Introduction

Fields for adding or modifying an application (pending) asset are arranged into 8 tabs. Depending on whether the type of asset is equipment or vehicle, either Tab 3 or Tab 4 may be used, but not both. Data may be entered on tab 3 if the asset fits into the broad category "equipment" as entered in the CLASS field of tab 1, or tab 4 if the asset CLASS is defined as "vehicle".

The minimum data required to save a new asset record is entered on 4 tabs, numbers 1 (General), 2 (Additional), 5 (Miscellaneous) and 6 (Depreciation/Title Filing).

 

Tab 1

Required fields on Tab 1 are:

• description
• city, county, state
• acquisition cost
  
  
• DESCRIPTION
  Enter a description of the asset. This field is required. For vehicles, if DESCRIPTION is left blank and CLASS, MANUFACTURER and MODEL are entered, that information defaults to the DESCRIPTION field.

• ADDRESS
  Enter the street address of the asset’s location.

• CITY
  Enter the city in which the asset is located. The asset’s city, county, and state location determines the use tax rate in effect. This field is required.

• COUNTY
  Enter the county in which the asset is located. The asset’s city, county, and state location determines the use tax rate in effect. This field is required.

• STATE
  Enter the state in which the asset is located. This field is required.

  Note: For locations where states do not exist, a "free form" code of FF may be entered. When addresses using FF are printed on invoices or reports, the state is blank.

• ZIP
  Enter the zip or postal code
  
  
  • For U.S. use 5 or 9 digits
  • For Canada use 6 characters (alternating letters and numbers)
  • For Mexico use 5 digits
  • For other locations any entry is accepted, or field may be blank
    
    
• CLASS
  Use Help for a list of all valid Class codes and select the one which most closely fits the asset. Class codes fall into 2 categories: equipment and vehicles. Equipment classes are listed first. Heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks are included in the equipment class. Midway through the list of valid codes the class "vehicle" appears, and all the codes after it fall into vehicle classes. If an equipment Class code is selected, tab 3 is available for data entry and tab 4 is inaccessible. If a vehicle Class code is selected, tab 4 is available and tab 3 inaccessible.

• MANUFACTURER
  Enter the manufacturer code for the asset. Use Help for a list of valid manufacturers. Manufacturer and model codes are not entered for assets classified as equipment, only for vehicles. Use the Asset Description update [U0710] to add, change, and/or delete manufacturers from the list.

• MODEL
  Enter the model code for the asset. Use Help for a list of valid models for the MANUFACTURER entered. Use the Asset Description update [U0710] to add, change, and/or delete models for the manufacturer entered.
  
  
• YEAR
  Enter the model year of the asset. Do not enter the century portion of the year. For example, enter 96 for a 1996 model year.
  
  
• ACQUISITION COST
  Enter the original acquisition cost of the pending asset. This field is required. This amount is established as the accounts payable for the asset. If assets are to be associated with an application having a trade-in, the total acquisition cost of all the assets should be net of the trade-in value.

  Note: If the Multiple Banks module is purchased and the asset is an insurance asset, LeasePak will use the Acquisition Cost to hold the insurance premium.

• RESIDUAL AMT
  Enter the residual amount (total estimated market value of the asset at the end of the lease). This field is defaulted if RESIDUAL % was coded on Application Tab 4. The default value is determined using the following formula

  ACQUIS COST
  * (RESIDUAL % / 100)

  Note: LeasePak allows operating type assets to be booked with a RESIDUAL that exceeds the ACQUISTION COST

  This value will be adjusted if Acquisition Cost is changed.

• PAYMENT AMOUNT
  Enter the asset’s monthly rental payment amount. This is the payment amount LeasePak will use when calculating the asset yield.

  Note: LeasePak allows the user to change the asset payment amount in Rebook [U0116] and the percent of schedule used in the tax calculations, after the lease has been booked when the Asset Percentage Calc Method (A/P) field is set to P in the Miscellaneous Customization option of the Custom General update [U0712].

