Frequency Change
Scenario: Renegotiated lease agreement to change the payment frequency from Monthly to Quarterly.
Step |
Action: Modify deal |
---|---|
1 |
Search for the deal using the Top Search Bar and Deal #. |
2 |
From the Left NavBar, hover over Record Event. Since we are dealing with payments, hover over Record Payment and then Change a payment. Since you’ve indicated that this is a material renegotiation, you’ll click on Record payment change with contract renegotiation. This will take you to the Modify Deal workspace. |
3 |
On Terms tile of the Modify Deal workspace, change the Periodic Payment Frequency to the new frequency. |
4 |
Adjust the number of payments to coincide with the remaining payments according to the new frequency. |
5 |
Calculate the new LRF based on the new payment amount for the new frequency and populate the LRF field, tabbing out of it to verify the payment changes correctly. |
6 |
Since all original EOT options are removed from the modified deal, all options must be added with an accurate effective month, according to the term of the new modified deal. To do this, click the Mid-Term/EOT button and add the correct options. Remember, enter all options available per the contract, not just the Reasonably Certain option.
Note: If you are not changing your reasonably certain EOT option, you may look in the Existing Terms section to see which option was originally reasonably certain.
|
7 |
Go to the Summary tile and verify all information is accurate. |
8 |
Verify the Reasonably Certain EOT Option is correct in the After Modification column. This drop-down will now reflect the newly added Reasonably Certain options only. If there are multiple RC options, the system will default to select the option with the latest effective month. |
9 |
Enter your Reasonably Certain Holding Period in the After Modification column. Please note, this should respect the remaining term for the modified deal. |
10 |
Enter the appropriate Date of Modification. This should be the first day of a payment period and will be the new Lease Start Date of the modified deal. It cannot be the lease start date of the original lease, nor can it be a date in the future. |
11 |
Enter any relevant comments. |
12 |
Click Record Modification. |
13 |
Click Okay on the warning box telling you a new deal will be created and the original deal will remain active until you classify and book the new, modified deal. |

21 |
The appropriate ledgers are pre-populated from the original deal and must be used to book the modified deal to maintain the linkage. Please note, the modified deal must be booked to the same ledgers the original deal was booked. When a lease is booked to a different ledger, this must be entered as a brand-new lease, not a modification. |
22 |
Verify the correct option is selected for Expected Disposition, change as necessary. |
23 |
Verify the correct option is selected for Expected Disposition. If you were unable to select the correct RC Option in the Modify Deal workspace, you may do so now. |
24 |
Verify the correct IBR is populating. If you would like the system to use the default IBR according to remaining term, country, and Lessee, click Use Default IBR. |
25 |
Click the Book button. |

You will be taken to Deal Summary. Once the booking is complete, you should click Deal Summary on the Left NavBar again to refresh/reload the page. Now you should see the ledgers and all relevant information for the modified deal. |
Changing non-RC Option and RCHP
Scenario: Changing a renewal option that was not originally Reasonably Certain to be exercised to be Reasonably Certain, thus requiring a change in the RCHP.
If the renewal is ready to be exercised, you can record the asset event and exercise that renewal which will drive a remeasurement. If the renewal is not ready to be exercised but your Reasonably Certain Holding Period (RCHP) is changing, you must Modify the deal.

Early Termination/Change in RCHP
Scenario: Decision was made to exit a building before lease expiration, so the RCHP must be changed.
In this scenario, you would choose the return or early return option. Record the asset event to drive a remeasurement if the return is ready to be exercised. If the return is not ready to be exercised, but the RCHP is changing, modify the deal. Exiting the building but expecting to continue making payments fully impairs the asset. If you impair the asset, no deal modification is necessary.

Change in Payment/FMV/Adding Renewal Option
Scenario: The lease has been renegotiated to include a change in the payment. The Fair Market Value has changed due to an updated Asset Valuation; therefore, the LRF and Unit Price must also be updated per the new agreement. In addition, the Lessor has agreed to an additional renewal option for 36 months at the new payment amount.
In this scenario, several changes need to be captured in the modification. Follow the steps below to make all necessary updates and book the modified deal.
Step |
Action: Modify deal |
---|---|
1 |
Search for the deal using the Top Search Bar and Deal #. |
2 |

3 |
On the terms tile change the # of Monthly Payments to represent the remaining term as of the date when the new payment amount starts. LeaseAccelerator will calculate remaining term based on the current date, so if you are backdating a modification, you need to adjust the term of the modified deal. |
4 |
In the LRF, enter the new calculated LRF based on the new payment divided by the new unit price. (LRF = Payment/Total asset(s) price) |
5 |
Tab out of the LRF field. You will see the payment amount change. It will not be accurate yet since you have not changed the Unit Price yet. That step is done after saving the modification. |
6 |
Since all original EOT options are removed from the modified deal, all options must be added with an accurate effective month, according to the term of the new modified deal. To do this, click the Mid-Term/EOT button and add the correct options. Remember, enter all options available per the contract, not just the Reasonably Certain option. Note: If you are not changing your reasonably certain EOT option, you may look in the Existing Terms section to see which option was originally reasonably certain. |
7 |

8 |
Select End of Term from the first drop-down. |
