Name, Portfolio Interest Type, Invoice Codes

This screen is used to establish or change name and address and other miscellaneous information for the portfolio.

• NAME
  Enter or change the portfolio name. This name appears on the first line of report headings for the portfolio. Also, the name for default portfolio 1 appears at the top of all LeasePak screens.

• ADDRESS / CITY / STATE / ZIP
  Enter the portfolio address. These fields are informational only.

• PHONE
  Enter the portfolio area code and phone number. This field is informational only.

• DIVISION NAME (REPORT HEADING)
  Enter the portfolio division name. This name, if entered, appears on the second line of all report headings for the portfolio.

• INVOICE HEADING CODE
  This field is not used in LeasePak.

• INVOICE FORMAT CODE
  This field is not used in LeasePak.

• LAST PAID AMOUNT ON INVOICE (Y/N)
  Check this box to have the amount from rls.cur_paid_d (appearing as R0905 Lease Inquiry AMOUNT CURR PAID) carried over into rls.lst_paid_d (appearing as R0905 Lease Inquiry AMOUNT LAST PAID) during invoicing at End of Period.

• SORT INVOICES BY CUSTOMER (Y/N)
  This field is not used in LeasePak. If the user generates invoices from the old LeasePak scratch files, this check box should only be selected if the user's database is set up so that all lessees belong to customers. Otherwise, leave this field unchecked.

• PORTFOLIO INTEREST TYPE
  This 4-character code indicates the type of leases that are included in the portfolio. It is structured in the following manner:

  Nxxx or Rxxx

  The first character is N or R. N indicates base rates are not monitored (i.e., no floating rate leases in the portfolio). R indicates base rates must be updated daily (i.e., floating rate leases exist in the portfolio).

  If R is entered, the user must update the base rates each day before New Lease update [U0101], Accrual update [U0301], Payoff update [U0103], or End of Period update [U0401] may be entered.

  xNxx or xPxx

  The second character is either N or P. N indicates no precomputed interest leases exist in the portfolio. P indicates they do. Refer to the Calculations document of the Reference Guide for definitions of precomputed leases.

  xxNx or xxSx

  The third character is either N or S. N indicates no simple interest leases exist in the portfolio. S indicates that they do. Refer to the Calculations document of the Reference Guide for definitions of simple interest leases.

  xxxN or xxxO

  The fourth character is either N or the letter O. N indicates no operating leases exist in the portfolio. O indicates they do. Refer to the Calculations document of the Reference Guide for definitions of operating leases. Operating leases are designated by a lease type of OPER, entered during the Book Lease option of the New Lease update [U0101].

  A warning message is displayed if the base rate indicator is turned on so that base rates must be updated daily or if any of the 3 types of leases is specified as not existing in the portfolio. This code is used by certain functions, such as the Trial Balance report [R0901], which report separately on leases in each of these 3 categories. Therefore, care should be exercised when changing this code.

• REMITTANCE CODE
  The remittance address is the return address that is printed on the invoice and is maintained through the Auxiliary Address update [U0704]. Enter or change the remittance code that indicates how LeasePak derives the default remit to address when a lessee address is added or changed (through the Lessee update [U0203]).
  
  Valid remittance codes are:

  CL The default remittance address is the remittance address set up with a code of 1. If none of the following special default methods are used, then this method should be selected, and a remittance address with code 1 should be established through the Auxiliary Address update [U0704].

  COMP The default remittance address is the address coded to match portfolio and company number of the lease. For example, if the lease belongs to portfolio 1 and company 2, a remittance address of 12 should be set up. Use the Auxiliary Address update [U0704] to set up a remittance address for each combination of portfolio and company used.

  ENT No default remittance address exists. The remittance address must be entered by the user for each lease.

  GEO1 The default remittance address is based on the lessee address state. Each remittance code entered through the Auxiliary Address update [U0704] must have a list of states associated with it. (Refer to the documentation for Auxiliary Address update [U0704]).