• ORIGINAL ASSET COST
  Enter the original asset cost. This amount is used for the calculation of gross profit. Gross Profit calculations are performed only if a value is entered here.

• OTHER CHARGES
  Enter any other charges associated with this asset. OTHER CHARGES are not included in accounts payable for the asset. These charges are also excluded from the tax basis of the asset; i.e., OTHER CHARGES are not depreciated nor included in ITC calculations. For assets booked to operating leases, OTHER CHARGES are not carried on the General Ledger.
  
  
• REPAIR COST
  Enter the repair cost of the asset. This value is informational only and is not used in any calculations.
  
  
• GST PAYABLE
  Enter the Goods and Services Tax. This field is for Canadian users only.

• INSURANCE PREMIUM
  Enter the amount of insurance premium, if any, to be paid to the broker for this asset.

Location Search

Once records have been retrieved, clicking on Select will choose the highlighted location.

 

Tab 2

Three fields on tab 2 are required to save an asset:

• identification
• acquisition date
• in-service date

The dates may be in the future, i.e., estimates of when the pending asset will be booked.

If the User Defined Fields/Tables module was purchased, and if fields or tables were defined at the asset level to collect customized, user defined information, this tab offers access to screens where that information may be entered. Customized fields and tables are defined on the User Defined Fields/Tables option of the Portfolio update [U0212].

The IN-SERVICE DATE is the starting date for all depreciation except book depreciation and manufacturer’s depreciation. It need not correspond to the asset acquisition date, lease date nor the lease commencement date. This field is required. It may be a future, estimated date.

  Note: When a new or cloned asset is being booked and the in-service date crosses a previous tax year boundary, LeasePak will display a warning message to notify the user, this message is informational only: "Warning-Asset In-Service date is prior to a previous tax year. Continue Y/N?’

  When Y is selected, the user may continue to add the asset. When N is selected, LeasePak will cancel the add asset update and return to the first screen.

• INS EXPIR DATE
  Enter the insurance expiration date for the insurance asset.

  Note: LeasePak will perform various edit checks to verify that all Pre-Paid Insurance switches are set correctly in Portfolio [U0212] and Vendor [U0201] updates.

• SUPPLIER
  Use Help to perform a Client Search for the Vendor number of the supplier of the asset. If the vendor does not yet exist on LeasePak, it may be added through the Vendor update [U0201]. If complete information on the supplier is not yet available, this field may be left blank and whatever partial name and address is known may be recorded in the following fields.

• NAME
  Enter the name of the supplier. If a valid supplier number was entered, supplier’s name is defaulted and may not be changed.

  Click to X the box if the asset is to appear on the above reports. Only booked assets will appear on reports.

  Note: If the box is checked and a true lease TAX TYPE code is entered, the asset appears on the Tax Timing Differences report [R0311] regardless of whether the Lease Type Code is set to CSA or INSL when the asset is booked on a lease.

• TAX TYPE
  Use Help to select the TAX TYPE code. This code indicates a type of tax reporting for the asset. If the TAX RPTG switch is not checked, this field is informational only.

• STATUS AT BOOK
  The status code for the asset is defaulted to AINV (available - inventory) and may be changed. Use Help for a list of valid status codes. Asset status codes are established through the Custom Codes update [U0722]. If the STATUS CODE of an asset is changed to a value beginning with N, a warning message is displayed that this asset may not be booked onto a lease.

  Note that the status code defined for a pending asset indicates the status of the asset when eventually booked, not the status of the pending asset.

  This code appears on the Off Lease Inventory report [R1001] as USER DEF STATUS.

• USE TAX CODE
  USE TAX CODE indicates which taxing entities are in effect for the asset, based on the asset’s city and state location. The following is a list of the valid Use Tax Codes:

  State, County, and City
  The asset is subject to tax in all 3 taxing jurisdictions regardless of whether or not there is a tax rate present at the current time.

  City

  County and City

  County

  State

  State and City

  State and County
  If an asset is exempt from use/sales tax from one or more taxing entities (state, county, or city), then change the code to indicate the specific taxing entities to be in effect.

