The calculation process in Lucanet Lease Accounting assesses the contract components and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 and calculates the values accordingly.

You can generate a preview of the contract component assessment to check that all the information and calculations are correct.

Once this is done, you can start the final calculation of the contract components. During calculation, the calculated values for the contract components are saved for future postings.

Before saving the assessed and calculated values for the contract components and liabilities in Lease Accounting, you can preview the calculated data for every contract component that has already been categorized.

To generate a preview in Lease Accounting, proceed as follows for each individual component:

1

Open the Preview workspace:

Highlighted in red are the 'Preview' item in the 'Calculation' navigation folder and the selection fields and buttons at the top of the workspace.
