# What's New in Lucanet Lease Accounting

Come and explore the exciting new features of our solution **Lease Accounting**! We update our CFO Solution Platform on a regular basis to offer you the latest features and improvements.

> **Note:** The versions of all solutions that you are currently using and those of the CFO Solution Platform are displayed when you select **About Lucanet** from the **Help** section in the CFO Solution Platform.

## Recently Released Features

### New in Version 260930 – Update (Release date 2026-10-06)

#### Uploading Your Own Transaction Plan

The new **Upload transaction plan** tab in the **General configurations** workspace of Lucanet Lease Accounting lets you upload your own transaction plan as an XLSX or XLS file. The transaction plan applies to all postings saved from then on. Reversal postings follow the transaction plan of the original posting. The **Upload history** lists all previously active transaction plans for download, including the Lucanet default plan.

Lease Accounting displays a warning if the transaction plan does not cover an asset class type: when you upload the transaction plan, when you create or edit an asset class, and when you preview postings in the **Preview & save postings** workspace.

![Displays the 'Upload transaction plan' tab of the 'General configurations' workspace in Lucanet Lease Accounting with the drop zone for XLSX and XLS files, the 'Save changes' button, and the 'Upload history' table with the 'File name', 'Uploaded by', 'Effective from', and 'Status' columns.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/transaction-plan-upload-whatsnew.png)

> **Note:** Only users with the **Full access administrator** or **Settings administrator** role can see and use the **Upload transaction plan** tab.

#### Viewing the Transaction Plan in Use

The new **View transaction plan** tab in the **General configurations** workspace of Lucanet Lease Accounting displays the posting rules of the transaction plan currently in use. For each transaction, the table displays the debit account and the credit account with account number, account name, transaction type, and account type, as well as the posting type and the asset class type. You can filter every column to find specific accounts or transaction types.

### New in Version 260930 (Release date 2026-09-30)

Apart from bug fixes and usability enhancements, the release contains the following new features:

#### Access to Reporting Entities Based on User Permissions

Lucanet Lease Accounting now applies user permissions at reporting entity level. If required, a user can access and perform their role-based tasks only for the reporting entities assigned to them. You assign reporting entities to a user in the **Administration** section of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform by editing the respective user. A newly created user has access to all reporting entities. You can change the assignment when editing the user.

For details, see [Creating and Editing Users for the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/administration/user-management/users.md) and [User Roles in Lease Accounting](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/user-roles-la.md#assigning-user-roles).

#### Exporting Postings When Integrated with Consolidation & Financial Planning

If you use Lucanet Lease Accounting integrated with Consolidation & Financial Planning, the **Export postings** workspace under **Export** is now available in addition to the import of postings from Consolidation & Financial Planning. The import remains unchanged. The export creates one file per selected reporting entity, so that the file name contains the reporting entity. You find the created files in the **Created files** workspace.

For details, see [Exporting Reports and Postings](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/export-data.md#exporting-postings).

#### Business Units as an Additional Master Data Dimension

In addition to cost centers, profit centers, and accounting areas, you can now assign a business unit to a contract component. Under **Settings**, the new **Business units** workspace is available next to **Accounting areas**. You can create a business unit for a specific reporting entity or for all reporting entities. The **General information** tab of the component form offers the new **Business unit** drop-down list. The list contains the business units created for all reporting entities and the business units created for the reporting entity of the component.

> **Note:** The **Business units** workspace requires the **Full access administrator** or **Settings administrator** role.

When you modify a calculated component, the **Modify master data dimension** option under **General information** now also offers **Change business unit**. In the **Change business unit** dialog, you select the **New business unit** and the **Effective date (first month)**. Like the other master data dimension modifications, the change is statistical only: postings from the effective date use the new business unit, historical postings remain unchanged, and the change does not affect any calculation.

![Displays the Change business unit dialog with the effective date, the current business unit, and the drop-down list for the new business unit.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/change-business-unit-whatsnew.png)
The 'Change business unit' dialog

The **Account balance** report offers the new options **Aggregate by accounting area** and **Aggregate by business unit**. When you activate one of the options, the report displays the account balances separately for each accounting area or business unit.

For details, see [Creating and Configuring Contract Components](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/data-collection/create-configure-contract-components.md#general-information) and [Exporting Reports and Postings](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/lease-accounting/export-data.md#creating-reports).

### New in Version 2608xx (Release date 2026-09-02)

Apart from bug fixes and usability enhancements, the release contains the following new features:

#### New Master Data Dimensions: Profit Centers and Accounting Areas

Under **Settings**, the new **Profit centers** and **Accounting areas** workspaces are available next to **Cost centers**. You can create a profit center or an accounting area for a specific reporting entity or for all reporting entities; a profit center can additionally be related to a cost center.

In the **General information** tab of the component form, you then assign a profit center and an accounting area to a contract component.

Profit centers are also available if you use Lucanet Lease Accounting integrated with Consolidation & Financial Planning, but are not transferred there because this dimension does not exist in Consolidation & Financial Planning.

![Displays the Profit centers section under Settings with the list of existing profit centers and the Add profit center button.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/profit-centers-whatsnew.png)
The 'Profit centers' section

> **Note:** The **Profit centers** and **Accounting areas** workspaces require the **Full access administrator** or **Settings administrator** role.

#### Changing Master Data Dimensions of Calculated Components

When modifying a calculated contract component, the **General information** section now groups the master data dimensions under **Modify master data dimension** with the options **Change cost center**, **Change profit center**, and **Change accounting area**. You can select the new value and an **Effective date**.