  Exempt Use and Sale
  The lessee is legally exempt from paying any use/sales tax. The system denies access to the use/sales tax assessment function everywhere in the system.

  Exempt and Non-Reporting
  The lessee is legally exempt from paying any use/sales tax. The system denies access to the use/sales tax assessment function everywhere in the system. Tax release information will be reported on the Use Tax Disbursal Non-Reportable Reports.

  Tax paid Up Front
  The lessee has paid sales tax on the equipment cost on the commencement date of the lease. Use/sales tax can be assessed during the term of the lease on applicable other assessments only. Use/ sales tax is never charged on the rental payment or the payoff.

  Exempt Use Tax Only
  The lessee has paid sales tax on the equipment cost on the commencement date of the lease. Use/sales tax can be assessed during the term of the lease on applicable other assessments and on the payoff. Use/sales tax is never charged on rental payment.

  Permanent
  The asset is subject to the tax rates in effect on the commencement date of the lease. The rates are for the term of the lease regardless of any rate changes for the location that may occur during the lease term.

  However, if a new lease is back dated (i.e., a past commencement date is assigned) and a rate change occurred between the commencement date and the date of booking, taxes charged will reflect that change as of its effective date.

• STOCK NUMBR
  Enter the stock number of the asset. This number is informational only.

• ASSOC ASSET
  Enter the number of the main asset associated with this asset. This may be used to establish a link between one asset and another. If CALCULATE ASSET YIELD is set to Y, as defined through the New Lease option of the Portfolio update [U0212], the payment amount of the main asset only (not the associated asset) is used in the cash flow when calculating the asset yield.

• ITC CODE
  Use Help and select from the list of valid codes.

  Bypass indicates that ITC is not taken for this asset. ITC must be bypassed if the federal depreciable life is less than 3 years. If the asset was placed in service after January 1, 1986, but a firm commitment for the lease was established prior to September 30, 1985, ITC may be taken. The bypass depreciation methods must be used if the asset is tied to an Interest Bearing Loan. This code should be used to indicate that ITC is bypassed by both the lessor and the lessee.

  Pass to Lessee indicates that ITC is passed through from the lessor to the lessee. The asset must be new in order to pass ITC.

  Full ITC available is taken in the current year. LeasePak automatically takes 6% if the federal depreciable life is 3 years, or 10% if the federal depreciable life is greater than 3 years.

  Full ITC 2%/Year indicates the full amount of ITC available is taken at 2 percent per year for tax purposes. LeasePak shows the amount of ITC to claim as 2% each year for 3 years if the federal depreciable life is 3 years, or 2% each year for 5 years if the federal depreciable life is greater than 3 years.

  Reduced ITC indicates LeasePak automatically takes 4% if the federal depreciable life is 3 years or 8% if the federal depreciable life is greater than 3 years. A reduced amount of ITC may be taken only if the federal depreciation method is ACRS.

  Reduced ITC 2%/Year indicates a reduced amount of ITC is taken over 3 or 5 years for tax purposes. LeasePak shows the amount of ITC to claim as one-third of 4% of the asset cost for each of 3 years if the federal depreciable life is 3 years, or one-fifth of 8% of the asset cost for each of 5 years if the federal depreciable life is greater than 3 years. A reduced amount of ITC may be taken only if the federal depreciation method is ACRS.

  At booking time a warning message is displayed if an ITC method of other than bypass is entered for an asset with an IN-SERVICE DATE after January 1, 1986.

• ITC METHOD
  Use Help to select the Investment Tax Credit accrual method for book purposes. Valid ITC accrual methods are:

  Straight-line method: ITC income is accrued over the federal depreciable life of the asset using the straight-line method.

