3. New and Changed Features in Financials
3.1. Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS)

3.1.1. Overview
Oracle Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS) streamlines the intercompany
trading and reconciliation process across ledgers. Oracle AGIS facilitates balanced
intercompany transactions for the global enterprise by providing a forum for trading
partners to record and approve intercompany transactions in a controlled manner.
Oracle AGIS allows companies to comply not only with local regulations, but also to
follow established corporate standards for processing intercompany transactions between
related legal entities of an enterprise. It also provides interactive reconciliation reporting,
which allows drilldown to the details of Intercompany Account Balances so the source of
discrepancies to the balances of each trading partner’s account balances can be found
quickly.
3.1.2. Release 12.1.2
3.1.2.1. Purge Rejected Intercompany Batches from Interface Table

Oracle AGIS introduces a new Purge Rejected Intercompany Transactions Program to
purge rejected intercompany transaction batches from intercompany interface tables.
Oracle AGIS validates intercompany transaction batches imported from external source
applications. Batches that pass validation become intercompany transactions in AGIS.
Batches that fail validation are retained in the intercompany interface table with a
Rejected status. These rejected intercompany transactions occupy space in the database
and can lead to detrimental impact on system performance. Users can use the new
concurrent program to preview and purge the rejected intercompany transactions.
3.2. Oracle Advanced Collections

3.2.1. Release 12.1.1
3.2.1.1. Customer Dispute Enhancement

Collectors require the ability to record comments while researching transactions and
interacting with customers during the dispute process. A new Internal Comment field is
available on all screens used to submit and manage disputes. This field streamlines the
dispute submission and approval process by allowing collectors to enter and share
comments to internal users such as receivables specialists.
3.2.1.2. Customer Level Bankruptcy

During various stages of a customer’s bankruptcy process their outstanding business
transactions require specialized handling. In prior releases of Advance Collections,
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.Release Content Document 5BOracle Advanced Global Intercompany System (AGIS) 3
individual transactions had to be marked with a Bankruptcy status. Collections agents
can now assign Bankruptcy status at the customer level, ensuring that all transactions in
all accounts and bill to sites are status and managed uniformly.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.0 via the standalone patch:
8522751:R12.IEX.A.
3.2.1.3. Status Assignment at Case and Contract Level

Collectors can now better manage their leasing delinquencies by assigning delinquency
levels including the lease contract, the lease case, or specific transactions.
3.2.2. Release 12.1.2
3.2.2.1. Multiple Level Collections Strategy Management

In prior releases, collections strategies could only be executed at one business (party,
account, bill to site) at a time. Enterprises require the ability to execute strategies
simultaneously at different levels for different customers and operating units, for
example, in one region - at Bill to level, in another region – at Account level. This new
feature allows managers to setup and execute strategies at multiple collection business
levels while allowing collections agents to change specific customer strategies to
different business levels as required.
Collections managers are now able to plan and manage collections strategies that support
their unique business requirements where strategies must be executed at different
operating units, groups of customers or specific customers. Collections agents can view
strategies at different levels on their work queue and on the strategy tab. Delinquent
customers are managed at the business level most appropriate to their business model.
Additionally, background processes including collections and strategy management can

now be executed at different levels concurrently.
3.2.3. Release 12.1.3
3.2.3.1. Staged Dunning

In addition to the Aged Dunning method that is based on a customer’s oldest aged
invoice, Collections organizations may now use Staged Dunning method. The Staged
Dunning method ensures the dunning notices set to a customer automatically incremented
based on the collection score and pre-defined number of days between letters being sent.
3.3. Oracle Assets

3.3.1. Release 12.1.3
3.3.1.1. Asset Impairment for Japan Tax Reform 2007

As defined by previous regulatory initiatives in Japan and the Japan Tax Reform of 2007,
the impairment functionality in Oracle Assets has been extended to perform and account
for asset impairments in compliance with Japanese accounting regulations. Impairment
losses can now be derived and recorded for Japan-specific depreciation methods.
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.Release Content Document 7BOracle Assets 4

The following impairment feature functionality is now available for Japan depreciation
methods.
• Japan specific impairment loss calculations
• Assignment and impairment of assets within Cash Generating Units
• Impairment of fully reserve and non-depreciating assets
• Impairment of assets exceeding depreciation limits
3.4. Oracle Cash Management

