When you have assessed and calculated the components in Lucanet Lease Accounting, you can save their postings in the Lease Accounting database.

Before you save the postings, you can display the components to be posted and preview the pending postings in the Preview and save postings workspace.

You can export the saved postings and import them into other systems. If you use Lucanet Lease Accounting integrated with Consolidation & Financial Planning, you can additionally import the postings directly into Consolidation & Financial Planning using a script.

Before you save postings in Lucanet Lease Accounting for the previously calculated components, you can display all the components to be posted that have not yet been posted up to a selected date.

To display the components to be posted in Lucanet Lease Accounting:

Navigate to Postings | Components to be posted.

Select the Accounting period up to which you want to display the components that have not yet been posted. The components are displayed in a table:

Shows the 'Components to be posted' workspace in Lucanet Lease Accounting with the mandatory 'Accounting period' field set to '2026-10' and a table with the columns 'Date', 'Contract number', 'Component number', 'Asset class', and 'Status', listing the component 'Demo_Component_1' of the contract 'Demo_Contract_1' with the asset class 'Car Fleet' and the status 'Stock component' for '2026-09-30' and '2026-10-31'. Highlighted in red are the 'Components to be posted' item in the 'Postings' navigation, the 'Accounting period' field, and the table. — 'Components to be posted' workspace

The Status column indicates whether a component is a new component (NEW_POSITION) that is being added for the first time or a stock component (STOCK_POSITION) that is being updated by the posting.

In the Preview and save postings workspace of Lucanet Lease Accounting, you display the pending postings for calculated components and check the postings before saving. You can also preview postings for the current month and future months. A preview does not save postings or change component data.

To preview and save postings in Lucanet Lease Accounting:

Navigate to Postings | Preview and save postings.

In the Reporting entities drop-down list, select one, several, or all reporting entities (default: the reporting entity you are signed into) for which you would like to save the postings.

If you use an integration between Lease Accounting and Consolidation & Financial Planning, you can import the saved postings for multiple reporting entities simultaneously using a script.

Under Preview or save postings up to, select the posting period up to which you want to preview or save postings. You can select a completed month, the current month, or a future month. The table in Previewing Periods That Have Not Ended in Lease Accounting explains when you can preview postings and when you can save them.

Click Preview postings. The table lists every posting that has not yet been saved for the selection, and the number of Posting lines and Contracts is displayed next to the buttons.

Shows the 'Preview & save postings' workspace in Lucanet Lease Accounting with the 'Next Steps' info box, the 'Reporting entities' drop-down list with 'Action_Buttons_Demo - Action Buttons Demo' selected, the 'Save postings up to' field set to '2026-10', the 'Preview postings' and 'Save postings' buttons, the counters 'Posting lines: 12' and 'Contracts: 1', the label 'Preview only — not a booking voucher', the 'Export' button, and the preview table with the columns 'Reporting entity', 'Contract component', 'Document date', 'Posting date', 'Posting type', 'Movement type', 'D/C', and 'Account number'. — The preview table with pending postings

The preview does not change any data. Click Export to export the previewed postings as an XLSX file; the exported file is marked as Preview only — not a booking voucher.

If saving is available for the selected period and components, click Save postings. The Save Postings dialog is displayed:

Shows the 'Save Postings' dialog in Lucanet Lease Accounting with the text 'The postings for the selected period and reporting entities will be saved to the database.', the fields 'SAVE POSTINGS UP TO' with the value 'October 2026' and 'REPORTING ENTITIES' with the value '1', and the 'Cancel' and 'Confirm' buttons. — The 'Save Postings' dialog

Confirm the Save Postings dialog, which displays the selected period and the number of selected reporting entities. The postings are saved automatically in the Lease Accounting database.

Save the postings after each month to ensure that the postings receive the correct posting date.

Previewing before saving is optional — if the selected period and components permit saving, you can click Save postings without displaying the preview first.

Lease Accounting creates the postings according to the active transaction plan (see General Configurations in Lease Accounting). If the transaction plan contains no accounts for the asset class type of a component, Lease Accounting creates no postings for the component. When you preview or save postings, the log of the task under Active tasks then lists each contract component that has lease records to be posted but for which no posting was created.

Lucanet Lease Accounting distinguishes between previewing a period and saving its postings. The following table describes the rules for the selected reporting entities and their components:

Selected period	Preview	Saving postings
Completed month	You can preview postings. Currency translation uses the applicable rates for the completed periods.	You can save postings if the required exchange rates are available.
Current month before the last day, without components that require currency translation	You can preview postings.	You can save postings.
Current month before the last day, with at least one component that requires currency translation	You can preview postings using the exchange rates of the last completed month for the period that has not ended. The translated amounts are provisional.	You cannot save postings for this selection, whether or not you preview it first. After the preview, the Save postings button is disabled. The restriction also applies to a selection containing both components that require currency translation and components that do not.
Future month	You can preview postings. If currency translation is required, the preview uses the exchange rates of the last completed month for the future periods.	You cannot save postings, regardless of whether currency translation is required.

On the last day of the current month, Lucanet Lease Accounting treats the month as completed. Saving then requires the applicable exchange rates.

For example, on October 14, you can preview October postings that require currency translation with September's exchange rates. You can review the provisional amounts, but you cannot save the October selection until the month is completed and the required rates are available.

If a message is displayed that the selected period is available for preview only, review the postings and select a completed month when you need to save them. A preview or preview export does not replace the saved postings or their posting export.

If the component currency differs from the functional currency of the reporting entity, Lease Accounting translates the amounts into the functional currency:

The amounts pertaining to the

right-of-use asset

are translated when the components are

calculated

and are therefore already displayed in the functional currency in the preview.

The

lease liability

and all related values are translated when the postings are saved. Lease Accounting uses the applicable exchange rate for each value: the average rate of the posting period for repayments and interest, and the closing rate of the posting period for the lease liability.

The difference arising from retranslating the lease liability at the closing rate is posted separately with the posting type Currency Translation Difference - Lease Liability and recognized in profit or loss. It is calculated individually for the short-term, mid-term, and long-term portions of the lease liability. In the preview table, these posting lines display only the Amount in functional currency; the Amount in contract currency and Exchange rate columns remain empty.

If an exchange rate is missing for the posting period, the affected postings are not saved, and a message refers you to the Exchange rate management functional area under Administration, where you can check your currency combinations and rates.

You can reverse saved postings in Lucanet Lease Accounting. For more information, see Reversing Postings.