  Rule of 12/78ths method: the amount of ITC is accrued using the following formula:

  ITC EARNED =
  CURRENT UNEARNED ITC INCOME
  * NO. OF REMAINING MONTHS
  / SUM OF THE DIGITS OF REMAINING LIFE

  Proportional method: ITC income is accrued proportionally to the rate at which lessor income is earned on the lease. This method applies only to assets that are on-lease. If Proportional is entered for an off- lease asset, ITC will be earned using the straight-line method until the asset goes on-lease. Similarly, an on-lease asset using the proportional method will revert to the straight line method when it comes off-lease.

 

Tab 5: Asset Search

For field ASSOC ASSET, clicking on the help button accesses the Asset Search function.

The initial Asset Search screen allows entry of Search Criteria. Clicking Retrieve without entering criteria will generate a list of all booked assets in LeasePak. Narrow the search by entering one or more criteria. For example, enter a lessee’s address or city to focus the search to assets for a particular lessee.

• ASSET ID
  An identification is entered for each existing asset in LeasePak. Often it is the asset’s serial number. It does not have to be unique; more than one asset may have the same ID. If the ID code is known, but the asset number is not, enter the ID as search criterion.

  Additionally, if the asset is cloned from an existing asset, the asset ID of the insurance asset will default as the cloned asset id and an ‘I’ will be placed in front of it.

• P.O. NUMBER
  If the asset’s purchase order number is known, but the asset number is not, enter the P.O. number as search criterion.

• LEASE
  If the asset is on lease and the lease number is know, but the asset number is not, enter the lease number as search criterion. All assets for that lease will appear on the Asset List.

• ADDRESS
  When an asset is added, its location is entered. Asset Search looks at addresses entered at the asset level to record asset locations. It does not search lessee, vendor, or other addresses.

• CITY / STATE / ZIP
  Enter a city, state or ZIP code to narrow the search to assets at that location.

 

Once any desired Search Criteria have been entered, click Retrieve.

LeasePak searches all booked assets and displays information about those which match the criteria on the Asset List portion of the screen. To use one of the assets listed as the ASSOC ASSET, highlight it and click Select. The selected asset number appears in the ASSOC ASSET field.

 

Tab 6

Tab 6 contains many key accounting parameters for the asset. Fields required to store an asset record are:

• Federal Depreciation
• State Depreciation
• Alt Min Tax Depreciation
• Book Accounting
• Book Depreciation
• at least one line of Title Filings

• FEDERAL DEPRECIATION
  Federal depreciation codes are established by the LeasePak system. Use Help and select the appropriate code. The third and fourth characters in the code indicate the asset’s depreciable life in years for federal deprecation.

  ACRS depreciation may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE prior to January 1, 1981.

  ACRS Safe Harbor depreciation may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE after December 31, 1983.

  MACRS 1/2 Year Convention and MACRS Mid Quarter Convention depreciation methods may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE before August 1, 1986.

  ADR depreciation may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE after December 31, 1980.

  If federal depreciation is not to be calculated for the asset and Investment Tax Credit is to be claimed, the bypass depreciation methods must be used. The bypass depreciation methods must be used if the asset is tied to an Interest Bearing Loan DVA1 and/or DVA2 depreciations are to be used when calculating the Diminishing Value of the asset.

• STATE DEPRECIATION
  Use Help and select the state depreciation method for the asset. State depreciation codes are established by the LeasePak system. The third and fourth characters in the method indicate the asset’s depreciable life for state depreciation.

  The guidelines for various federal depreciation methods above also apply to state depreciation (e.g., ACRS depreciation may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE prior to January 1, 1981).

• ALT MIN TAX DEPRECIATION
  Use Help and select the alternative minimum tax (AMT) depreciation method for the asset. Alternative minimum tax depreciation codes are established by the LeasePak system. The third and fourth characters in the method indicate the depreciable life of the asset for AMT depreciation.

  AMT depreciation may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE prior to August 1, 1986.

  The bypass depreciation methods must be used if the asset is tied to an Interest Bearing Loan.

• SALVAGE VALUE
  Assets depreciate down to the salvage value for state depreciation purposes. For federal and alternate minimum tax depreciation purposes, assets always depreciate to zero.

