Payment Reschedule [U0104]

Contents

 

Introduction

The Payment Reschedule update allows mid-term changes to financial information (e.g., payment schedule, security deposit) of precomputed interest type leases, operating leases, and interest bearing loans. For precomputed leases and interest bearing loans of P&I (principal and interest) type, the yield to maturity is automatically recalculated based on the changes made in this update.

Payment Reschedule cannot be applied to a non-accrual lease.

There are four methods of mid-term changes:

When making individual adjustments, the following financial information may be changed:

When adjusting multiple leases, only the remaining payment schedule may be adjusted. Using the float index assigned to the lease and the current floating rates (as stored through the Base Rates update [U0705]), an additional charge is computed and added to each payment remaining. This option may be used if the lease agreement has a built-in payment adjustment (e.g., based upon the Consumer Price Index).

If a payment reschedule is to adjust payments already accrued, use the Accrual Reversal option of the Cycle Accruals update [U0301] to reverse accruals, before making the adjustment through the Payment Reschedule update [U0104]. In this case, only the RSC adjustment method may be used.

If a payment reschedule involves a lease on which a principal paydown was made, the paydown amount must be considered in determining new payment amounts.

If the lease accrual method is of a precomputed type, and the Payment Reschedule update is used to reduce (write down) the Residual of the lease, a special calculation will be used to recognize a portion of the write down as a loss while maintaining the yield (APR) over the remaining term of the lease.

The method used for residual write down affects the same G/L accounts for all the finance lease precomputed accrual methods. The G/L transaction will be:

 

General Ledger Account

Amount

DR Loss on Sale

Present Value of the Residual Write Down

CR Unguaranteed residual

  

DR Unearned Income

Balance of Residual Write Down

CR Unguaranteed residual

 

The PV (present value) of the residual write down is also the change in accrued principal. The balance of the residual write down will be the remaining difference between the amount of the residual to the write down less the present value of the residual.

For example, if a lease has a 12% yield for 12 months and a $20,000 residual being written down to $15,000, with 9 months remaining on the lease, the PV of the residual is (using an HP12c with the PV calculation):

5,000 FV <== Future Value
12 g i <== Enter Interest Rate (Yield) @ 1.0% per month (12% per annum)
9 n <== (Remaining) Term
PV <== Present Value
4571.70 <== Result
5,000 - 4,571.70= 428.30

The journal entry for this write down would be:

 

General Ledger Account

Amount

DR Loss on Sale

$4571.70

CR Unguaranteed residual

  

DR Unearned Income

$428.30

CR Unguaranteed residual

The accrued principal will also be reduced by the PV, or $4571.70. The yield will remain the same. For non-monthly leases, the write-down can only be processed on an accrual month.

There will be a difference in the yield after the residual write-down, but in most cases it will be less than a basis point (one hundredth of a percent .0001). However, if the lease accrual method is not AAPR or RAPR, then a residual write down will result in a change to the yield that exceeds the expected “.0001%” (+ or -). Other precomputed methods such as Rule of 78 and Straight line do not earn income using level yield (APR) method. Therefore, the yield shown for these other precomputed accrual methods is informational only and is not used to calculate the monthly income amounts.

When the Cash Control module is purchased and a Payment Reschedule is made to the lease, LeasePak will automatically assign a trace reference information when a security deposit is received from the Payment Origination code. The trace reference will appear in the Cash Control Payment History [R0926] report.

When a Suspense item has been tied to the lease that is being rescheduled, LeasePak will automatically default the trace reference information to the Suspense Review [R0203] report.

 

Payment Reschedule Selection

This screen is used to specify lease(s) to be rescheduled.

A specific lease number must be entered for adjustments to an individual lease.

A float rate adjustment may be made to all leases, a selection of leases (such as all leases for portfolio 1), or an individual lease. Before using the float rate adjustment, a float index must be assigned to each lease through the Book Lease option of the New Lease update [U0101] or through the Master Financial update [U0202], and float indices must be established through the Base Rates update [U0705].

If the Notes Payable module is purchased and if an active note is attached to the lease, a warning message will be displayed.

Field Descriptions

 

Adjustment Method, Processing Month

This screen is used to select the adjustment method and, if required, the processing month. PROCESSING MONTH is necessary only for the CPI ADJUSTMENT METHOD.

Field Descriptions

 

CPI - Verification

This screen is used to verify the CPI adjustment to be performed. The adjustment percentage displayed is the percentage for the first lease in the selection. If other leases in the selection have a different FLOAT INDEX the adjustment percentage used may be different than the one displayed here.

If the ADJUSTMENT METHOD is CPI, this is the last screen to be displayed. An audit report is generated detailing any leases whose payment reschedule for method CPI is not successful.

Field Descriptions

 

RSC - Financial, Asset

This screen appears only if the ADJUSTMENT METHOD is RSC. It is used to change relevant financial data for the asset and/or lease. The existing security deposit, book IDC, asset number(s), asset cost(s), and asset residual value(s) for the lease are displayed.

The asset information is not displayed for operating leases.

Note: A paydown is not allowed for RES method extended leases on a cash or accrual basis as these types of leases do not have contract receivable.

 

RSC - Payment Schedule

This screen appears only if the ADJUSTMENT METHOD is RSC. It is used to change payment schedule data for the remaining life of a lease.

Asset information is not displayed for operating leases.

Field Descriptions

 

RSC - Verification

This screen is used to verify the intended modifications to payment schedule and appears only if the ADJUSTMENT METHOD is RSC. Asset information is not displayed for operating leases

Auto Lease Extension: If the lease term is modified, i.e., the lease maturity date is changed, the automatic lease extension record’s extension start date will be adjusted accordingly. If the lease is changed to month-to-month, the auto lease extension record will be removed. If there is an error removing the auto lease extension record, LeasePak will provide a warning message: MTM lease. Use [U0108] to delete auto lease extension record.
If the lease maturity date is changed, and the auto lease extension record contains Recurring Charge information, LeasePak will provide a warning message: Warning: Use [U0108] to change auto lease extension RCR dates.

 

DEF - Financial, Asset

This screen appears when the DEF adjustment method is selected for the Payment Reschedule. When a DEF is made, LeasePak will perform edit checks based on the Ext/Def eligibility criteria set in the Miscellaneous Customizations of the Portfolio [U0212] update.


Field Description

 

DEF - Payment Schedule

This screen displays the remaining term and the new payment schedule including the SKIP payments for the lease.

 

CPI - Payment Reschedule Exception Report


The Payment Reschedule Exception report [U0104A] provides the following information for each lease whose attempted CPI method payment reschedule was unsuccessful.

 

RSC - Payment Reschedule Audit Report


The Payment Reschedule Audit report [U0104B] provides the following information for each lease whose payment schedule is changed using the RSC ADJUSTMENT METHOD.

For detailed information on the data shown on the report, refer to their field descriptions on the previous Payment Reschedule update screens.