  PORT The default remittance address is coded to match the portfolio number of the lease. For example, if the lease belongs to portfolio 2, remittance address 2 should be set up. Use the Auxiliary Address update [U0704] to set up a remittance address for each portfolio used. Consider this option only if the Multi Portfolio Processing module is purchased.

  REGN The default remittance address is coded to match the company and region number of the lease. For example, if the lease belongs to company 2, region 3, remittance address 23 should be set up. Use the Auxiliary Address update [U0704] to set up a remittance address for each combination of company and region used. Consider this option only if the Multi Portfolio Processing module is not purchased.

  In all cases, if the default remittance address does not exist, no default is displayed by the Book Lease option of the New Lease update [U0101] or the Lessee update [U0203].

• BATCH QUEUE NAME
  Enter or change the logical name of the batch queue to which batch report jobs are to be directed (e.g., SYS$BATCH). Logical names are system parameters, so the system manager should be consulted before a logical name is entered or changed. LeasePak does not verify the logical name. If an invalid name is entered, batch reports cannot be executed.

• LASER INVOICE FORM CODE (GROUP)
  This field is not used in LeasePak.

• LASER INVOICE FORM CODE (INDIVIDUAL)
  This field is not used in LeasePak.

• REVERSAL BANK CODE
  This parameter appears only if the Multiple Banks module is purchased. When the Reverse Payment to Effective Date option of the Payment update [U0102] is used, this REVERSAL BANK CODE will default for the payment reversal. It affects only the [U0102RP] option, and has no effect on other updates. It may be overridden if desired. Generally a "dummy" or clearing bank code would be used as the default for payments reversed back to the commencement date prior to rebooking.

• DEFICIENCY PORTFOLIO
  This field indicates that whether or not the portfolio is designated as a deficiency portfolio. Check this box to make the selected portfolio a deficiency portfolio and unchecked otherwise. If this check box is selected, leases with an activity status of either NCxx or NPxx that are being change keyed into this deficiency portfolio and have lease-level accrual-basis assessments that are being change keyed into the deficiency portfolio will be charged-Off from the non-deficiency portfolio using end of term (EOT) lease gross charge-off general ledger account when a change key is done.

• CURRENCY TYPE CODE
  Select currency type code for debits.
  • AUD - Australian Dollar
  • CAD - Canada Dollars
  • USD - Us Dollars

Deferral, Year End, FMV, EXT/DEF, Auto Suspend

This screen is used to establish or change miscellaneous information for the portfolio.

• LAST DAY OF THE MONTH
  Enter or change the day the accounting books are closed monthly. This is the day End of Month processing should normally be submitted. End of Month may be submitted up to 5 days before this day for the current month. End of Month may also be submitted later, any number of days after this day. However, a month should never be skipped entirely. To specify that End of Month processing should normally occur on the last day of each month, enter 31. LeasePak adjusts this number for months with fewer than 31 days.
  
  With the Month End Accrual and Invoicing module (Part of the JULE Fund 1999 package), LeasePak can accrue and invoice up to the actual month end when End of Month is submitted prior to the actual end of month day. The day entered in this field will guide the actual number of days that EOM can be submitted and all leases included. The exact day when accruals and /or invoicing will take place will depend on the INVOICING DEFERRAL DAYS and ACCRUAL DEFERRAL DAYS set below.

Late Charges will only be assessed when the lease is past due. For example, End of Month is run on the 29th and LeasePak is processing pre-accruals and invoices up to the 31st of the month, Late Charges will not be assessed until on or after the 31st of the month.

Additionally, when Advance Invoicing is on, the Place Late Charge on Delinquent Invoice field in Lease Form [U0721] must be set to 'Y'.

• APPLY CREDIT MEMO FREQUENCY
  Select 'D' to set this field to process outstanding invoices on daily basis. Select 'M' for monthly credit memo or select O to turn off credit memo processing for all of the outstanding invoices. This field will determine whether to apply credit memo daily, monthly, or to turn off credit memo processing during EOP for the outstanding invoice amount. LeasePak defaults this field to 'M' to apply credit memo on monthly basis.