3.4.1. Release 12.1.1
3.4.1.1. International Bank Account Number (IBAN) Support

International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an international standard for identifying
bank accounts across national borders in a way that would minimize the risk of
propagating transaction errors. Cash Management now validates IBAN at the time of
recording bank account details. This validation is based on standard Modulo-97 checks.
This feature has also been back-ported to 12.0.6 via the standalone patch:
7552541:R12.IBY.A.
3.4.1.2. Bank Identifier Code (BIC) Support

Bank Identifier Code (BIC) is a unique identification for bank branches. This code can
be 8 or 11 characters in length. Cash Management now validates the length of BIC when
recording bank branch details.
7552541:R12.IBY.A.
3.4.1.3. Payment Group based Bank Statement Reconciliation

Oracle Cash Management now utilizes the new Payment Group Number attribute as an
optional matching criterion for manual and automated reconciliation of bank statements.
7552541:R12.IBY.A.
3.4.2. Release 12.1.2
3.4.2.1. Option to Override Country-Specific Validation for Bank Accounts

Sometimes legacy bank account numbers do not conform to modern country-specific
validation rules. Users can now disable the default country-specific bank validations to
migrate legacy bank account information.
This feature has also been back-ported to following releases:

12.1.1 8871846:R12.CE.B
3.4.2.2. EDIFACT Bank Statement Format Update

The bank statement loader program supports EDIFACT statements. With this release, the
following additional data processing features are addressed:
• Support for non-numeric characters in bank balances. The opening and closing
balance amounts sent in the EDIFACT statements contain non-numeric
characters. The bank statement loader and import program is enhanced to
convert the non-numeric characters into numeric values.
• Support loading and importing the Record 05. The current seeded loader is
enhanced to handle the record type 05. This additional record is defined as part
of the EDIFACT standard and contains the contextual information of Record 04.
This feature been back-ported to following releases:
12.0.4 8874185:R12.CE.A
12.1.1 8942035:R12.CE.B
3.4.2.3. Copy Bank Transaction Codes

Bank transaction codes are used by banks to identify the types of transactions on bank
statements. The codes are set up for each bank account for reconciliation purposes. For
organizations having several bank accounts, it can be a cumbersome process to manually
setup these transaction codes since most bank accounts for a specific bank use the same
transaction codes.
A new concurrent program has been provided to copy the bank transaction codes from
one bank account to another bank account(s).
3.4.2.4. Load Bank Statements for the Current Day

In previous releases, users could only import bank statements and perform bank balance
maintenance for past dates. Users can now enter or import bank statements and perform
bank balance maintenance for the current date.

12.0.6 8965556:R12.CE.A
12.1.1 9090829:R12.CE.B
3.4.1. Release 12.1.3

manually enter cash flows into their cash positions allowing for greater flexibility in their
decision making process.

requirement whereby all legal organizations must provide customer and supplier listings
in electronic format to the Italian fiscal authorities on a yearly basis.
The Italian supplier and customer listing reports available in prior releases are now
replaced with new Italian Customer and Supplier Listing data extracts.

3.7. Oracle Financials for India
3.7.1. Release 12.1.1
3.7.1.1. Fringe Benefit Tax Support

Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) was introduced in India as part of Budget 2005-2006, to tax
specific employee expenses not treated as individual income.
Oracle Financials for India enables computation, payment, tracking, and statutory
reporting of Fringe Benefit Taxes on non-payroll expenses.
3.7.1.2. Inclusive Tax Support

Oracle Financials for India now supports the setup, calculation, accounting and reporting
of inclusive taxes for payables and receivable transactions.
3.7.1.3. Retroactive Pricing Support

In order to accurately reflect payable obligations, it is necessary to propagate retroactive
price modifications on blanket agreements to downstream documents such as releases and
standard purchasing orders.