• MFRS DEPRECIATION BASIS
  Enter the starting value for the manufacturer’s depreciation of the asset.

• TAX DEPRECIATION BASIS
  This field will default the total Acquisition Cost of the asset as set in Tab 1. The user may change the tax depreciation basis prior to booking the lease. This field will be displayed when the 1996 Jule Fund module is purchased.
  
  
• PROPERTY TAX BASIS
  This field will default the total Acquisition Cost of the asset as set in Tab 1. The user may change the Property Tax Basis for tax purposes. Property Tax Basis may also be modified throughout the life of the lease by using PROP TAX BASIS field in the Asset [U0210] update. This field is informational only and is part of the Jule Fund 1996 module.
  
  
• BOOK ACCOUNTING
  Use Help to select one of the following:

  FINANCE: Enter this method if the asset is to be booked on a lease other than an operating lease. Monthly book depreciation is recorded at the asset level, but no General Ledger updating is performed.

  OPERATING: Monthly book depreciation is recorded at the asset level. In the General Ledger, the inventoried value of the asset is decreased and the depreciation expense is increased by the depreciation amount.

  Note: If the Multiple Banks module is purchased and the asset is an insurance asset, LeasePak will automatically default the accounting method to Finance.

• BOOK DEPRECIATION
  Use Help to select a book depreciation codes as established by the LeasePak system. The third and fourth characters in the code indicate the asset’s depreciable life in years for book depreciation.

  The guidelines for various federal depreciation methods discussed above also apply to book depreciation (e.g., ACRS depreciation may not be used for assets with an IN-SERVICE DATE prior to January 1, 1981). DVA1 and/or DVA2 depreciations are to be used when calculating the Diminishing Value of the asset.

Tab 7

Tab 7 is used to record upfront tax information. It is available for data entry only if the USE TAX CODE field on tab 5 is coded Tax Paid Up Front or Exempt Use Tax Only.

• SALES TAX - STATE
  Enter a valid abbreviation for the state in which the asset is located. Use Help for an alphabetic list of state abbreviations. Upfront sales tax will be payable to this state.
  
  
• SALES TAX - STATE TAX RATE
  Based on the STATE entered, this field is initially defaulted with the state use tax rate entered in the Location update [U0701]. Override the rate if necessary.

• SALES TAX - COUNTY
  Enter a valid abbreviation for the county in which the asset is located. Use Help for an alphabetic list of state abbreviations. Upfront sales tax will be payable to this state.

• SALES TAX - COUNTY RATE
  Based on the County entered, this field is initially defaulted with the county use tax rate entered in the Location update [U0701]. Override the rate if necessary.

• SALES TAX - CITY
  Enter a valid abbreviation for the county in which the asset is located. Use Help for an alphabetic list of state abbreviations. Upfront sales tax will be payable to this state.

• SALES TAX - CITY RATE
  Use Help (...) to perform a Location Search. On the Location Search screen, enter the state as search criteria and click Retrieve. A list displays of all counties in that state which have been entered in the Location update [U0701]. Within each county are listed all cities which have been entered in the Location update. Scroll through the list to find the county and city of the asset location. Click to highlight it, then click the Select button. County and city abbreviations and rates will default on this tab. Override rates if necessary. Refer to the Location update [U0701] for more information on city use tax rates.

• BASE TAX AMOUNT
  This is the purchase amount on which upfront sales tax is calculated. This field is initially defaulted with the acquisition cost if the DISBURSE UPFRONT SALES TAX switch on the Miscellaneous Customizations screen of the Portfolio update [U0212] is set to N. Otherwise Base Tax Amount is calculated using the formula:

  ACQUISITION COST
  / (1 + (STATE + COUNTY + CITY TAX RATES))

  It is permissible to change the Base Tax Amount, e.g., for penny rounding purposes. However, the sum of Base Tax Amount and Upfront Sales Tax should equal the acquisition cost.