• GRACE PERIOD IN DAYS
  Enter or change grace period at the portfolio level. Portfolio grace period determines the group of leases to accrue and/or invoice during End of Day processing, even if the grace period for the lease is changed when the lease is booked. LeasePak waits this number of days before accruing and invoicing leases for the following month. For example, if portfolio grace period is 10 days and the lease grace period is 5 days, LeasePak waits until the eleventh of the month before accruing leases with payments due on the first. This allows late charge calculation and assessment to be performed for all leases in the portfolio at the time of the accrual. If the lease is accrued interactively between the sixth and the eleventh of the month, however, it is accrued for the next month.
  
  You can set the grace period for any amount between 0 and 999 days.
  
  Grace period is set up at the portfolio, lease form, and lease levels. Portfolio level grace period should be the maximum grace period allowed for any lease whose late charge calculation is not controlled by the actual number of days delinquent (i.e., late charge method is not GFTx or GFLx). The actual grace period, if it differs from the portfolio period, may be changed when the lease is booked. Refer to the LATE CHARGE INFORMAITON screen of the Lease Form update [U0721] for more information regarding late charge methods.
  
  

  Notes on specific late charge methods. For leases using 'GFT*' or 'GFL*' late charge methods, you must set grace days through the Lease Form [U0721] and override if needed at the application/lease level. For leases using late charge methods that assess only one late charge per invoice (such as 'PERC' and 'FIX'), LeasePak will assess the late charge only if both the following are true:
  
  1. Invoice due date + grace days < current accrued-to date
  
  2. Invoice due date + grace days >= current accrued-to date - one month

• SUSPENSE LIMIT IN DAYS
  Enter or change the number of days to wait before a cleared suspense item is automatically deleted by the End of Day process. A cleared suspense item has zero remaining balance. An open suspense item (i.e., one with a non-zero remaining balance) is never automatically deleted, regardless of the number of days it has been on file.

• FISCAL YEAR END
  Enter or change the corporate fiscal year end date in MM/DD format. The End of Year process automatically executes after End of Month process for the specified month of the year end. For example, if fiscal year end is 06/30, the End of Year process executes immediately after End of Month for June. The End of Year Tax Model may be executed only between this date and the TAX REPORTING DEADLINE FOR YEAR END date.

• TAX REPORTING DEADLINE
  Enter or change the tax reporting deadline in MM/DD format. The End of Year tax model may be executed between the FISCAL YEAR END and this date. For example, if fiscal year end is 6/30 and tax reporting deadline is 9/30, the tax model may be executed between 6/30 and 9/30. The tax model allows "what-if" modeling and file changes to depreciation and/or ITC methods specified for assets booked during the just-completed fiscal year.

• ITC CUTOFF DATE
  Enter or change the ITC cutoff date in MM/DD format. Depreciation and ITC methods for leases booked during the just-completed fiscal year may only be changed between the FISCAL YEAR END and this date.

• INVOICING DEFERRAL DAYS
  This field is the number of days AFTER payment due day that the lease should be invoiced for the following month. For example, if this field is set to10 days, cycle invoices run every day, and today is the eleventh, LeasePak will invoice today for leases due on the first of next month. If the lease is invoiced interactively, Invoicing Deferral Days is not applicable.
  Possible deferral and invoicing days valid ranges for the following payment frequencies are as follows:
  • Bi-Weekly - 0-14
  • Weekly - 0-7
  • Monthly - 0-30
  • Semi-Monthly - 0-15

• ACCRUAL DEFERRAL DAYS
  This field is the number of days AFTER payment due day that the lease should be accrued for the following month. For example, if this field is set to10 days, cycle accruals run every day, and today is the eleventh, LeasePak will accrue today leases due on the first of next month.
  
  The Month End Accrual Invoicing enhancement will accrue and invoice based on the numbers entered in the above fields, Invoicing Deferral Days and Accrual Deferral Days.
  
  In order for the NUMBER OF DAYS FOR ADVANCED INVOICES switch in Lease Form [U0721] to perform correctly, the above two fields must be set to 0.
  
