Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Lease Finance Operations for your business. Start with one organization, a few lessors, a partner billing case and a payment rehearsal.
It moves an eligible invoice to Approved and records a review decision and an operation receipt. The Controller should inspect the source invoice and coding before using the action.
Use the AP Bills Worklist or Lease Invoice Control Desk to open the underlying invoice. Keep the lessor's correspondence attached to that record.
Yes. Prepare a draft billing with partner, amount and lines, then use the native send action. Check its operation receipt and retain delivery evidence under your chosen process.
The billing carries the amount received and balance due. Its status can show Partially Paid, while a linked inbound payment records the cash movement.
Released is the outcome of the payment release step. Reconciled means Treasury has matched the movement to bank evidence and recorded the bank reference.
A payment record can reference a lease invoice or lease billing. Its direction distinguishes outbound movement from inbound collection.
Check organization, accounting period, source, ledger accounts, debit and credit totals, and the out-of-balance result. Open the lines when a total needs explanation.
Review decisions record who decided, when and under what conditions. Operation receipts record whether a native action ran and its result. Source documents remain on their related records.
Add the organization and verify its country and base currency, then review counterparty assignments, finance team members and accounting periods before entering transactions.
