Lease/Rental Contracts

You use the Lease/Rental Contracts application to define the overall terms and conditions of an agreement between a vendor and a customer that pertains to rotating assets. A rotating asset is an asset that is interchangeable, such as a motor, pump, or laptop computer.

Rotating assets have an asset number and an inventory item number. Using both of these numbers, you track the asset as it moves from an operating location to a storeroom and back to an operating location.

After the customer receives the assets, the Lease/Rental Contracts application provides the details of the individual costs per asset. Payment schedule details are generally consolidated and provided on a monthly or quarterly basis. The payment schedule details can include the following information:
  • Total payment amount
  • Total number of payments
  • Lease rate factor
  • Period payment amount
  • Costs associated with each asset that was delivered during the specified time period

When you receive a new payment schedule, you can create a lease contract under the master agreement, add a payment to an existing lease contract, or create a lease contract under the existing master with one line of payment schedule details.
