Before you can enter or process a lease for billing or payment, you must set up the tables that form the foundation of the PeopleSoft Real Estate Management system.
All tables and setup information specific to PeopleSoft Real Estate Management are discussed in this chapter.
See Defining Financials and Supply Chain Management Common Definitions.
Effective Date |
The date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing would be July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages and batch processes that use the information use the current row. |
SetID |
An identification code that represents a set of control table information or tablesets. A tableset is a group of tables (records) that are necessary to define your company's structure and processing options. |
Status (effective status) |
Indicates whether a row in a table is active or inactive. You cannot display inactive rows on transaction pages or use them for running batch processes. You should inactivate data that you no longer use rather than delete it to maintain an audit trail. |
To define the lease abstract sections to print, use the lease abstract sections component (RE_ABST_SECT).
This section provides an overview of lease abstract sections and discusses how to define the lease abstract sections to print.
PeopleSoft Real Estate Management enables you to use a lease abstract worksheet to assist in quick entry of the terms and conditions of the lease. You can also print the lease abstract when you have completed lease entry to provide you with a summary.
The lease sections on the Lease Abstract page are specific pages from the Maintain Lease pages. You can specify all sections or only the sections that you choose to use.

To define amendment types, use the Amendment Type and Reasons component (RE_AMND_TYPE).
This section provides an overview of amendment types and discusses how to define amendment types.
PeopleSoft Real Estate Management requires that any changes you make to active lease terms and conditions be processed through an amendment. When you create an amendment, the system creates a copy of the current lease details and preserves this as a historical record. The system then creates a new amendment, whereby you can define the changes.
Amendment types work with amendment reasons to provide the lease viewers with a quick explanation as to why an amendment is being made. A parent-child relationship exists between the amendment type and amendment reason. For example, you might have an amendment type of Financial Terms Increase and a reason of Increased Parking Fees. You must define the amendment reasons that are specific to the amendment type to view the amendment reason for that type. Before you can create amendments to a lease, you must define amendment types and amendment reasons.
Note. The amendment type is informational only—no processing occurs.

To define lease types, use the Lease Types component (RE_LEASE_TYPE).
This section provides an overview of lease types and discusses how to define lease types.
Lease types enable you to categorize leases for processing and reporting purposes. You may have many lease types, such as operating leases, warehouse leases, and subleases. You can also use lease types for statistical reporting. You can select a sublease type for a lease and run a report to track all subleases associated with a lease.
When you create a lease type, you associate it with a lease category. The lease category determines the processing of that lease type. For example, if you have a lease type of Reporting, the system recognizes that the lease associated with this lease type is for analytical reporting. No further processing occurs.

Lease Category |
Select the lease category for the lease type. The category determines how to sort or report the various lease types. Values are: Reporting: No processing occurs. Sub Lease: When you create a sublease, you must enter the associated parent lease number. The system validates the Parent Lease field to ensure that a parent lease is associated with the sublease. |
To define regions, use the Region Codes component (REGION_CD).
This section provides an overview of region codes.
Regions can be physical entities or geographical areas. When a region represents a physical entity, the region code has the same characteristics as a business, that is, address and language. In PeopleSoft Real Estate Management, you must associate a region with a lease to enable cost reporting by the various regions with which your organization does business. For example, you may require a report for all leased properties in the Midwest region and in the Northeast region. By assigning a region to your lease, you can capture the data as required.
When creating or updating an existing region, be sure to select the category of Reporting as the default category. After you define the region, you can select the region for your lease and begin capturing the data for your reports.
See Establishing Regions and Region Codes.
To define user-defined fields, use the User Defined Fields components (RE_USER_DEF_FLDS).
This section provides an overview of user-defined fields and discusses how to define user-defined fields.
Because not all businesses have the same reporting needs, PeopleSoft Real Estate Management enables you to define additional fields (up to 10) to meet your reporting requirements. When you establish a user-defined field, the field is populated on your Clauses page in the PeopleSoft Real Estate Management system, enabling you to enter the information that you want to track.
Note. User-defined fields are used for information or reporting purposes only.

To define transaction routing codes, use the Transaction Routing Code components (RE_TXN_ROUTE).
This section provides an overview of transaction routing codes and discusses how to define transaction routing codes.
Use transaction routing codes to define the routing of transactions to PeopleSoft Billing, Payables, and General Ledger. The transaction routing codes also provide the default ChartFields and taxation rules to be used by each financial application. You can associate a transaction routing code with one or more transaction types or transaction groups, providing default handling for any transaction item that belongs to a group that does not have an explicit routing code assigned.

Billing Charge |
Select a billing charge. PeopleSoft Billing uses the billing charge code to process transactions for PeopleSoft Real Estate Management. The billing charge classifies real estate transactions. Note. Billing charges apply only to receivables lease transactions. |
Withholding Applicable |
Select whether withholding is applicable. The withholding applicable determines whether the voucher that is generated in PeopleSoft Payables is applicable to tax withholding. Values are: Yes: Select if withholding applies on transactions associated with this transaction routing code. Withholding does not apply if the vendor on the lease does not withhold. Withholding from PeopleSoft Real Estate Management overrides the withholding in PeopleSoft Payables. No: Select if withholding does not apply. Note. Withholding applies only to payables lease transactions. |
Withholding Code |
Select the withholding code for the associated withholding applicable. The system applies the withholding code to the voucher in PeopleSoft Payables to determine the withholding amount for the lease transaction. If Withholding Applicable is set to Yes, and no value is selected for the withholding code, PeopleSoft Payables applies the standard default when the vendor is set up for withholding. |
Note. Set up vendor information accordingly on the Procurement Control - Withholding page for proper withholding defaults.
See Setting Up PeopleSoft Payables Withholding.
Tax Applicability |
Select the tax that is applicable to payables transactions. Use this field to determine the excise duty and sales tax applicability details. Values are Direct Pay, Exempt, Exonerated, Sales Tax, and Use Tax. Note. Tax applicability applies only to payables lease transactions. |

