dates that relate to clause offers, decisions, and statuses.

The system stores clause amounts information in these tables:

  • Legal Clause Amounts (F15703)

  • Legal Clause Options Audit (F15701)

4.3.2 Prerequisite

Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must enter option types in the Lease Option Type Information program (P157011).

  • Set processing options for Expiring Leases Inquiry (P154030).

  • Review expiring leases.

  • Set processing options for Tenant Rent Roll Inquiry (P154210).

  • Review rent amounts for active leases.

4.4.1 Understanding Leases Dates

The following programs enable you to review dates associated with a lease.

4.4.1.1 Critical Date Inquiry program (P15204)

A critical date is any date on which an action or a decision is required. Use the Critical Date Inquiry program (P15204) to review dates for required actions or decisions about leases or facilities. You can add critical dates to a lease, unit, property, building, or clause. You can review critical dates for all types of log details and clauses. For example, you can review the date on which you have to renew the insurance or send renewal reminders.

You can search for critical dates on the Work with Log Detail Critical Dates form using this criteria:

  • Lease number.

  • Property or building.

  • Date range.

  • Log class.

  • Resolution status of a lease log line.

If you select a log detail record on the Work with Log Detail Critical Dates form, the system displays the appropriate form according to the type of log detail. For example, if the log is set up for a building, the system displays the Building Revisions form, from which you can select Log Details from the Form menu.

To review critical dates that are associated with clauses:

  • Select Clause Dates from the Form menu on the Work with Log Detail Critical Dates form.

  • Select Critical Date from the Form menu on the Work With Legal Clauses form.

4.4.1.2 Expiring Leases Inquiry program (P154030)

  • Building/Business Unit (Release 9.1 Update)

  • Unit

  • Asset Number (Release 9.1 Update)

  • Tenant

  • Lease/Version

  • Lease Type

The P154030 program retrieves information from the Lease Master Header (F1501B) and Lease Master Detail (F15017) tables, as well as rent information from the Recurring Billings Master table (F1502B).

(Release 9.1 Update) If you are working with lessee leases, you can view expiring leases using the Work With Amortization Schedules program (P15171). See Section 22.3, "Processing Lease Commencement for Balance Sheet Lessee Accounting" for additional information.

4.4.1.3 Tenant Rent Roll Inquiry program (P154210)

The Tenant Rent Roll Inquiry program (P154210) is a self-service program that enables you to review rent amounts that are in effect as of specific date. You can review occupied units, vacant units, or both occupied and vacant units.

You can search for rent amounts on the Rent Roll Inquiry form using this criteria:

  • Lease

  • Tenant

  • Building

  • Unit

  • Unit Type

The P154210 program retrieves information from the Recurring Master Billings table (F1502B). Quantities that are associated with the recurring billing records include monthly, annual, gross amounts, and amounts per square foot.

  • Set processing options for Update Holdover Dates (R15090).

4.5.1 Understanding Holdover Dates

When a tenant wants to remain in a facility after the lease has expired, the lease becomes known as a holdover. You can extend the lease dates by several months or days for one or more holdover leases using the Update Holdover Dates program (R15090).


Note:

To update records for all leases in holdover status using the R15090 program, you change each lease's status to holdover status on the Lease Master Revisions form and define the holdover code during data selection.

See Setting Up Lease Information.

4.5.2 Prerequisite

Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must set up user-defined codes to include a holdover lease status in UDC table 15/LS.

4.5.3 Running the Update Holdover Dates Program

Select Holdover (G1525), Update Holdover Dates.

3: Select all leases with an end date (or planned out date) in the range of dates from the date in option 1 to the date in option 2, and extend all end dates by the number of months entered in the Increment Days/Month processing option.

4: Select all leases with an end date (or planned out date) in the range of dates from the date in option 1 to the date in option 2, and extend all end dates by the number of months entered in the Increment Days/Month processing option and set the end date to the last day of the month.

4. New Lease End Date

Specify the new end date for the selected leases, which is based on the Date Selection Criteria option. If you set the Date Selection Criteria processing option to 1, the system uses the date in this field as the new end date for all leases in the specified range.

5. Increment Days/Months

Specify the number of days or months the system uses to increment the lease end date, which is based on the Date Selection Criteria processing option.

If you have set the Date Selection Criteria processing option to 2, the number you enter here is the number of days the system adds to the lease end date. If you set the Date Selection Criteria processing option to 3 or 4, the number you enter here indicates the number of months the system adds to the lease end date. (Maximum increment = 999).

6. Last Day of Month

Specify whether to extend the new lease end date to the last day of the new month, if the current end date is the last day of the month. For example, assume that the current lease end date is February 28th and you are extending the lease for six months. If you activate this processing option, the new lease end date changes to August 31st. In this example, if you had not activated this processing option, the system would have assigned a new lease end date of August 28th. Values are:

Blank: Extend the new end date of the lease to the same day in the new lease end month as the current lease end day.

1: Extend the new lease end date to the last day of the new lease end month.

1: Dollar value.

4. Enter Adjustment Amount

Specify the amount by which to increase the gross amount for recurring billing records. Enter a percentage value as a whole number, for example, enter 5 1/4 percent as 5.25.

If the adjustment indicator equals 1, the system adds the increase to the gross amount. If the adjustment indicator is blank, the system multiplies the increase by the gross amount.


Note:

If you enter a value in this processing option, the system adds an audit trail record to the tables specified in the processing options on the Update tab, regardless of how the Create an Audit Trail processing option is populated.

5. Adjustment Currency Code

Specify the currency code of recurring billing records. If the Adjustment Indicator processing option is blank, or if Currency Processing in GL Accounting Constants is set to N, the system ignores this processing option.


Note:

If you enter a value in this processing option, the system adds an audit trail record to the tables specified in the processing options on the Update tab, regardless of how the Create an Audit Trail processing option is populated.

6. Taxable Amount Adjustment

Specify how to modify the taxable amount. The system uses this processing option when the Gross Amount is not equal to the Taxable Amount and both amounts are greater than zero. The system adjusts the Gross Amount based on the Adjustment Indicator and Adjustment Amount. Values are:

Blank: Do not adjust.

1: Adjust the Taxable Amount by the dollar change to the Gross Amount.

2: Adjust the Taxable Amount by the percentage change to the Gross Amount.
