# Creating Postings

## Overview

When you have [assessed and calculated](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/lease-accounting/measurement.md) the components, you can **create** the **postings** for these components. The postings are automatically saved in the Lease Accounting database.

Before you create the postings, you have the option of **displaying the components to be posted** and checking them again.

{% info-box %}
Users with a standalone license for Lucanet Lease Accounting can [export](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/lease-accounting/export-data.md) the postings and import them into other systems, while users with a Consolidation & Financial Planning license can [import](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/lease-accounting/importing-postings-cfp.md) the postings directly into Consolidation & Financial Planning using a script.
{% /info-box %}

## Displaying Components to be Posted

Before you actually create the postings for the [previously calculated](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/lease-accounting/measurement.md) components, you can display all the **components to be posted** that have not yet been created by a selected date.

To do this, open the **Components to be posted** workspace and select the **Accounting period** up to which you want to display the components that have not yet been posted. The components are then displayed in a table:

'Components to be posted' workspace

{% idea-box %}
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.
{% /idea-box %}

## Creating Postings

To create the final postings for the calculated components and save them in the Lease Accounting database:

{% stepper %}
{% stepper-step %}
Navigate to **Postings | Create postings.**

'Create postings' workspace
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
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 create the postings.

{% info-box %}
- If you use an integration between Lease Accounting and Consolidation & Financial Planning, you can [import](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/lease-accounting/importing-postings-cfp.md) the created postings for multiple reporting entities simultaneously using a script.

- Exporting postings for use in other systems is currently only possible per reporting entity.
{% /info-box %}
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
Under **Create postings up to**, select the posting period up to which you would like to create postings.
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
Click **Create**. The postings are saved automatically in the Lease Accounting database.
{% /stepper-step %}
{% /stepper %}

{% idea-box %}
Created postings can be removed from the database after saving by reversing them. For additional information, see [Reversing Postings](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/lease-accounting/reverse-postings.md).
