Bulk Lease Accounting Data Import

Lucernex supports bulk updates to your data through the use of import spreadsheets. Import spreadsheets allow you to make necessary data changes quickly and accurately, with prompt feedback from the system if there is an error. In this document, we will discuss the spreadsheets that can be used to update fields that support ASC 840, ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87 compliance, and how to utilize them.

Download the import spreadsheets for these procedures. These spreadsheets contain tips and sample data to help you with completing them.

Prerequisites and recommendations for importing a spreadsheet

This section contains prerequisites for importing a spreadsheet and recommendations to import spreadsheet data correctly.

Lucernex file import supports XLS, XLSX, and XML format.

Important!

Failure to comply the prerequisites and recommendations in this section, may result in incorrect data in the system.

ClosedPrerequisites

  • System Administrator access to the Import Data page.

  • Download a new copy of the import spreadsheet to ensure system changes are captured and to avoid carrying over errors from previous data imports.

  • Give your spreadsheet a unique name so that you can track changes.

  • Plan large uploads (more than 2,000 rows) after normal business hours.

  • Test the import in TRAIN before importing to PRODUCTION

ClosedRecommendations

  • Do not change column header names

  • Do not add new sheets to the spreadsheet

  • Do not change the name of the spreadsheet tab, unless instructed to do so

  • Hide columns you do not plan to use, but do not delete them

  • Ensure the file extension of the import file matches the file type of a supported import file format such as XLS, XLSX, and XML.

  • To clear a field that currently contains a value in the system, type Null.

  • To skip entering a value in a field, leave the field in the spreadsheet blank.

  • Ensure all data exactly matches to avoid the system creating records with incorrect data. For example, contract names must include the same number of spaces.

  • Entering data on first available row after the header.

  • Avoid using special characters such as quotes and percentage signs

  • Enter dates in MM/DD/YYYY format.

  • To create a record, type FALSE in the Update Only column. To update a record, type TRUE in the Update Only column.

  • To enter multiple values for column headers with an asterisk * at the end, ensure each value is separated by a comma.

ClosedPre-Import Requirements

Before importing your data, you must meet the following requirements:

  1. The contracts you are configuring for ASC 840, ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87 must be entered in the system. The required data for your contracts includes:

    1. Commencement Dates

    2. Expiration Dates

    3. Payment Begin Dates

    4. Payment End Dates

    5. Likely Option Dates

      This includes terms, purchase, and cancellation options as well as residual value guarantees.

  2. Your rent schedules must be entered in the system.

    Rent schedules should be entered through the Likely End Date.

    Look at your rent forecast to make sure your rent is correct and included in all likely periods.

  3. Your Schedule Types must be created and associated with the appropriate Expense Types.

    Important!

    We recommend that you give your schedule types unique names that distinguish whether the schedule type is an ASC 840, ASC 842, IFRS 16, or GASB 87 schedule.

  4. Your General Ledger Codes must be entered for each Schedule Type.

    Enter any other GL coding as required for specific ERPs.

  5. Your Discount Rate must be determined.

    The Discount Rate is also known as the Interest Rate or Internal Borrower Rate (IBR).

  6. If you are converting an existing ASC 840 Operating lease to ASC 842, you will need to determine the Cumulative Deferred Balance of the Straight Line schedule as of your Conversion Date.

    Your Cumulative Deferred Balance will be included in the adjustment of the Right of Use Asset, and will be entered in the Payments Before Commencement field.

  7. You must know the classification of the leases you want to import.

  8. If they were not included with this document, request the eight spreadsheets described in the Spreadsheets Relevant to Lease Accounting section below.

ClosedSpreadsheets Relevant to Lease Accounting

Four import spreadsheets can be used to update data relevant to ASC 840, ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87.

If you need assistance completing a spreadsheet, contact Accruent Support or your Professional Services representative.

The four data import spreadsheets relevant to lease accounting are:

Accounting Assumptions Spreadsheets

Important!

These spreadsheets must be imported prior to importing the Accounting Schedule spreadsheets.

The contract-level Accounting Assumptions spreadsheet can be used for ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87 for both the Contract and Equipment Contract modules.

ClosedStep 6: Re-Measure Your Contract-Level Lease Accounting Schedules Using the FASB / IASB Re-Measurement Report

The FASB / IASB Re-Measurement Report template will produce an excel file that can be imported to regenerate schedules that are out of date in bulk. This report template fetches FASB / IASB schedules that have the Recalc?flag set to Yes. This feature will be of high value for clients with a high volume of leases to manage.

Important!

This process for recalculating schedules in bulk requires that all re-measurement values are entered in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet import will NOT pick up values entered on the Accounting Assumptions page. This means you have a choice for how you want to handle re-measurements:

  • Either you make changes on the Accounting Assumptions page and then manually recalculate schedules, or

  • You can use the accounting assumption import spreadsheets above to enter accounting assumptions in bulk, and then recalculate your schedules.

Important!

    Your contract data appears pre-populated in the spreadsheet.

    Important!

    When you first open the spreadsheet, it will be in Protected View mode. Before you can edit the spreadsheet, you must click Enable Editing in the banner at the top of the spreadsheet.

    Note:

    Several columns will be pre-populated with data from your existing schedules.

    Note:

    The Accounting Begin Date is not from the current schedule. Its value is the day after the last posted period end date of the current schedule. If there are no posted periods, this column is empty. The Remeasurement Balance Forward populates when there is a computed value from the last posted record.

  2. If your accounting method has changed, enter either Operating or Finance in Column F, the SLSummary.CodeAccountingMethodID column.

  3. If there is a change in value in the underlying asset, enter either a percentage value or a fixed dollar amount in Column I, the SLSummary.ProfitAndLossImpact column.

ClosedStep 7: Re-Measure Your Asset-Level Lease Accounting Schedules Using the FASB / IASB Equipment Re-Measurement Report

The FASB / IASB Equipment Re-Measurement Report template will produce an excel file that can be imported to regenerate schedules that are out of date in bulk. This report template fetches FASB / IASB asset schedules that have the Recalc?flag set to Yes. This feature will be of high value for clients with a high volume of leases to manage.

Important!

This report should be used for re-calculation only.

This process for recalculating schedules in bulk requires that all re-measurement values are entered in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet import will NOT pick up values entered on the Equipment Accounting Assumptions page. This means you have a choice for how you want to handle re-measurements:

  • Either you make changes on the Equipment Accounting Assumptions page and then manually recalculate schedules, or

  • You can use the accounting assumption import spreadsheets above to enter accounting assumptions in bulk, and then recalculate your schedules.
