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.

Use the Lease Types page (RE_LEASE_TYPE) to define lease types.