  The exact day will be based on:

  Day of Accrual = invoice due day + accrual deferral days
  Day of Invoice = invoice due day + invoicing deferral days

  Example of behavior is as follows:

  A lease has a due date of the 31st, Accrual Deferral is set to 0, than lease will always be included in EOM accrual regardless of the number of days in each month.

  If a lease has a due date of the 20th and the accrual deferral day is set to 11, than it will be included in EOM accrual on if the month has 31 days. For example, if End of Month is submitted on April 25, accruals will run through April 30th. The accrual for this lease will not be picked up until May 1st.

  For more details on number of days to be deferred and invoiced depending on the accrual/billing cycles defined, refer to Alternate Accrual/Billing Cycle.

  Following table illustrates the deferral days with invoice due date for different type of accrual/billing cycles.

• TAX RATE%
  Enter or change the corporate tax rate. This rate is used in yield calculations by the Model Amortization report [R0109]. If the tax rate is 26%, enter 26.00000, not ___.26000

• BAD DEBT%
  Enter or change the portfolio default for bad debt percentage. This percentage of the contract receivable is allocated to an allowance for bad debt reserve when a new lease is booked. (The percentage may be changed for individual leases in the Book Lease option of the New Lease update [U0101].) If the percentage is 2%, then enter _2.00000, not ___.02000.

• COMMISSION RATE%
  Enter or change the commission rate for salespersons, if applicable. This rate times the net present value of the lease's payment stream (using the discount rate) is displayed on the Salesperson Commission report [R0204]. Do not enter a rate if this commission calculation is not applicable. If the rate is 6%, then enter _6.00000, not ___.06000.

• GRACE AMOUNT
  Late charges are not assessed on delinquent balances less than or equal to this amount. Leases with delinquent balances less than or equal to this amount will not be considered delinquent by the Collections module.

• PMTS TO ALLOW FIRST EXT / DEF
  Enter or change the number of payments that will allow for the first payment extension or deferment.

• PMTS TO ALLOW BETWEEN NEXT EXT. / DEF
  Enter or change the number of payments that will allow for a next extension or deferment.

If a lease is not eligible for an extension, LeasePak will prompt the user and not allow an extension to be made until the lease meets the extension criteria. Only a user with Collection or Customer Service Supervisor security may override the eligibility if the lease does not meet the criteria.

Also, the Extension and Deferment eligibility switches are governed by the EXT/ DEF ELIGIBILITY (Y/N) switch in the Miscellaneous Customization option of the Custom General update [U0712].

• MAX PMT EXT/DEF ORP/FIN
  Enter or change the maximum number of payments to extend or defer a lease based on whether the lease is an operating or finance lease.

• REVERSE EXT FEE TO SUSP Y/N
  Enter Y or N for the extension reversal fee to be places in Suspense. When 'Y' is selected the extension fee will be placed in Suspense [U0109]. If 'N' is selected, the extension fee will be placed in cash.

The Payment Extension Reversal will reverse any paid extension fees. When the Cash Control module is purchased, LeasePak will allow for a new reversal by reason code to be entered for any paid extension fees. The payment extension/deferment can be reversed in the Payment Reversal or Batch Number Payment Reversal [U0102] updates.

• ALLOW RESCHDL RESIDUAL UPDATE Y/N
  Enter Y or N to allow for the new residual to be rescheduled.

If DEF is the selected adjustment method and the number of months to be deferred and the processing month has been entered, LeasePak will defer and reschedule the first payment if the last accrued to date is later than the processing month. When the deferment is a SKIP payment, LeasePak will readjust the payment schedule accordingly.

Additionally, the existing extension fee assessment will be used for the deferment fee.

• REVERSAL SUSPENSE LIMIT DAYS
  
  

• AUTO SUSPEND DAYS
  Enter or change the number of days to suspend a delinquent lease. The default value is 60 days.
  
  This field will allow LeasePak to automatically suspend a lease that has become delinquent by the total number of days entered above. All income and/or contra income recognition will be suspended when the lease is delinquent past the number of days entered. LeasePak will place the account in NHLD status. This field will also work in conjunction with the RECOGNIZE SUSP INCOME AT TIME OF PAYMENT switch.

