Termination Quotes

This chapter covers the following topics:

Overview

Termination quotes allow contracts, or assets on a contract, to terminate early or at the expiration of the contract. When a contract is terminated with the purchase of the asset, the asset becomes off-lease and is available to the asset-return-to-disposal processes for remarketing or disposal.

The section includes the following topics:

Reasons for Termination Quotes

Reasons for termination quotes include the following:

Levels of Termination

Oracle Lease and Finance Management supports the following levels of termination:

The termination of an asset line, or of some of the units of an asset line, is called a partial termination, or asset-level termination. Asset-level termination rebooks the original contract, without the terminated assets, with updated yields and insurance, and new contract-level and asset-level streams.

Contract terms and conditions define asset termination, including whether partial termination is allowed. The quotation process identifies the financial impact of the contract termination.

Forms of Termination Quotes

Lease and Finance Management allows the following two forms of termination quotes:

Standard Termination Quote

Lease and Finance Management generates a standard termination quote based on the terms and conditions set up in a contract.

Manual Termination Quote

Lease and Finance Management generates a manual termination quote when you bypass the terms and conditions of a contract and select the quote elements as you create the quote.

Note: Even if the contract's Termination Quote Process terms and conditions include the condition that partial termination is not allowed, you can create a partial termination quote using a manual termination quote.

In both standard and manual termination quotes, you can quote to terminate either the whole contract, or complete asset lines, or some of the units of individual asset lines.

You can also terminate assets without an explicit quote, by first entering a list of assets to terminate into an interface table, and then running a concurrent program.

Note: All amounts specified in a termination quote are in the contract currency.

Types of Termination Quotes

Lease and Finance Management supports the following types of termination quotes:

If you are creating a manual termination quote, the valid quote types are:

Methods of Termination Quote Acceptance

The methods of quote acceptance are:

Supported Contract Stages for Termination Quotes

The current termination quote process supports quote generation at the following stages of the contract's life:

Note: The parameter End of Term Tolerance Days in the contract's Termination Quote Process terms and conditions controls what is considered an early termination as opposed to an end of term termination. End of Term Tolerance Days specifies the number of days prior to the contract end date during which a termination quote is for an end of term termination; any termination quote before this is an early termination quote.

At all of these stages, you can generate quotes to include or exclude the purchase of the asset.

Supported Combinations of Quote Line Types

The following table shows valid combinations of quote line types and contract situations for termination quotes.

Auto Termination

When an Asset Manager accepts a termination quote for a fixed rate contract, the Lease and Finance Management termination process will verify that billing and accrual have been processed for the contract until the quote Effective From date.

If billing has not been processed, Lease and Finance Management will automatically run a billing program to complete the termination. If accrual has not been processed, Lease and Finance Management will automatically run an accrual program for fixed rate contracts to complete the termination.

Termination Quotes for Repossession

Repossession Overview

For delinquent loans, lenders need to be able to repossess assets on the contract. Lease and Finance Management enables the repossession of loan assets through the existing Termination Quote infrastructure. Lease and Finance Management allows users to terminate loan contacts and repossess assets on the contract. Repossessed assets are created in Oracle Fixed Assets using user-defined values.

The accounting process for repossessed assets is supported by Oracle Subledger Accounting. Termination quotes for repossession functionality is not enabled for the account derivation method of Accounting Template Set (ATS).

Asset Managers or Operation Managers can perform the following steps to repossess loan assets.

  1. Create a termination quote for repossession

  2. Process repossessed assets

  3. Post-processing of repossessed assets (remarket, scrap, re-lease)

Repossession Setup

Before termination quotes for repossession can be processed, you must complete the setup tasks for repossession. To set up termination quotes for repossession, see Termination Quotes for Repossession Setup, Oracle Lease and Finance Management Implementation Guide.

Repossession Process

When a loan is delinquent, you begin the repossession process by creating a repossession request in Lease and Finance Management. The following table outlines the repossession request process.

Repossession Request Process
Field Description
Create Termination Quote for Repossession Create a termination quote for repossession of the type Termination - Manual Without Purchase
Update Termination Quote for Repossession Optionally, you can update the asset details and repossession quote amounts.
Submit Termination Quote for Repossession for Approval The Approver reviews the repossession request and approves the termination quote for repossession. On approval of the repossession request, asset return requests are created in Scheduled status.
View and Update Asset Return Request You can view and update the asset return request created for a repossession quote.
Accept Termination Quote for Repossession Accept the termination quote for repossession to process the contract termination. The repossessed asset is created and accounted for in Oracle Fixed Assets.
Asset Repossession Report At any point in the process, you can generate an Asset Repossession Report for loans by running the Generate Pending Asset Repossession Report for Loans concurrent program. Reports are run for an operating unit or for a contract in the operating unit.