To define operating expense categories, use the Operating Expense Categories component (RE_EXP_CLASS).
This section provides an overview of operating expense categories and lists the pages used to define operating expense categories.
When landlords lease properties to tenants, terms for recoverable expenses that are incurred on general operations and maintenance of the building are written into the lease. Operating expenses is also commonly referred to as common area maintenance (CAM). You can identify the different recoverable expenses incurred by assigning them to an operating expense category. Operating expense categories enable you to associate a transaction routing code to ensure that financial processing occurs to handle the expense.

To define sales categories, use the Sales Categories component (RE_SALE_CAT).
This section provides an overview of sales categories and lists the pages used to define sales categories.
Use sales categories to identify merchandise classifications for percentage rent calculations. Tenants can negotiate a lower monthly base rent in exchange for a percentage of their sales, broken down by categories. For example, a tenant may lease a building for retail sale for a set base rent, selling items such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. These items are set up as sales categories, enabling the tenant to provide the landlord a monthly report of sales by category and amount of sales. The amount or percentage of the sales paid to the landlord is determined during lease negotiations.
After you define the sales categories and percentage sales terms are negotiated, you can enter the percent rent terms specifying the breakpoints for each category. Use breakpoints to determine the percentage or amount to bill. Landlords can calculate or recalculate the billable amount by using the percent rent sales feature.

Using the security deposit type enables the system to track whether the security deposit is a bank guarantee, cash, or prepaid. Security deposit types enable you to track the deposits received and also the interest that is generated by security deposits.
Security deposit types facilitate the processing of security deposits received or paid. By selecting the appropriate category for each security deposit type, the PeopleSoft Real Estate Management system determines how the security deposit is handled. There are three security deposit categories: Charge, Guarantee and Prepaid. You can create and assign a deposit type to categories.

To define a real estate option definition and mail template, use the Option Definition (RE_LEASE_OPTION) and Mail Template (RE_OPTION_MAIL) components.
This section provides an overview of real estate options discusses how to:
Define real estate options.
Define real estate option mail templates.
Copy mail templates.
Insert mail fields.
Review real estate option mail samples.
Lease and SAR (site acquisition request) options are used to identify clauses. Real estate options can be the same as a clause with a critical date as a reminder to take action for that option. You can define whether you receive a reminder when an action is required. Options are usually associated with critical dates (dates by which the option is exercised). Lease renewals, terminations, and early terminations are options that may require an action that is defined in the lease.
When you define your real estate options, you can also create a mail template with standard messaging to notify a user when an action is to take place. The mail template enables you to enter your own message, copy from an existing option message, or combine your message with field inserts.
Click the Copy From Option button to select a message from an existing option. For example, you can have multiple termination options; however, the message that you have associated with each option can be the same. Copying from an existing option eliminates data entry redundancy.
Note. Critical dates cause the system to send email notifications to specified users, as well as generate entries in a user's tasklist. However, do not confuse a tasklist with the worklist in PeopleSoft Workflow. Critical dates do not use standard PeopleSoft Workflow. When entries are created in My Tasklist, they are there for informational purposes only. They do not initiate any further downstream processing, nor does any rerouting or validation indicate that specific tasks are completed. Users can choose to mark entries in their tasklists as complete; however, this is for their own information. The system does not use the data in the same way that PeopleSoft Workflow might. Email notifications are generated through the Critical Dates Template - Template Option Details page setup.

To define lease critical date templates, use the critical date template component (RE_CRDT_TMPLT).
This section provides an overview of critical date templates and discusses how to:
Define critical date templates.
Define option notifications.
A lease may have a variety of events that occur throughout the lease life cycle. Some of these events may require intervention by various interested parties associated with the lease. These events are usually, but not always, associated with an option clause contained in the lease.
You can use lease events to track key milestones (such as security deposits and lease termination), lease options (such as renewals and right of first offer), or other activities (such as lease activation approval). Because each interested party needs to have early warning when these dates become due, the critical date template enables you to set up alerts to remind you to take the appropriate actions.
When you need to be alerted of dates for an event that requires an action or decision, you can do so by associating the critical dates template with that lease. You must define the critical date template and schedule the template to alert you once, on a specific date, or using a timetable. You can also select the lease options and the recipients that are to receive the alerts.
For example, if you want to be notified when a lease is up for renewal before it expires, you can set the critical date notification to notify you six months in advance, again every month for the final three months, once a week in the final month, and then every other day in the last two weeks.

Role types enable you to define the many contacts stored within your PeopleSoft Real Estate Management system. They are also used to identify critical date recipients. You can set up a role as a role type. Role types can be a lease administrator, portfolio manager, landlord, tenant, billing clerk, payables clerk, bank contact, and so on.
After you set up the role type, you associate the role category to determine approval processing. When auto-approval is enabled, roles that are assigned the role type of Internal Administrator and Internal Manager can activate leases. If auto-approval is disabled, only the role that is assigned to the Internal Manager role type can activate leases.
Note. You must define at least one role type for your PeopleSoft Real Estate Management system.