• UPFRONT SALES TAX
  The calculated sales tax is displayed. This field is adjusted as tax rates or the acquisition cost are changed. The upfront sales tax is calculated using the formula:

  (BASE TAX AMOUNT * STATE RATE)
  + (BASE TAX AMOUNT * COUNTY RATE)
  + (BASE TAX AMOUNT * CITY RATE)

 

Tab 8

Tab 8 is available only for portfolios set up for Capital Cost Allowance (CCA). CCA is an optional LeasePak module requiring separate purchase. CCA is set up using the Portfolio Maintenance [U0212], Tax Entity [U0224], and CCA Class [U0703] updates. CCA is updated through functions in the Capital Cost Allowance menu [U15].

• CAPITAL COST
  Enter the initial amount that may be depreciated on the asset. This field is defaulted with the acquisition cost entered on screen 2. This value may differ from the acquisition cost of the asset in that adjustments, such as Investment Tax Credit, may be made. In some cases, tax laws dictate that the capital cost which may initially be depreciated must be the fair market value (e.g., for Specified Leasing properties) or within a specified maximum amount (e.g,. a $24,000 limit on the automobiles acquired on or after September 1, 1989).
  
  
• ITC AMOUNT
  Enter the Investment Tax Credit amount that may be claimed on the asset. This field is informational only.
  
  
• TAX ENTITY
  Enter the tax entity who will claim the CCA on the asset added. Use HELP for a list of valid tax entities. Tax entities are established through the Tax Entity update [U0224]. Initially, the default tax entity defined for the office, region, company, and portfolio associated with the asset is displayed for verification and modification. The default defined for the lower level takes precedence. For example, if a default tax entity is entered for the office and another for the company, the office default is displayed. However, if the information for the asset being added is from a default asset, the tax entity from the default asset is displayed.

  A default portfolio must have been defined for the TAX ENTITY entered through the Tax Entity update [U0224].

• CLASS
  Enter the CCA class for the asset. Use HELP for a list of valid CCA classes. CCA classes are established through the CCA Class update [U0703]. After a valid CCA class is entered, the asset type, accrual method, and the disposition method defined for the class are displayed.
  
  
• TYPE
  Enter the asset type. These types are established by LeasePak. Valid types are:
  
  
  • L Specified Leasing property
  • O Individual asset which is not a specified leasing property but is placed in a separate class
  • P Pooled asset

  Initially, this field is defaulted with the asset type defined for the class through the CCA Class update [U0703].

• ACCRUAL METHOD
  Enter the accrual method. Use HELP for a list of valid methods established by LeasePak. Valid methods are:
  • DBL Declining balance
  • DBLH Declining balance with half-year convention
  • SL02 Straight line 2 years
  • SH02 Straight line 2 years with half-year convention
  • BYPS Bypass CCA calculation
    
    

  Refer to the Tax Considerations document of the Reference Guide for more information. Initially, this field is defaulted with the accrual method defined for the class through the CCA Class update [U0703]. For an asset placed in a pool, the accrual method must be either the method defined for its pool or BYPS.

• DISPOSITION
  Enter the disposition method. Use HELP for a list of valid disposition methods. These methods are established by LeasePak. Valid methods are:
  
  
  • GEN General method
  • NONE No terminal loss or recapture is allowed
    
    

  Initially, this field is defaulted with the rate defined for the class through the CCA Class update [U0703].

  Note that if the ACCRUAL METHOD is BYPS, the disposition method NONE is displayed and cannot be changed.

  This field is not accessible if the asset is placed in a pool, i.e., TYPE = P.

• ADD-ON RATE
  Enter a rate to be added to the base rate defined in the CCA Class update [U0703] in calculating capital cost allowance for the asset. For example, if the add-on rate is 6%, then enter _6.00000, not ___.06000.

  This field is accessible only if the asset is on one of the Declining Balance calculation methods. In addition, it is inaccessible if the asset is placed in a pool.

  If an add-on rate is not defined and if the CCA accrual method for the asset is one of the declining balance methods, then a warning message is displayed if the base rate is not available on the in-service date of the asset.