3.11. Oracle Loans
3.11.1. Release 12.1.2
3.11.1.1. Process Application Fees without Loan Approval

Loan application fee is a fee charged to process an application for a loan, such as a home
mortgage from a lender or mortgage broker. Loan application fees are charged to cover
some of the costs involved in processing the application including credit checks, property
appraisals and basic administrative costs. Such fees are often non-refundable regardless
of the outcome of the application review and are charged upfront.
Previously, in order for any loan fee to be processed, the loan application had to be
approved. This new feature allows processing and accounting for loan fees before the
loan gets approved or rejected.
The fees now can be charged manually on an ad hoc basis or automatically based on a
certain event in the loan application lifecycle (loan origination, loan activation, loan
submission for approval).
3.11.1.2. Ad-hoc Billing and Receipt Application

Borrowers receive their loan repayment bills when an automated process determines that
the next installment is due. This new feature allows users to manually select the next
installment and create a customer bill on an ad hoc basis. Users now also have an option
to create a loan without a schedule of installments and bill customers manually on an ad
hoc basis.
In addition, the process of applying customer payments to loans has been streamlined by
providing users an option to perform receipt application within the loan transaction
context, without the need to switch to Receivables.
A new system profile option (LNS: Allow to Bill and Apply from UI) has been
introduced to control user’s access to this feature.
3.11.1.3. Loan Forgiveness

The Loan Forgiveness feature allows users to create and manage loan forgiveness option
loan programs. By populating a Receivables Activity in the new system option Loan
Forgiveness Adjustment: Activity Name, loan forgiveness is enabled or disabled for the
loan products within the organization.
Loan forgiveness is applied at the individual loan level as a percentage of the loan
installment amount and can be modified throughout the loan’s duration. Loan
forgiveness details are visible for each individual loan via the Servicing Center:
Overview: Summary window. During billing, the forgiven amount is displayed and
accounted for as an adjustment on the customer invoice.
3.11.2. Release 12.1.3
3.11.2.1. Multiple Disbursements during Loan Servicing

In prior releases, direct loans could only be adjusted using multiple disbursements with
disbursement amount, percentage and a specific target date freeze before the approval,
activation or funding of the loan. Now, loan managers can perform adjustments to the
loan amount in active and multiple disbursements of the loan after the loan is activated,
funded or in the servicing stage.
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.Release Content Document 15BOracle Loans 12

Additionally, for Extended Repayment Schedule (ERS) loans, loan managers can now
add and convert additional receivables transactions to existing loans in the servicing
stage. Managers can also modify the outstanding amount of receivables or adjust the
receivables amount based on the payment terms.
3.12. Oracle Payables

3.12.1. Release 12.1.1
3.12.1.1. Enhanced Withholding Tax Calculation for Brazil

Brazilian tax regulations require withholding taxes to be deducted at multiple business
event points such as recording and payment of invoices.
In prior releases, withholding tax was deducted either during validation or payment of
invoices. Oracle Payables has been enhanced to allow application of withholding taxes
both during invoice validation and payment.
3.12.1.2. Discount Calculation Enhancements

Suppliers offer discounts for early payment. Early payment discounts can be fixed
monetary amounts or calculated on a percentage basis.
In prior releases, discounts could be defined in percentage terms only. Oracle Payables
now allows discounts to be specified in monetary amounts. When a percentage as well as
an amount is available, the higher or lower of the two can be specified for application.
3.12.1.3. Subcontractor Management for Engineering and Construction

Oracle Payables has been enhanced to automatically apply holds on supplier invoices
when the Pay When Paid or the PO Deliverable Control option is enabled on purchase
orders. During invoice validation, such holds are automatically released provided
authorizations have been recorded within Oracle Project Accounting or Oracle
Purchasing.
3.12.1.4. Supplier Dispute Processing

Supplier invoices may be short paid to expedite dispute settlements. The Payables
Invoice Workbench has been enhanced to capture the invoice amount originally claimed
by the supplier and the reason for short payment.
3.12.1.5. Third Party Payments

Suppliers can specify a related trading partner to be paid on their behalf. The payments
made on behalf of suppliers to other trading partners are termed as third party payments.

