1 Introduction

1.1 Where Can This Script Be Used?


This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA 2022 – 2020 Fully-Activated Appliance (in short “appliance” in
this script), hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide.

The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:
1. Via SAP Cloud Appliance Library (hosted on cloud providers)
You need a cloud provider account at AWS, MS Azure, or GCP. With this, you can deploy the appliance within 1-2 hours from
https://cal.sap.com > Solutions > SAP S/4HANA <your release> Fully-Activated Appliance.
2. Via installing it on your own on-premise hardware.
You need to provide your own hardware, and order & install the appliance as explained in SAP Note 2041140.

If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1809-system-in-a-fraction-of-
the-usual-setup-time/

Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information about necessary
preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your appliance. These steps are covered in
sections:
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.

2 Demo Story: Lease-In Accounting

Lease contracts describe contractual agreements between two partners: the lessor and the lessee. The lessor is the owner of an
asset, whereas the lessee has a right to use this asset during the period agreed in the lease contract. For the use of the asset, the
lessee must pay lease payments, which are agreed to in the lease contract.
This scope item helps you standardize and automate your lease-in credit contract management activities for real estate,
machinery, equipment, vehicles, and computer hardware.
You can easily create new contracts, execute periodic and valuation postings for existing contracts.
You can change the supplier of an existing contract and run reports of your existing contracts as part of your daily business.
You can create reminder rules for every contract, such as to check contract conditions, the contract term or renewal options,
helping you save time and effort while freeing up capacity for more strategic tasks.
Leveraging the reporting functions enables you to make better and more informed lease management decisions.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each
process step, report, or item is covered in its own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that
are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be added.
• Note – This demo story is based on the SAP Best Practices Scope Item 1T6_US, Lease-In Accounting.