Create Termination Quote for Repossession

  1. To create a termination quote for repossession, navigate to Customers > Contracts and query the loan contract for which you want to create a repossession quote.

  2. Select Terminate and click Go.

  3. Select Termination Quote for Repossession from the Create dropdown menu and click Go. This will create a manual termination quote of the type Termination - Manual Without Purchase.

  4. You can select the Repossession Quote reason or you can define a new quote reason.

Update Termination Quote for Repossession

  1. To update asset details and repossession quote amounts, navigate to Asset Management > Termination Quotes > Update Termination Quote.

  2. Optionally, you can modify the Effective To date on a termination quote for repossession to NULL.

Submit Termination Quote for Repossession for Approval

  1. To submit a termination quote for repossession to the Approver, navigate to Asset Management > Termination Quotes and search for the repossession quote to be submitted.

  2. Click Submit.

Approval Conditions

The following conditions apply to this process:

View and Update Asset Return Request

  1. To view or update an asset return request navigate to Asset Management > Return Requests.

  2. Query the contract number or asset number of the Repossession Quote in the Asset Return Request page. The Asset Return Request for the assets on the repossessed contract is displayed with a return status of Scheduled.

  3. To update an Asset Return Request, select Update Asset Return Details from the Asset Return dropdown menu and click Go.

The following table describes Asset Return Request fields:

Asset Return Request Fields
Field Description Mandatory or Optional
Return Status Status of the Asset Return Mandatory
Date Notified Date notification was sent Optional
Date Title Returned Date the title was updated Optional
Date Returned Date the asset was returned Mandatory
Remarketer Name of the remarketing agent Optional
Date Return Value The due date of the asset return Optional
Return Value The fair market value of the asset on the date it was returned Mandatory
Comments Recorded notes or comments Optional

Accept Repossession Quote

Prerequisites

Before a repossession quote can be accepted, the following conditions must apply:

Steps

  1. To accept a repossession quote, navigate to Asset Management > Termination Quotes > Update Termination Quote and query the contract for which you want to a accept repossession quote.

  2. Select the Accepted checkbox and click Update.

The repossession quote will be accepted and the process will trigger the Termination workflow. The contract will be terminated and the assets will automatically be created in Oracle Fixed Assets with the values derived from the loan repossession setups.

Valuate a Repossessed Asset

To valuate the repossessed asset, the Loan Administrator must determine its Fair Market Value (FMV). When the FMV is determined, the Loan Administrator can manually writedown the value in Oracle Fixed Assets to FMV if the fixed asset value is less than the FMV.

For more information on the process, see Oracle Assets User Guide.

When these steps are completed, the repossessed asset is ready to be remarketed, scrapped, or re-leased onto another contract.

Asset Repossession Report

To create an Asset Repossession Report, run the Generate Pending Asset Repossession Report for Loans concurrent program. This report will display all Approved repossession quotes and associated asset returns. The report can be run for all contracts in an operating unit, or for a single contract in an operating unit.

Create Termination Quote

Creating a termination quote involves identifying the contract and asset for which you are creating the quote.

Use this procedure to create a termination quote. In this procedure, you select a contract to place it in context of the quote. You can specify an Effective Date of the quote. The Effective Date can be a prior date or a future date. If the Effective Date is not specified, the system date will default. You can also choose whether to terminate some or all of the units of each asset line of the contract.

The business rules of the contract determine the type of the termination quote.

For example:

For standard termination quotes, the amount is calculated based on the terms and conditions set up when the contract is booked.

You can create a manual termination at any time after contract booking. When you create a manual termination quote, you initially follow similar procedures as for creating a standard termination quote. The initial quote amount generated when you create a manual termination quote is simply the value of the outstanding receivables. You normally then edit the manual termination quote by adding your own quote type lines and additional amounts.

The Estimated Billing Adjustment quote line cannot be modified.

Termination Quote Roles

Five roles are available for termination quotes:

Prerequisites

Your contract must have the following:

Steps

Perform the following steps using the Termination Quotes page:

  1. Select the applicable option in the Create field and click Go.

    The Create Termination Quote page opens.

  2. Select the operating unit.

    Note: The list of values includes operating units assigned to the MO: Security profile.

    Note: The selected operating unit restricts the valid list of values in applicable fields.

    The application displays the selected operating unit as the default in the subsequent pages irrespective of the value that you set for the MO: Default Operating Unit profile option.

  3. Select the contract number for which you want to create the termination quote.

  4. Enter the Effective Date for the quote.

  5. In the Quote Type field, choose a quote type.

  6. In the Quote Reason field, choose the reason for the quote.

    This is a required field.

