In Lucanet Lease Accounting, a lessee is the party who receives the right to use an asset under the conditions of a lease contract. Lease Accounting records leases separately for each lessee.

In your role as lessee, you can select the companies you want to be configured as reporting entities in Consolidation & Financial Planning. To ensure that the reporting entities are available in Lease Accounting, the existing reporting entities in Lucanet Consolidation & Financial Planning first need to be imported into Lease Accounting.

You import and manage reporting entities in the Reporting entities workspace in Lease Accounting.

Users with a standalone license for Lucanet Lease Accounting can create reporting entities directly within Lease Accounting, rather than importing them. For details, see Creating Reporting Entities in Lease Accounting.

Until at least one reporting entity exists in Lease Accounting, a warning icon appears next to Reporting entities in the Settings menu. The icon disappears once you import or create your first reporting entity.

Shows the 'Settings' menu in Lucanet Lease Accounting with the items 'Reporting entities', 'Cost centers', 'Asset classes', 'Interest rates', and 'General configurations', and a warning icon next to 'Reporting entities', 'Asset classes', and 'General configurations'.

The Reporting entities workspace in Lease Accounting displays all the reporting entities that have already been imported from Consolidation & Financial Planning:

Shows the 'Reporting entities' workspace in Lucanet Lease Accounting with the 'Import from CFP' button and a table with the columns 'Technical ID', 'OID', 'Reporting entity', 'Country or region', and 'Functional currency', listing reporting entities such as '032BBB_E2E_test' with the country 'Germany' and the currency 'EUR'. Highlighted in red is the 'Reporting entities' item under 'Settings' in the navigation.

Assign a Country or region and a Functional currency for Lease Accounting to each of the new reporting entities you have imported. You can edit these fields directly in the overview table, or click the Edit icon icon in the row, go to the General information tab, and select the required entry from the drop-down list.

The following notes apply to the Country or region and Functional currency fields of reporting entities in Lease Accounting:

  • Editing Country or region and Functional currency fields in the overview table supports bulk updates when many reporting entities are imported from Consolidation & Financial Planning and is especially useful for migrations, for example from the IFRS 16 script to the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform.
  • The functional currency can only be changed as long as no components have been calculated for the reporting entity.

If necessary, configure any additional details required to use the reporting entity in Lease Accounting. For details, see Editing Reporting Entities in Lease Accounting.

Click Update.

To ensure that reporting entities created at a later date in Consolidation & Financial Planning can be used in Lease Accounting, execute a new import and assign a Country or region and a Functional currency to each newly imported reporting entity.

When another import run is executed, only those reporting entities that have been created since the last import will be added. Any details that have already been edited in existing reporting entities will remain unchanged; they will not be overwritten when you perform a new import.

To edit the details of an imported reporting entity in Lease Accounting, go to the reporting entity in question in the overview table and click the Edit icon icon in the corresponding row.