3.12.2. Release 12.1.2
3.12.2.1. Replace Supplier Bank Accounts on Invoices

In today’s business environment, it is a common practice to change bank accounts. If
suppliers change their bank accounts, Oracle Payables can now automatically update all
unpaid and partially paid invoices with the new bank account information. When users
end date an existing supplier bank account and provide a new active bank account, Oracle
Payables will automatically update the remit-to bank account information on unpaid and
partially paid invoices. This streamlines transaction processing and prevents the need to
update each invoice manually.
This feature has been back-ported to 12.1.1 via the standalone patches:
6867725:R12.AP.B and 6615694:R12.IBY.B.
3.12.2.2. Change Taxes from Inclusive to Exclusive Online

The tax regulations in many countries require that certain types of taxes on invoices be
applied as inclusive or exclusive to the price of the good or service. This is common in
countries that report VAT, such as in the United Kingdom, where the VAT tax can be
treated as inclusive or exclusive depending on the type or price of the good or service.
Oracle Payables provides the flexibility to override the inclusive or exclusive nature of
taxes that default from the eBTax setup. While entering an invoice, users can change
taxes from inclusive to exclusive or vice versa to match the tax shown on the physical
invoice. This ensures more accurate invoice entry and tax reporting.
3.13. Oracle Payments

3.13.3. Release 12.1.2
3.13.3.1. PA-DSS for Credit Card Processing

To ensure all payment type applications that interact with payment cards meet consistent
security standards, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council
encourages and in some cases mandates that merchants use only PA-DSS (Payment
Application Data Security Standards) certified payment application software.
Certification applies to software applications that store, process, or transmit payment

cardholder data as part of an authorization or settlement process. This certification
reassures users that Oracle Payments is properly handling and securing sensitive payment
card information. Certification includes proper adherence with industry accepted data
storage guidelines, encryption algorithms, secured coding practices, and secured
transmission standards.
Oracle Payments customers benefit from the ongoing enhancements made to conform to
PA-DSS requirements. These PA-DSS enhancements are also available as standalone
patches to customers on Release 12.0 and 12.1.1.

3.14. Oracle Profitability Manager
3.14.1. Overview
Oracle Profitability Manager provides enterprises with a greater insight into the
profitability of current operations and empowers them with actionable information for
making decisions and driving improved profitability. As part of Oracle’s Corporate
Performance Management (CPM) suite, Oracle Profitability Manager is a comprehensive
solution for the calculation, analysis and reporting of profitability.
Oracle Profitability Manager was first released with Release 12. It is the integration of
two existing applications:
• Oracle Performance Analyzer (part of the Oracle Financial Services suite)
• Oracle Activity-Based Management (part of the E-Business Suite)
In Release 12.0, major emphasis was placed on maintaining all the industry leading
features and functions available in earlier versions of the Financial Services Applications
(OFSA), while simultaneously leveraging the power of the Oracle E-Business Suite. The
Profitability Manager application broadens the industry appeal of profitability analytics,
and repeats the success the legacy products had beyond financial services enterprises.
3.14.2. Release 12.1.1
3.14.2.1. Identification of Business Rules that Reference Disabled/Inactive

Dimension Members
Users manage metadata as a standard business process related to the construction and
maintenance of business rules with the Profitability Manager application. Over time,
users make changes to metadata like hierarchies and dimension members, and in some
cases "disable" dimension members to indicate that they are no longer active or no longer
used as part of the profitability calculations. A good example of this would be when a
company reorganizes, and some departments are transferred, combined or eliminated. In
this example, data for those "old" departments would not be used in future models.
To help the user understand how these metadata changes affect their profitability models,
a new feature is introduced which indicates where disabled dimension members are used
in mapping rules, or in hierarchies. Users are provided a concurrent program that will
scan a set of business rules, and write out the results to tables that can be used for
reporting with the tool of the user's choice. In addition, a purge routine has also been
provided that allows the user to clean up data from previous runs.