  7. In the Comments field, enter any optional comments that you may want to include.

Assets

  1. In the Assets area, select one or more assets to which you want to apply the termination quote.

  2. For each selected asset, enter the number of units to terminate.

    The number of units to terminate can be less than the number of units on the asset line of the contract.

    If you select all the assets, and do not alter the default number of units to terminate, then this results in a full termination quote; if you do not select all assets, or reduce the number of units to terminate, then this results in a partial termination quote.

Parties

  1. During the authoring of the contract, party details may be specified among the Termination Quote Process terms and conditions. If specified, they serve as default values for termination quotes.

    You may override the default values by selecting and entering values in the fields in the Parties section of the Create Termination Quote page, to satisfy the following conditions:

    • Recipient: You must select a contract role in the Recipient row.

    • Additional Recipient (optional): If you want another recipient for the quote, select a contract role in the Additional Recipient row, and in the Additional Recipient Percentage field further down the page, enter the percentage by which you are splitting the billing for that additional recipient.

    • Approver (optional): This is the party to approve the termination quote before it is sent. If you select a contract role in the Approver row, then you must leave the Advance Notice row blank, and you must not complete the Advance Notice Delay Days field.

    • Advance Notice (optional) is the party who receives notification before the quote is sent. If you select a contract role in the Advance Notice row, then you must leave the Approver row blank, and you must also complete the Advance Notice Delay Days field further down the page, which specifies the number of days to delay before the quote is sent.

    • Courtesy Copy (optional) is the party to notify for informational purposes.

    • You may enter the email address for any contract role that you select.

      Note: You cannot specify both the Approver role and the Advance Notice role in one termination quote.

  2. Click Apply.

    Your quote number and quote amount appear in the Termination Quotes or Manual Termination Quotes page.

    If you are creating a standard termination quote, this completes the process.

    If you are creating a manual termination quote, at this point you have created a basic outline of the manual termination quote, to which you generally add your own quote type lines and additional amounts. For more information, see Add or Remove Manual Termination Quote Lines.

  5. Click Update.

Effective Date Termination

The effective date is the user-specified date used for termination quote calculation. Lease and Finance Management supports the following two methods of effective date termination:

Prior Dated Termination

The process of terminating a contract on a user-specified date which is before the quote creation date. For prior dated terminations, quote calculation and billing adjustments are processed from the prior effective date. Contract termination is processed on the current date with adjustments from the prior effective date.

For prior dated terminations, you must ensure that the contract start date is later than the following:

Future Dated Termination

The process of terminating a contract on a user-specified date which is after the quote creation date. For future dated terminations, quote calculation, contract termination, and anticipated billing calculation are processed on the future effective date.

Prior and future effective date terminations can be used with both Full and Partial terminations, Standard and Automated terminations, and termination types of With Purchase or Without Purchase.

Effective date terminations can be viewed in the Lease Center, Customer Self Service, and Vendor Self Service.

Note: : Future dated rollover quotes can be created and Accepted, but cannot be Approved.

Rollover Termination Quotes

A rollover is a process in which the lessee terminates all or part of an existing transaction, sometimes at a discount, and finances the amount of the termination on a new deal. When the termination amount is added to a new contract, the termination quote is not billed to the lessee, but the amount is instead rolled over to a new contract or existing contract and priced into the new transaction.

In Lease and Finance Management, rollover termination quotes can be created with or without purchase for securitized and non-securitized transactions. Rollover termination quote amounts are rolled over as a financed amount on a fee line with the fee type of Rollover on a contract or lease sales quote.

Lease and Finance Management validations determine whether a rollover termination quote can be rolled over on a contract or sales quote. For example, the customer account of the rollover termination quote and the new contract must be the same.

Rollover fee lines cannot be created for external, or third party, termination quotes.

A rollover termination quote can only be accepted by booking a contract with the quote referenced on a rollover fee line.

To create a Rollover Termination Quote, see Create Termination Quote.

Rollover fees can be added to a lease contract during authoring. For information on adding rollover fees to a contract, see Fee Lines.

View or Update Termination Quote Amount Details

You can view and optionally change the amounts of the line types that are the components of a termination quote. After you have created a standard or a manual termination quote, the termination quote amount is visible in the Termination Quotes or Manual Termination Quotes page.

Use this process to see a breakdown of the components of the termination quote, or to change the amounts on the component line types of a termination quote

View or Update Termination Quote

You can view or update information about standard termination quotes. You can update two types of fields in a standard termination quote:

Common Standard Termination Quote Fields

Common standard termination quote fields are those fields that all standard termination quotes have in common, regardless of being based on the termination quote formula. Common standard termination quote fields that you can update include:

Quote Line Fields

You can update certain quote line fields in a standard termination quote depending on whether or not the termination quote formula that you used in the terms and conditions of your contract are correct and complete.

