Asset Leases – Provisioning Total Interest at Lease Creation

Hello Community,

We are using the Asset Leases functionality in Oracle Assets for operating leases. By default, the system calculates and posts interest expense month by month through the Calculate Lease Expense process.

However, our customer's practice is a bit different:

• At the start of the lease, they record in GL a provision for the total interest amount expected over the entire lease term (e.g., 62 months).
• Each month, they then reduce this provision as the lease interest is accrued.

Question: Has anyone else faced this requirement?

• How did you handle provisioning the total interest upfront while still using the standard monthly accrual in Asset Leases?