• AUTO UNSUSPEND DAYS
  Enter or change the number of days to unsuspend a delinquent lease. The default value is 30 days.
  
  This field will allow LeasePak to automatically unsuspend a delinquent lease once income earnings have been re-instated. The activity status of the lease once unsuspended will be ANOR.
  
  
• ASSET PERCENTAGE CALC METHOD (A/P)
  This field is displayed when the Asset Percentage Calc Method (A/P/C) switch in the Miscellaneous Customization option of the Custom General [U0712] update, is set to C. This switch allows LeasePak to have an alternate percent of schedule calculation at the Portfolio level. When changing this, LeasePak displays the following warning message: "Warning: Changing the calc method to existing leases may produce inaccurate data". Exercise caution when using this option at this level for existing leases, it may produce inaccurate data.
  
  
  • Enter 'A' to calculate the percent of schedule by Acquisition Cost.
  • Enter 'P' to calculate the percent of schedule by Payment Amount.

LeasePak allows for an alternate calculation for percent of schedule based on the weighted share of the total payment amount. See EBV Payoff Method in the Calculations Document of the Reference Guide

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.

This does not affect the Asset Payment Amount field in Book Lease Update [U0101] and may not be changed unless in Rebook [U0116].

Cashier's Checks, Upfront Sales Tax, Delinquency Categories

This screen is used to establish or change miscellaneous parameter information for the portfolio.

• SESSION UPDATE USED (Y/N)
  Check this box if sessions are used for the portfolio. Sessions provide operational and balancing control over transactions involving cash receipts, such as payments or new lease bookings. If sessions are used, an operator may not process payments greater than the amount assigned to his/her session. An associated session parameter, ASSIGN CASH DISBURSEMENTS THROUGH SESSION (Y/N), exists under the New Lease Customizations section. This allows control over cash disbursements (e.g., vendor payments, broker payments, etc.) through the session. Refer to the Session update [U0111] documentation for more information.

• TRANSFER PAYMENT TRANSACTION TO HISTORICAL FILE (Y/N)
  Check this box if payment information on the Transaction (RTX) file is to be transferred to the Historical Transaction (RHT) file by the Historical Payment/RTX Cleanup update [U0451] during End of Month. If unchecked, payment transaction information for previous months is no longer available once End of Month is run. This means that the Account Payment History report [R0909] reflects payments made in the current month and payment reversals are only possible on these transactions. The purpose of keeping this option unchecked is to reduce storage space occupied by historical information.
  

• WARNING MESSAGE FOR PAYMENT OF NON-DELINQUENT INVOICE (Y/N)
  Check this box to display a warning message in the Payments update [U0102] informing the user that the invoice number entered to be paid is not the most delinquent invoice for the lease. This parameter does not restrict the user from applying a payment to an invoice that is not the most delinquent.

• LEASE FACTOR SWITCH (P/R)
  Two type of lease factors are calculated by LeasePak: payment and rental income. Enter P if the lease factor should be calculated as a payment factor, R as a rental income factor. Refer to Application Screen/tab 9 of the Application update [U0801] for more information.

• DELINQUENCY REPORT INTERACTIVE WATCH CODE OR GRACE PERIOD (W/G)
  Enter W if the lease's watch code should be used to determine delinquency for delinquency reports executed interactively. Enter G if the lease's grace period should be used.

• DELINQUENCY REPORT END OF PERIOD WATCH CODE OR GRACE PERIOD (W/G)
  Enter W if the lease's watch code should be used to determine delinquency for delinquency reports executed from End of Period. Enter G if the lease's grace period should be used.

• PORTFOLIO STATUS REPORT WATCH CODE OR GRACE PERIOD (W/G)
  Enter W if the lease's watch code should be used to determine delinquency for the Portfolio Status report [R0104]. Enter G if the lease's grace period should be used.

• DISBURSE UPFRONT SALES TAX (Y/N)
  Check this box if LeasePak should disburse upfront sales tax through End of Period Use Tax Disbursal [U0449]. Upfront sales tax amounts will be disbursed when adding the asset through the Use Tax Disbursal report [U0449].