Standard termination quotes rely on the termination quote formula for calculation. You can use the default termination quote formula, or create your own termination quote formula during the implementation of Oracle Lease and Finance Management.

Correct Standard Termination Quote Line Fields

If the termination quote formula is correctly set up in the implementation of Oracle Lease and Finance Management, then Oracle Lease and Finance Management produces a standard termination quote with calculated values; you can update these fields:

Incomplete or Incorrect Standard Termination Quote Line Fields

If any of the required operands are missing from the termination quote formula or if you have not selected any termination quote formula in the contract terms and conditions, then Oracle Lease and Finance Management produces a standard termination quote that comprises only of certain fields, all of which have zero values and require manual updating. This documentation refers to this type of quote as a default standard termination quote. The available fields are:

Approve Termination Quotes

After you enter a standard termination quote, it is submitted for approval automatically and the approval process is controlled by general termination quote workflow. If the termination quote is rejected you need to revise it and create a manual termination quote.

After you create a manual termination quote, its first status is Drafted. To generate the approval process, you need to submit the manual termination quote for approval.

Prerequisites

You have created a termination quote.

Steps

Perform the following steps using the Termination Quotes page:

  1. Search for the termination quote.

  2. In the Results area, in the Quote Number column, click the quote number hyperlink of the quote that you want to approve.

  3. Click Submit for Approval.

Guidelines

You cannot change the content of the termination quote--such as the Effective To date or the assigned assets--after the status changes to Approved. Business rules determine whom to notify for approval.

Accept Termination Quotes

The following topics describe the two means of accepting termination quotes:

Accept the Termination Quote Automatically

Except for rollover terminations, automatic acceptance of a termination quote happens through the cash application routine of Oracle Lease and Finance Management. The automatic acceptance of termination quote occurs only if:

In the cash application routine, when the amount received matches the termination quote:

Accept the Termination Quote Manually

Use this procedure to manually approve a termination quote when:

Quote acceptance terminates the contract and changes its status to Accepted.

You can accept a termination quote two ways:

Manual acceptance of termination quote requires you to manually apply in Oracle Receivables the cash receipt to the invoice that the termination quote created and to any other outstanding invoices.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the termination quote's status is Approved.

You must run accruals for a contract till the termination quote acceptance date.

Note: While accepting the termination quote, Oracle Lease and Finance Management checks accruals for the contract based on the setup for the Check Accruals Till Previous Month system option. If you have selected this option, then the application checks accruals till Termination Quote Effective From Date's previous month's last day. Otherwise, the application checks accruals till Termination Quote Effective From Date.

Steps

Perform the following steps:

  1. Search for the termination quote.

  2. In the Results area in the Quote Number column, click the quote number hyperlink of the quote that you want to change.

    The Termination Quote details page opens.

  5. Select the Pre-Proceeds check box to terminate the contract upon acceptance.

  6. Click Save.

Terminate Assets Using a Program

Assets are terminated by entering a list of assets to terminate into an interface table, and then running a concurrent program. An explicit quote is not required.

The main purpose of the program is to create termination quotes for the assets specified. Generally, the quotes will be for asset-level terminations, also known as partial terminations. If all the assets for a contract are specified to be terminated, then the quote will be for a contract termination.

You can specify whether you wish the quotes to be standard or manual termination quotes. For the standard termination quotes, you can also set a flag to automatically accept the quote, which helps to automate the termination of the asset or contract.

The table that you must populate is OKL_TERMNT_INTERFACE.

Enter the following columns in the table:

Another important column that automates the asset termination process is AUTO_ACCEPT_YN. If you set the value of this column to Y for standard, that is, non-manual asset termination quotes, then, if the quote is successfully created by the program, it is automatically submitted for approval. When the approval is granted, the quote is processed to completion; that is, the asset or contract is terminated.

After you have entered all the asset information into the OKL_TERMNT_INTERFACE table, run the concurrent program Process Termination Interface Transactions. See Concurrent Programs.

After the program has finished, view the output report to see a summary of the following:

An example of a row that is processed but generates an error is if the value of AUTO_ACCEPT_YN is set to Y. The quote may be created successfully, but the automatic acceptance may fail.

Obtain Third-Party Approval for Repurchasing Leased Asset

When you have a repurchase agreement, the third party--the source or supplier of the leased asset--has agreed to receive the asset according to agreed-upon terms in the repurchase agreement. The agreed-upon terms can be either an amount or a formula. The remarketer requests a quote for the vendor, and the third party approves the quote.

The repurchasing agreement specifies the price that the third party pays the lessor for repurchasing the asset. The price is either a fixed amount or a formula-based amount.

Note: All amounts specified in a repurchase quote are in the ledger currency.