3.19.3.1. Argentina: Turnover Tax Withholding/Perception Regimes

The Tax Authority of Buenos Aires province has determined through regulations DN
70/07 and DN 74/07, that tax rates for its Turnover Withholding and Turnover Perception
regimes would be defined per individual contributors (i.e. taxpayer id), therefore
modifying existing withholding and perception tax rate determination, which was a
general rate applicable for all taxpayers.
Each Perception agent (i.e. seller) and Withholding agent (i.e. buyer) will be required to
download from the tax authority’s website a monthly flat file with applicable tax rate
information for each contributor (taxpayer id).
In this release, Oracle Financials for Latin America provides new and enhanced
functionality to enable its customers to upload the government’s monthly data file and
update the corresponding tax assignments per taxpayer id (i.e. Withholding rates for
suppliers in Oracle Payables and Perception rates for customers in Oracle Receivables)
and ultimately calculate proper withholding and perception taxes on Payments and
Receivables transactions, thus complying with the current legal regulations.
The following functionality is provided:

been enhanced to handle multiple companies.
The Japan Depreciable Assets Tax Report contains the following modifications:
• Users can specify information for multiple companies linked to specified

asset book(s).
• Additional reference information is enterable in the report.
• The report layout format conforms to the legal standard.

amounts. The Standard requires entities to carry out impairment tests for all their
tangible and intangible assets, other than assets in certain specified categories (e.g.
inventories, construction contract assets, financial assets and non-current assets classified
as held for sale). IAS 36 requires companies to measure an asset's recoverable amount
(the higher of the asset's or cash generating unit's fair value, less costs to sell, and its
value in use) and compare it to the book value. Oracle Assets now calculates and
generates asset impairments and the appropriate General Ledger journals in accordance
with IAS 36 guidelines.

4. New and Changed Features in Real Estate Management
4.1. Oracle Property Manager

4.1.1. Overview
Oracle Property Manager is the cornerstone of the real estate management solution
provided by Oracle. Whether you are a corporate, commercial, or retail operation, Oracle
Property Manager provides a comprehensive solution for managing your real estate
portfolio efficiently. Oracle Property Manager streamlines space management and lease
administration, and maximizes the value of your real estate by:
• Reducing costs and identifying new revenue opportunities
• Minimizing contractual and financial risk
• Providing data transparency
4.1.2. Release 12.1.1 Leasing Features
4.1.2.1. New Lease Statuses

Two new statuses have been introduced for leases. The new statuses are ‘Lease Ordered’
and ‘Signed’. These statuses are available when the lease approval status is ‘Draft.’
When a lease has a status of Lease Ordered or Signed, schedules and items are created for
any one-time payments. This allows users to create invoices or make payments from the
lease, for terms with frequency of one-time only, before the lease is finalized. Users can
use this new functionality for deposits or other payments that may be required before a
lease is finalized.
4.1.2.2. Lease Extension Enhancements

When the status is changed to Month-to-Month or Holdover and an extension date
entered, the following things will now be done automatically:
• Recurring payment terms that end on the lease termination date will be extended
to the new extension date.
• Users can choose to have variable rent and rent increase agreements extended.
This is described further in the sections on Variable Rent and Rent Increase
enhancements.
• Extensions of terms and agreements can be rolled forward month by month using
a new concurrent process.
• The system extends existing normalized payment terms differently depending on
the lease status. If the user changes the status from Active to Month-to-Month or
Holdover, the system extends a normalized payment term ending on the old lease
termination or extension date by adding a new non-normalized term rather than
by changing the end date of the existing term. If the lease is later placed back in
Active status, the term will be extended by addition of a new normalized term
beginning on the amendment commencement date.
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.Release Content Document 24BOracle Property Manager 35
4.1.2.3. Tenancy Extension and Contraction
When the user extends or contracts a lease, tenancy records (records on the locations tab
of the lease) will be extended or contracted as well, as appropriate.
4.1.2.4. Assignment Occupancy Percent Determined by Attribute on Tenancy

A new field on the lease locations (tenancy) tab, Assigned % Area: determines the %
Area value on the Customer Assignment, that is, it will determine what percentage of the
location area is occupied by that customer. The default will be 100%
4.1.2.5. Multiple Schedules for Same Schedule Day

Oracle Property Manager can create a new draft schedule, if needed, for a date with an
existing approved schedule. This means you can create a new term with the desired
schedule day in all cases
4.1.2.6. Prorating the Billing/Payment Amount based on a New Start Day Field
A new field has been added to the Lease form to capture the Year Start Date for
Prorating. Based on this field, the Schedule Start Date is determined considering the
period in which the Term Start Date falls into.
4.1.3. Release 12.1.1 Variable Rent Features
4.1.3.1. Breakpoint Flexibility

