Automating Lease Lifecycle & Financing with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations – For Lessor
Global equipment lessors often manage thousands of active contracts across multiple regions. Add in layered financing structures—equity, debt, and third-party investors—and the complexity grows rapidly. Manual processes in this environment create risks in billing accuracy, funding visibility, and profitability tracking.
Choosing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) by integrating Project Management, Subscription Billing, Dynamics 365 Sales Pro/CRM, Logic Apps, and Power BI, the platform automates the entire lease lifecycle while ensuring transparency and control.
Lease Lifecycle Automation
Subscription Billing Module: Lessors can:
- Configure FMV, dollar-out, and hybrid lease structures
- Auto-generate schedules for payments, interest, and depreciation
- Capture renewals, buyouts, and early terminations as attributes
This automation ensures every lease follows consistent accounting treatment and reduces manual workload for finance teams.
Multi-Layer Financing
Most lessors fund contracts through multiple sources. Dynamics 365 F&O allows you to:
- Track equity, bank debt, and investor contributions tied to each lease
- Analyze ROI by capital source and funding layer
- Post journal entries directly to lease projects for transparency
This provides clarity not just for finance teams, but also for investors seeking insight into their returns.
Business Impact
To conclude, by automating lease setup and financing structures, lessors gain:
- Accuracy in lease lifecycle management
- Transparency across equity, debt, and investor funding
- ROI-driven decision-making for better portfolio management
If you are a Lessor and wish to digitize lease lifecycle management and layered financing, adopt the strategy explained above to scale systematically, reduce risks, and provide stakeholders with the visibility they expect.
