Lease Amortisation

Written by Russ Mullender

Overview

The Lease Amortisation screen displays the amortisation schedule for a leased asset. It shows a period-by-period breakdown of lease liability and depreciation, detailing how each payment is split between interest (finance charge) and capital repayment. You can use this screen to review lease positions, track posted transactions, and export the schedule in several formats.

Getting here

  1. Open the sidebar.

  2. Click Reports.

  3. Click Lease Amortisation.

You need the insights permission to access this screen.

  • Sort the schedule by any column.

  • Navigate through pages of results.

  • Select individual rows or all rows on the current page.

  • Export the schedule to CSV, Excel, or PDF.

  • Filter the data using the side panel.

View the amortisation schedule

Once you select an asset, the screen displays:

  • A lease information banner showing the lease reference, lease description, asset code, asset description, and the total number of periods.

  • A table with one row per period in the schedule.

  • A footer showing summary totals for total interest, total payments, and total depreciation, along with pagination controls.

You can click the asset code or asset description in the lease information banner to navigate to that asset's detail page.

Sort the schedule

  1. Select a column header to sort the table by that column in ascending order.

  2. Select the same column header again to sort in descending order.

  3. Select it a third time to remove sorting for that column.

A sort arrow appears next to the active sort column to indicate the current sort direction.

Navigate between pages

The table displays 25 rows per page. Use the pagination controls at the bottom of the screen to move between pages:

  • Click First to go to the first page.

  • Click Previous to go back one page.

  • Click Next to go forward one page.

  • Click Last to go to the last page.

The footer shows which rows you are viewing (for example, "Showing 1-25 of 60 periods").

Select rows

You can select rows using the checkboxes on the left side of the table.

  • To select a single row, tick the checkbox next to that row.

  • To select all rows on the current page, tick the checkbox in the column header.