Complete flexibility in setting up line items and breakpoint definitions has been
introduced. With this feature, users can:
• Set up complex agreements with changes to breakpoints, rates, breakpoint types,

line items, etc., occurring on any date, any number of times over the span of the
lease.
• Enter line item and breakpoint details with any start and end date, not restricted
to sales year start and end dates.
4.1.3.2. Updating Breakpoints

Users can now change breakpoint definitions at any time, regardless of whether variable
rent has been calculated and approved. To respond to amendments or to correct data,
users can change most parts of a variable rent agreement. If the changes affect rent that
has been approved, the application will create adjusting terms.
4.1.3.3. Natural Breakpoint Enhancements

When the terms that form the basis for a natural breakpoint change, whether because of a
rent increase or because a user added or ended a term, the system now automatically
recalculates the natural breakpoints. The user can recalculate the variable rent; and if the
changes affect rent that has been approved, the application will create adjusting terms.
Users now select terms to form the basis for natural breakpoints using a new attribute on
the term, allowing complete control over which terms are to be included.
Users can now have rent increases, selectively, included in the natural breakpoint basis as
the increases are assessed.
4.1.3.4. Early Termination of Agreement or Lease

The user can now end variable rent agreements as of any date, either directly or by
terminating a lease. The system will perform any recalculations necessary if variable rent
has already been paid for affected periods and will create adjusting and/or reversing
terms.
4.1.3.5. Extension of Variable Rent Agreements

The user can now extend the length of variable rent agreements, or have the system
extend the agreement automatically when a lease is extended. The user also chooses
whether to have the system automatically extend the latest breakpoint definitions when
the agreement is extended or to manually enter the breakpoint definition detail for the
extension period.
4.1.3.6. New Calculation Methods

Two new calculation methods have been introduced for Variable Rent.
• Year-to-Date. The system determines overage by comparing the cumulative

breakpoint with the cumulative sales (or other volume).
• True Up. The system calculates variable rent periodically through the year with a
non-cumulative method and then does a True Up calculation at the end of the
year (or other appropriate period).
4.1.3.7. New Partial Year Calculation Methods

Several new methods (in addition to the existing Standard Proration) have been
introduced to calculate variable rent in partial years at the beginning or end of an
agreement.
• First Year. A partial first year variable rent is calculated based on the first 12
months of sales, effectively using some sales from the second year as proxy for
the missing months in the first year. The resulting rent is prorated based on the
actual length of the first partial year.
• Last Year. This is the equivalent of the First Year method, applied to partial last
years.
• First Year / Last Year. If this Partial Year Method is selected, both the First Year
and Last Year methods will be applied.
• Combined Year with Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined
with the second year. For cumulative and year-to-date methods, breakpoints and
volumes continue to accumulate for more than 12 months. The breakpoints are
effectively ‘annualized’ because the period of breakpoint accumulation matches
the period of volume accumulation.
• Combined Year without Breakpoint Proration. The first partial year is combined
with the second year. A blended annual breakpoint is calculated for the
combined period, converted to a 12-month value. This is used as the basis for
breakpoints for all methods. Since the combined year is longer than 12 months,
and the sales are accumulated for that longer period, the breakpoint accumulation
is not matched to the volume accumulation and the breakpoint is not, in effect,
annualized.
• No Proration. The breakpoints are used as entered, without proration. There is

no interaction or combination between values in the first partial year and the
second year.
4.1.3.8. Month-to-Month Roll Forward of Variable Rent Agreements

If a lease is in Month-to-Month status, the user can choose to automatically extend the
variable rent agreement with each monthly roll-forward of the Month-to-Month
extension.
4.1.3.9. Enhancement to Cumulative Calculation Method

When the overage rate for calculation of variable rent changes mid-year, accumulation of
volume recommences. Breakpoints are prorated to the length of the ‘cumulative cycle’
determined by sales year end dates or rate changes.
4.1.3.10. Allowances and Abatements

There are a number of enhancements related to allowances and abatements. Users can:
• Create multiple allowances with effective dates.
• Specify whether allowances or abatements are to be applied first.
• Select terms for recurring abatement at the time that agreements are created.
• Roll forward recurring abatement selections automatically and have the system
apply abatements automatically as part of the variable rent calculation process.
• Enter amounts for ‘Fixed Abatement.’ This is a new type of abatement. A fixed
abatement is an amount entered by the user to be applied as abatement for each
invoice period, much like the system applies the amount of recurring abatement
terms each invoice period.
4.1.3.11. Carry Forward of Excess Abatement as Negative Rent