The change creates a new component event: postings from the effective date use the new value, and historical postings remain unchanged. Like the existing cost center modification, the profit center and accounting area modifications are statistical only — they do not affect any calculation, such as the interest rate, the right-of-use asset, or the lease liability.

![Displays the Change profit center dialog with the current profit center, the new profit center drop-down list, and the effective date.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/change-profit-center-whatsnew.png)
The 'Change profit center' dialog

#### Account Balance Report Aggregated by Profit Center

The **Account balance** report offers the new **Aggregate by profit center** option. When you activate the option, the report displays the account balances separately for each profit center.

#### Currency Translation of the Lease Liability When Saving Postings

If the component currency differs from the functional currency of the reporting entity, Lucanet Lease Accounting now translates the lease liability and all related values, such as repayments and interest, into the functional currency when you save postings.

The difference arising from retranslating the lease liability at the closing rate as of the reporting date is posted separately as a currency difference and recognized in profit or loss. It is calculated individually for the short-term, mid-term, and long-term portions of the lease liability and is identifiable by its own posting type.

If no exchange rate is available for the posting period, the postings are not saved and a message refers you to the [Exchange rate management](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/administration/exchange-rate-management.md) functional area under **Administration**.

#### Previewing Postings Before Saving Them

In the **Preview & save postings** workspace, you can now display the pending postings before you save them. You can select one or more reporting entities in the **Reporting entities** drop-down list, specify the period under **Save postings up to**, and click **Preview postings**. The number of **Posting lines** and **Contracts** in the preview is displayed next to the buttons.

The table lists every posting that has not yet been saved for the selection — including depreciation, interest, lease payments, and currency translation differences.

![Displays the Preview & save postings workspace with the Reporting entities drop-down list, the Save postings up to field, the Preview postings and Save postings buttons, and the preview table with pending postings.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/preview-postings-whatsnew.png)
The 'Preview & save postings' workspace

The preview does not change any data. Click **Save postings** to save the postings after confirming the period and reporting entities in the dialog.

![Displays the confirmation dialog for saving postings with the selected period and the number of selected reporting entities.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/save-postings-dialog.png)

#### Additional Asset Class Types

When you create or edit an asset class, the **Asset class type** drop-down list now additionally offers **Additional asset class type 1** to **Additional asset class type 20**. Use these types to classify asset classes for which no standard type exists.

Like the standard types, the additional types are labels only; depreciation and all other measurement settings remain configured on the asset class.

![Displays the Asset class type drop-down list with the additional asset class types.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/additional-asset-class-types-whatsnew.png)
The 'Asset class type' drop-down list

#### Vehicle and Property Details for Contract Components

The component form now displays a **Car fleet** tab for components with a fleet-related asset class and a **Real estate** tab for components with a real-estate-related asset class. Record details such as license plate, mileage, brand, and model for vehicles, or object number, address, area sizes, and reference value for properties.

All fields are optional. Lucanet Lease Accounting saves the details with the component and copies them when you copy the component.

![Displays the Car fleet tab in the component form with the vehicle-specific fields.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/car-fleet-tab-whatsnew.png)
The 'Car fleet' tab

#### Transferring Contract Components to Another Lessee

The new **Change of lessee** workspace lets you transfer active, calculated contract components from one reporting entity to another as of a transfer date. Download the template, enter one transfer per row, and upload the completed XLSX file.

Lucanet Lease Accounting terminates the source component on the transfer date and creates a new component in the target reporting entity with the opposite effect, so that the transfer nets to zero at group level.

Rows that fail validation are listed with the reason and do not change any data.

![Displays the Change of lessee workspace with the template download and the file upload area.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/change-of-lessee-whatsnew.png)
The 'Change of lessee' workspace

#### Migration Result Tab in the 'Migration' Workspace

In the **Migration** workspace, the new **Migration result** tab summarizes how many components were migrated successfully and lists the components that were not migrated, grouped by reporting entity and with the reason for each component.

The tab displays the same findings as the **Migration report**, so you can assess the result without opening the Excel file.

![Displays the Migration result tab with the summary of migrated components and the list of failed components grouped by reporting entity.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/migration-result-tab-whatsnew.png)
The 'Migration result' tab

### New in Version 2606xx (Release date 2026-07-03)

Apart from bug fixes and usability enhancements, the release contains the following new features:

#### Exporting Postings for Multiple Reporting Entities

If you use a standalone license for Lucanet Lease Accounting, you can now export postings for more than one reporting entity in a single export. In the **Reporting entities** drop-down list, select one, several, or all reporting entities. Under **File preferences**, choose whether to generate **One file for all reporting entities** or **Individual files per each reporting entity**.

![Displays the Export postings workspace with the Reporting entities drop-down list, the Export date field, and the File preferences options.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/export-postings-multiple-entities.png)
The 'Export postings' workspace

#### Account Balance Report Now Available for Multiple Reporting Entities

You can now create the **Account balance** report for more than one reporting entity at a time. Multiple reporting-entity selection is now available for all report types except **Asset register**, which is planned for a future release.

#### New 'Change Asset Class' Modification

When modifying a calculated contract component, the **Underlying asset** section now offers a **Change asset class** modification — for example, to correct a wrongly selected asset class. You can modify the **Current asset class** by selecting a **New asset class** and an **Effective date** to re-classify the component. The change is statistical only: it updates the asset class for classification, grouping, and reporting, and does not trigger a recalculation or affect the interest rate or depreciation.

![Displays the Change asset class dialog with the effective date, the read-only current asset class, and the new asset class selector.](https://support.lucanet.com/assets/docs-images/whats-new/whats-new-lease-accounting/_images/en/change-asset-class-whatsnew.png)
