Conclusion

The functionality in 4.6c is quite good, but limited. You can only enter one payment amount, which is fixed across the life of the lease. Also, the calculation (based on the current book value) of the principal vs. interest components of the monthly payment is fixed, and the reporting is limited. However, it does set up the payments in AP automatically for the vendor. This enables payments to go out as part of the monthly check run without manual intervention each month, so can be a big time-saver. It also gets the depreciation/amortization and interest on the books within the ERP system, which was a big plus for my company.