Users can now control through an agreement parameter whether excess abatement
amounts are treated as negative rent.
4.1.3.12. Constraints
Users can now set start and end dates for constraints for the life of the agreement rather
than setting them up for each year.
4.1.3.13. Updating Volumes

Users can now update previously entered volume amounts through the Variable Rent
Gateway, where previously the only way to do an adjustment was by entering an
additional volume record (with a positive or negative adjusting amount).
4.1.3.14. Additional Frequency Attribute
The attribute called ‘Reporting Frequency’ in previous functionality determined two
different frequencies, which sometimes should have had different values. This attribute
has been split into two attributes:
• Calculation Frequency. The frequency with which variable rent is calculated.

This was the primary purpose of the former ‘Reporting Frequency.’
• Reporting Frequency. The frequency with which the tenant is required to report
volumes. This frequency does not affect calculations but does affect the logic by
which the Variable Rent Gateway creates default volume entry rows.
4.1.3.15. Streamlining of Adjustments

Users can now recalculate variable rent at any time, to accommodate for changed volume,
breakpoints or other factors. The system will create adjusting terms if necessary. There
is no longer a separate adjustment process.
4.1.3.16. Form Enhancements

There have been many enhancements to layouts and navigation, decreasing the number of
screens and improving usability.
• A number of multi-row views have been converted to folder blocks to allow for
user configuration.
• Drilldowns have been added between the invoice review screen and the line item
review screen.
• Multi-row views have been combined on a single screen with a master-detail

relationship to reduce the number of screens and present information in a more
intuitive layout.
4.1.3.17. Display of Calculation Results

Users can review in detail, on-screen, the calculation that resulted in the variable rent
amount, regardless of which method is used for the agreement.
4.1.3.18. Variable Rent Templates

Users may select a variable rent template to populate many of the attributes of a variable
rent agreement. This reduces data entry effort and error.
4.1.3.19. Term Template Enhancements

Users can now create, edit and save term templates from within the variable rent
agreement. Now, users can maintain a relatively small number of generic term templates
to use as the starting point for term detail defaults for variable rent agreements. The user
will select a generic term template then, if necessary, make a copy with changes specific
to the agreement.
4.1.3.20. Processing by Property
Property has been added as a parameter to the concurrent process for calculation of
variable rent so that users can now select agreements by property for batch calculation.
4.1.3.21. Improved Variable Rent Report

An improved report has been introduced for reporting calculated variable rent.
4.1.4. Release 12.1.1 Index Rent Features
4.1.4.1. Early Termination of Rent Increase Agreements

The user can now end rent increase agreements as of any date, either directly or by
terminating a lease. The system will create adjusting and/or reversing items as necessary.
4.1.4.2. Extension of Rent Increase Agreements

The user can now extend the length of rent increase agreements, or have the system
extend the agreement automatically when a lease is extended.
4.1.4.3. Month-to-Month Roll Forward

If a lease is in Month-to-Month status, the user can choose to automatically extend the
rent increase agreement with each monthly roll-forward of the Month-to-Month
extension.
4.1.4.4. Index Multiplier

Users can now specify a multiplier to be applied for rent increases based on an index
value. The amount specified is multiplied times the calculated change in the index
amount and the rent is changed by the resulting value rather than by the actual index
change percentage.
4.1.4.5. Proration
The system will now prorate constraints on rent increase for partial years.
4.1.4.6. Term Length

One compounding rent increase calculation method has been changed so that rent
increase terms are created only for the length of the assessment period rather than to the
end of the lease. This is appropriate for this method so that users now do not need to
manually change the term lengths.
4.1.4.7. Include/Exclude Option

A system option has been introduced that controls how terms are selected to form the
basis for rent increases. With previous functionality, all terms of the selected type were
selected by default for inclusion and users would deselect terms as appropriate. An
organization now can choose whether terms are included or excluded by default. Users
will still have complete control at the individual agreement level.
4.1.4.8. Recurring Backbill Terms
An option has been introduced that controls whether backbill terms are created as one-
time terms or as recurring terms. If they are created as recurring terms, the transaction
date for all resulting schedules is set to the same date, which is the date that the term was
approved.
4.1.4.9. Rent Increase Report

