July 23, 2026| Product: Sage Intacct Lease Accounting
DESCRIPTION
LA 1.8 is a major release delivering four headline features—expanded Payment Schedule Transaction types, ROU Asset Residual Value, Partial Tax Exemptions, and a complete rebuild of the reporting suite—alongside a full user interface framework upgrade, significant performance improvements, and more than 90 bug fixes across the application.
RELEASE NOTES
New features
Payment Schedule Transaction Types
Leases can now generate payment transactions through multiple channels beyond the original AP Bill:
GL – GL Journal — post payments directly as GL Journal entries
Cash Management – Credit Card — create credit card charge transactions
Cash Management – Manual Payment — record manual cash payments
Purchasing – Transaction Definition — generate purchasing transactions (PO Documents)
Configuration flows through Lease Class → Lease → Payment Schedule. Each transaction type includes full schedule job and catch-up support, and the Lease Import Center has been updated to accept the new transaction types.
ROU Asset Residual Value
Residual value can now be defined at the Lease Class level (as a percentage) and inherited or overridden at the Lease level. Highlights:
Residual percentage configured on the Lease Class flows down to new leases
Depreciation methods updated to factor in residual value
ROU schedules reflect adjusted depreciation amounts
Residual value is preserved and recalculated through revaluation events
Import support for the new residual value fields
Partial Tax Exemptions (Reclaimable VAT)
For jurisdictions with partially-reclaimable VAT, a new Reclaimable field allows specifying the percentage of tax that can be recovered. Only the non-reclaimable portion is included in lease valuation, impacting LL and ROU calculations. The feature applies to lease creation, editing, imports, and revaluation.
New Reports
Five core reports have been completely rebuilt in our latest architecture, replacing the legacy platform reports:
Lease Liability Balance Report
ROU Asset Balance Report
Lease Expense Report replaces Interest Expense Report & Depreciation Expense Report
Lease Payments Report
All reports include configurable prompts/filters (date ranges, Lease Group, Lease Class, etc.), drill-in capability, and consistent column layouts.
Enhancements
View Lease — New Transactions Tab
The legacy "GL Batches" tab has been replaced with a comprehensive Transactions tab that displays all generated transactions—GL Journal Entries, AP Bills, Credit Card charges, Cash Management payments, and Purchasing documents—in organized sub-sections with hyperlinks back to Intacct records.
View Lease — Refreshed Header & Workflow Controls
Next-step workflow actions surfaced contextually based on status. The anticipated next step in the Lease creation or change workflows are displayed prominently as a button at every step of the way.
Tabs disabled/enabled dynamically based on Workflow and Change statuses for less confusing (and faster) page loads
Additional Workflow Statuses
New granular workflow statuses improve visibility into lease processing state and enable better tab optimization and user guidance throughout the lease lifecycle.
Performance & Data Architecture
View Lease now uses an improved data architecture that reduces the volume of Intacct API calls and significantly reducing page load times.
Terminology Updates
"GL Batch" → GL Journal Entries throughout the application
"Charge Card" → Credit Card across UI and imports
Gateway User Validation
The Validate Gateway User popup in Lease Config has been redesigned with a clearer layout, updated validation logic, and improved messaging.
GL Journal Reference Improvements
GL Journal entries for Place in Service / Place Back in Service now reference the Lease Name instead of Lease ID
AP Bills now populate Reference Number and Description fields
GL Batch dropdown removed from LL/ROU schedule entry forms (auto-linked)
Payment Schedule Processing
Schedule jobs now check which entities need processing before running, reducing unnecessary work
"Transaction Type = None" marks payments as Posted without linking to any external transaction
Catch-up logic extended to all new transaction types
Negative Tax Rates Removed
Validation now rejects negative tax rates at both the UI and import levels, preventing invalid tax configurations. Tax values are expected to have the same sign as Taxable Amounts.
Default LL-to-ROU Adjustment
New leases now default the LL-to-ROU Adjustment Amount to 0.00 on creation, reducing manual entry for the most common case.
Current Portion GL Journals
Current/Non-Current reclassification GL Journals are now posted as draft, giving accountants a review step before final posting.
Bug Fixes
Key areas addressed:
Schedule generation reliability — fixed scenarios where LL/ROU schedules could lose the last batch of operations, or leases could get stuck in generation states
Revaluation correctness — catch-up debits/credits no longer swapped after termination or revaluation with change dates before last posting; ROU depreciation properly updated when residual percentage changes
Disclosure Report accuracy — Future Maturity section no longer includes leases starting after the report end date; interest amounts corrected
Import fixes — resolved infinite loop on file upload, corrected template descriptions, improved validation for transaction types and tax fields
View Lease stability — fixed blank pages, permission errors, missing data on various tabs, and spinner issues
Transaction posting — corrected GL Journal creation for Current Portion, fixed missing AP Bills and Credit Card transactions, resolved catch-up failures for non-AP transaction types
Multi-entity & location — fixed GL Account Type location constraints and credit card entity validation
UI polish — scroll bar issues, popup sizing, calendar picker styling, tooltip gaps, date format consistency, and field spacing
KNOWN ISSUES
When using Transaction Allocations in conjunction with advanced Tax options (VAT/GST), the Accounts Payable module currently prohibits the creation of AP Bills with Allocations specified on their lines. In instances where Lease Accounting is used to create AP Bills, this limitation is inherited by Lease Accounting and will disappear once the feature is changed in Accounts Payable.
Leases in multiple currencies are accommodated, with the limitation that the currency of lease payments has to be in the base currency of the entity in which it is accounted for.
If the Lease Liability Balance Report, ROU Asset Balance Report, Payments Report or Expense Report is missing after the upgrade to 1.8, an administrator needs to provide the users access to them.
APPLIES TO
The release will be automatically deployed to all existing instances in a staggered fashion starting July 23rd, 2026.

