What has changed in FMIS Lease Accounting version 12.47?
Which lease accounting reports have been updated?
Version 12.47 includes performance changes to the Lease Summary, Lease Details, Future Payments and Payments by Year reports.
The changes are intended to improve report performance where the system contains a high volume of leases. This should reduce the time spent waiting for information during routine review and reporting, although the effect will vary according to the size of the lease portfolio and the customer environment.
How has lease import processing changed?
The import processes for new leases, lease adjustments and terminations have been updated to improve performance when customers load larger volumes of lease information.
This is relevant during initial implementation and in ongoing use. Finance teams may need to add new contracts in bulk, apply adjustments across existing records or process terminations as part of a wider portfolio update.
What support has been added for lease data conversion?
A new Data Conversion Liability Start Date (No Interest) setting has been added to Lease Settings. It is intended for defined conversion scenarios, including the initial setup of a new company or the transfer of leases following a company merger.
Where a lease has a liability start date that matches the configured date, FMIS treats it as a transition lease. The system does not create a brought-forward liability, charge interest in the conversion period or generate the normal period values for that month.
This provides a controlled way to bring relevant leases into FMIS without creating values that do not belong in the conversion period. Because the setting affects opening balances and period calculations, it should form part of the agreed data-conversion approach.
What are the new SAML single sign-on options?
Customers using SAML 2.0 can now configure FMIS to restrict users to single sign-on only. Enabling this option removes the username and password fields from the login screen and hides the password field on user records.
Organisations can also remove the standard SSO login button so that FMIS can only be accessed through a URL supplied by a third-party application, such as the organisation’s identity provider. These options support organisations that want authentication to follow their central identity and access policies.
What are the practical benefits of the Lease Accounting update?
- Less time waiting for commonly used reports when working with higher lease volumes.
- More efficient bulk processing for lease imports, adjustments and terminations.
- A defined approach to specific data conversions during company setup or restructuring.
- Greater access control for SAML-based authentication.
Who will benefit from these changes?
The performance changes are most relevant to organisations with larger lease portfolios or regular bulk import requirements. The data-conversion option will be useful in more specific circumstances, particularly during implementation or company restructuring. The access changes will also be relevant to system administrators managing authentication through a central identity platform.