An improved report has been introduced for reporting calculated rent increases.
4.1.5. Release 12.1.1 Operating Expenses Features
This major new feature allows tenants to record in detail the lease clauses governing
payment of operating expense reimbursements or recoveries (also known as common area
maintenance expenses, etc.) to landlords. It also supports creating and changing
estimated payment terms and periodic reconciliations.
4.1.5.1. Create Operating Expense Agreement

Users can create an operating expense agreement for any lease clause governing the
payment of rent based on landlord operating costs or common area maintenance costs.
The agreement captures the key aspects of these agreements in a structured way that
enables consistent recording of agreements across the portfolio and also supports the
consistent and accurate reconciliation and ‘desktop audit’ of landlord reconciliation
statements. Aspects of agreements that can be recorded in a structured way include:
• All common ways of determining the pro rata basis for expense recovery, such as
occupied area with floor
• Multiple pro rata bases within a single agreement
• Administration fees and anchor contributions
• Rules governing recovery of different expense groups or pools, within a single

agreement, such as whether a type of expense is subject to fees or cap
• All common methods for calculating caps and minimums
• Different reconciliation frequencies
• Whether rent is subject to tax
• Stop amounts
• How reconciliation credits can be applied
• Standard expense group naming, for cross-portfolio comparisons
• Critical date rules, such as audit period and statement and payment due dates
• Extensive notes, by category
4.1.5.2. Enter and Maintain Estimated Payment Terms
If the agreement requires the tenant to make estimated payments based on landlord
budgets, the user can create the payment term through the Operating Expense Agreement.
Estimated payment amounts are often adjusted by landlords annually or at other intervals.
The user can enter new amounts through the Agreement and the system will create the
appropriate term, including a catch-up term if needed. A history of the changing amount
is thus captured and displayed, with percent change.
4.1.5.3. Reconciliation
Reconciliation is created for each agreement for each reconciliation period. The user can
record information from the landlord reconciliation statement and use the reconciliation
screens as a ‘workbench’ for doing a desktop audit of the reconciliation statement.
Features include:
• Key entry, from the landlord reconciliation statement, of information not

available to the user from other sources, such as actual landlord expenses.
o Optional entry of the same items, in an ‘Expected’ column, if the user

has information that conflicts with the values presented by the landlord.
• Presentation by the system of information that is known based on the Operating

Expense Agreement, previous payments, and prior reconciliations, such as
calculated cap amount, agreement fee percentage and amount already paid as
estimated payments.
o Optional entry of the same items in the ‘Statement’ column, if the

amounts on the landlord statement are not the same as expected.
• Detailed presentation of the operating expense obligation calculation, in side-by-

side layout, showing the values from the landlord statement next to the values
expected by the user. The calculation includes caps, fees, contributions,
occupancy adjustments and stops, pro rata share calculation, and prior payment
amounts.
• Presentations of the percent change over the prior period for each expense group,
the total landlord expense, and the tenant share of expenses.
• Printable version of the detailed reconciliation analysis with side-by-side

comparison.
• Simple creation of reconciliation payment term based on the bottom line of the
reconciliation analysis, or simply the payment due amount on the landlord
reconciliation statement.
• Flexible expense year dates, or reconciliation period dates, so that reconciliations

can be done at irregular intervals if needed.
• Reconciliation notes and direct access to notes related to the agreement and to
prior reconciliations.
• Maintenance of critical dates specific to each reconciliation, such as audit period

end date.
• Tracking of reconciliation and audit status, and users responsible for each.
• Preservation of prior versions of a single reconciliation.
4.1.5.4. Operating Expense Agreement Dashboard

A dashboard presents agreements, reconciliations, and related payment terms that are
likely to need attention, based on user-configurable selection criteria. The dashboard also
has advanced query capability for searching for agreements, reconciliations and/or
payment terms.
Users can select existing objects for view or update, or can initiate creation of new
agreements, reconciliations or payment terms from the dashboard.