Multi-Tax for Lease Accounting

Lease Accounting Release V1.2
April 25, 2024 | Product: Sage Intacct Lease Accounting
DESCRIPTION
The V1.2 release includes the following new features and improvements. Application implementation and setup procedures remain unchanged.
New Features
Ability to Enable/Disable Creation of GL Batch When Putting Lease in Service
A new setting, "Suppress GL Journal Creation from Lease functions" was added which allows a user to enable or disable the creation of GL Batches when putting a lease in service. The default setting for this is disabled.
Date Fields and New Reports
The Day, Month, and Year columns have been added to the Lease and Asset Schedules within Lease Accounting. In addition to these new columns, 5 new reports have been added to the lease accounting Module:
Lease Payment Report: This report shows the Lease Payments received for leases.
Depreciation Expense Report: This report shows the Accumulated Depreciation for a specified period and links to the related entries.
Interest Expense Report: This report shows the accrued interest for a period and links to the related entries.
Liability Balance Report: This report provides the liability balance for a given period, as well as any related entries.
RoU Asset Balance: This report provides the RoU Asset balance for a given period, as well as any related entries.
Mass update lease status
A new Mass Update feature has been added to the Generate Payment Schedules, Generate Lease & RoU Schedules, and Put Leases into Service pages. Users can now update the status of multiple leases at the same time. This makes it easier to move multiple leases from Created to In Service, especially during the initial implementation phase.
Improvements
Streamlined provisioning
Provisioning Lease Accounting just got easier with the addition of the Validate Gateway button. When a user selects this button, we run a validation to test the XML Gateway User Credentials and the existence of the Serrera and AJAX sender IDs. This confirms that the XML user has the proper permissions and credentials to run Lease Accounting, which prevents users from receiving any provisioning errors.
Renaming dimensions
If a user renames any of the standard or user-defined dimensions in Sage Intacct, the new names will now be reflected on the Lease Group pages.
Note: This does not apply to the Vendor dimension. If the Vendor dimension is renamed, it will still be called “Vendor” in Lease Accounting.
Add the Scheduled Date Fields
Added the Day, Month, and Year columns to the schedules. This allows for the date fields to be utilized in custom reports.
Mass generate Schedules
Added a "Mass Update" function to Generate Payment Schedules, Generate Lease & RoU Schedules, and Put Leases into Service.
KNOWN ISSUES
N/A

New Features

Lease Accounting Audit Log
An audit log has been added to Lease Accounting. The log is located within the Lease Accounting Configuration page.
Estimated Useful Life on Lease Record
A new field has been added to a lease that allows a user to enter an Estimated Useful Life specific to that lease. This field will override the default Useful life from the Lease Class.
Add Payment Frequency “Import” During Lease Creation
When Creating a Lease, allow a Payment Frequency of "Import" as a value. When a Lease with an "Import" Payment Frequency is Saved, the Total Lease Payment Value is not required and is set to 0.00. The Lease is created in the status “Payment Schedules Generated” which allows a user to import Payment Schedules.
Improvements
Allow Save or Import of Lease records with Custom Payment Frequency with no Payment Schedule Entries
When creating or importing Lease records with the intent of importing its Payment Schedules, the process has been improved to allow a user to save Lease records with Custom Payment Frequency and put the lease in Payment Schedules Created status without any related Payment Schedule Entries.
Add the ability to add Lease Classes and Lease Groups from within a Lease
When editing a lease, a user can now add a new Lease Class or Lease Group from the Lease Class and Lease Group drop-down field.
GL Batch record number vs GL Batch transaction number
Update the display value of GL Batch in the list views to be the GL Batch Transaction Number instead of the Record Number.