• ALTERNATE INSURANCE FOLLOW-UP REPORT (Y/N)
  Check this box if LeasePak should generate an alternative Insurance Follow-up report [R0904]. The alternative report differs from the original in the following respects:
  
  
  • lessee address is not printed
  • asset serial number is replaced by the asset classification

Refer to the Insurance Follow-up report [R0904] documentation for report samples and field descriptions.

• ALTERNATE DELINQUENCY REPORT (Y/N)
  Check this box if LeasePak should generate an alternate Delinquency report [R0601]. The alternate report differs from the original in the following respects:
  
  
  • lessee's watch code is printed
  • number of times delinquent and number of days delinquent columns are moved to the far right on the report
  • maturity date is not printed
  • interest due and assessment due amounts are not printed
  • total due to current (including amounts not yet delinquent) is printed

Refer to Delinquency report [R0601] documentation for report samples and field descriptions.

• DELINQUENCY CATEGORY BOUNDARIES
  These numbers control how aging and delinquency reports group outstanding receivables into certain categories or "buckets" (e.g., 1-30 days delinquent, 31- 60 days delinquent, etc.). As well as setting the necessary parameters for default de-securitization. Enter or change 6 delinquency category boundaries. Each number must be greater than the previous number. For example, enter 30, 60, and 90,120,180 to set up buckets of 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 121-180, and 181+.

• NUMBER OF MONTH BEFORE CLEANING UP CASHIER's CHECK RECORDS
  Enter or change the number of months to wait before records in the rck Cashier’s Check table are removed. Original check are required to be able o reverse the check or perform a chargeback. If the value is set to zero, LeasePak performs a clean up of all RCK table records that exist each time the clean-up is run and will not retain any RCK records. If the entered value is up to maximum of 99, LeasePak will not perform any clean-up and leaves all of the RCK records untouched.
  
  

• NUMBER OF MONTHS TO WAIT BEFORE CLEANING UP LEASE LVL TRANSACTIONS
  This field is no longer necessary. All lease level transactions are automatically updated by lease in the General Ledger. Therefore, no cleanup is necessary.

• NUMBER OF DAYS TO WAIT BEFORE CLEANING UP LEASE RECORDS
  Enter or change the number of days to wait before information on closed leases (e.g., Master Financial, Address, Demographic, etc.) is moved to historical lease file and removed from active lease files. The historical lease file contains major lease information components, such as financial numbers (original cost, residual, payoff amount, gain/loss, etc.), original payment schedule, address information, and dates (commencement, maturity, payoff, etc.). Refer to the Closed Lease Cleanup [U0419] description in the End of Period [U04] documentation for more information.
  
  Original lease information is required to reverse payoffs or terminations, so a sufficient number of days should be entered to assure that needed reversals can be processed. Available computer storage space should also be considered when setting this parameter. If storage space is limited, a large number for this parameter would cause larger than necessary data files and file access delays.

• NUMBER OF MONTHS TO WAIT BEFORE CLEANING UP HISTORICAL PAYMENT RECORDS
  Enter or change the number of months before cleaning up the Payments Records of delinquent leases that have been reported to the Credit Bureau. TRW requires leases to be reported for at least 2 months. This function is performed during End of Period.
  
  Additionally, when Transfer Payment Transactions to Historical File (Y/N) is set to Y, LeasePak along with lease/util 220 Historical RTX Clean-up, will allow the user to run the Historical Payments/RTX Clean-up [U0451] interactively, up to the entered date of this field. The RTX Clean-up update will run during end of month as scheduled.
  
  

• ASSESS LATE CHARGES TO LEASES LESS THAN 60 DAYS OLD (Y/N)
  Check this box to assess late charges to leases newly booked within the last 60 days.

Grand Total Page Breaks, Miscellaneous Settings

This screen is used to select when page breaks occur in printing grand totals on reports. For example, if only company key is marked Y, then pages will break after grand totals for each company. This screen is also used to format how total lines for different key levels are displayed, and for several other miscellaneous parameters described below.

• GRAND TOTAL PAGE BREAKS PORTFOLIO (Y/N)
