Field Value
Option Type OPTION TO BUY
Date Exercising Applicable Enter the date the buy-out option will be executed and the cost of the option will be paid.
Is reasonably certain?

Yes

If an option "is reasonably certain" to be exercised, mark it as such. If you change an option, and the lease is already has a workflow status of "Submitted for Approval" or "Approved", then the Lease Classification Wizard will capture your comments on the change for the audit log, log the change, and flag the lease for Re-evaluation.

Cost - Estimated Enter the estimated cost of the option. Since this is a one-time cost, you can record it in the Options record. See Concept: Lease Costs and Option Costs.
  1. Load the Real Estate Portfolio Management / Lease Administration / Lease Portfolio / Lease Classification Wizard, and work through its options, changing the Pending statuses and updating any other information.
  2. The Wizard examines the Costs and Option Costs and generates the amortization schedule.
  3. You can review the option on the Step 3 tab.
