Frequently asked questions

Onederful is a lease accounting solution built directly inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It covers the full IFRS 16, ASC 842, and FRS 102 process - from capturing lease data and generating schedules, to posting journal entries and producing disclosure reports - all in the same system you already use. There is no second system, no data transfer, and no separate reconciliation. Everything runs on top of your existing chart of accounts, dimensions, and posting structure. In practice, Onederful turns lease accounting into a structured part of your finance workflow - not something managed separately in spreadsheets or external tools.

Yes. You can use Onederful as a standalone lease accounting solution and connect it with your existing systems. Many teams use it alongside ERP platforms like SAP, Dynamics 365 Finance, or Oracle, keeping lease accounting separate while exchanging the data they need. If you use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, it works differently. Onederful is installed directly inside Business Central as an extension, using your existing chart of accounts, dimensions, and posting setup. There is no second system, and no integration or data transfer to manage. In practice, it comes down to your setup. You either integrate Onederful into your existing landscape, or run everything directly inside Business Central - both approaches are supported.

Onederful is designed to fit into your existing setup first, not force a new one. Most flexibility comes from configuration inside Business Central - your chart of accounts, dimensions, posting groups, and reporting structure. This allows you to align lease accounting with your current finance processes without changing how your organization works. For most teams, this level of setup is enough. You can adjust structure, reporting, and workflows directly within the system and keep everything consistent. If you have more specific requirements, customizations and integrations are possible and handled separately. These are scoped based on your setup and delivered on a transparent, hourly basis at €122 / $122 per hour. In practice, the approach is simple - use standard configuration wherever possible, and extend it only where it adds real value.

Yes. Onederful supports multi-company management within Business Central, so you can handle lease portfolios across multiple entities from a single environment.

Yes. Security is built on the same foundation as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Onederful runs on Business Central infrastructure - whether you use it directly inside your existing ERP or as a standalone setup. This means your data is protected by Microsoft’s cloud security model, including enterprise-grade access controls, encryption, and compliance frameworks. Microsoft’s platform meets major international standards such as SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and others used by finance and regulated industries. There is no separate system to secure and no external data storage managed by Onederful. Lease data, calculations, and postings remain within the Business Central environment. In practice, Onederful does not introduce new security risks - it extends a platform that is already trusted, certified, and widely used for financial data.

Onederful is a flat-rate subscription - $250/month (USD) or €250/month (EUR). There are no per-user or per-lease fees, so the price stays the same as your lease portfolio and team grow. If you already use Dynamics 365 Business Central, there are no additional user costs on the Onederful side. Your existing users continue working in the same environment. If you don’t use Business Central, users will need to be licensed to work with Onederful. The Business Central Essentials license is sufficient. Typical Essentials licensing is around $70 per user/month or €70 per user/month. In practice, it stays simple - one fixed fee for Onederful, and standard Business Central licensing depending on your setup.

The subscription includes full access to the Onederful solution: All features Support for ASC 842, FRS 102 and IFRS 16 standards Unlimited leases Implementation and onboarding are scoped separately based on your requirements. There are no feature tiers or usage-based pricing - you get full functionality from day one.

We don’t offer a self-serve trial. Instead, we provide a free consultation where we walk you through the product using scenarios relevant to your lease portfolio. This way, you can see how Onederful works in your context before making a decision.

Nothing changes. Your subscription covers unlimited leases, so your pricing stays the same as your portfolio grows. That’s the benefit of flat-rate pricing - no per-lease fees, no scaling costs, and no surprises.

After go-live, you decide how much support you need. There is no bundled consultant support included in the subscription. Instead, support is provided on demand - so you only pay when you actually use it. We support you with: day-to-day usage questions lease calculations and reporting changes in your lease portfolio or structure Support is priced at a fixed rate of €122 / $122 per hour. Some teams operate independently after onboarding. Others involve us during the first reporting cycles or in more complex cases. In practice, the model stays simple and transparent - no hidden support fees, no ongoing obligations. You stay in control of when and how support is used.

Most implementations are completed within 2 to 4 weeks. The timeline depends mainly on your lease data - how complete and structured it is, and how much preparation is needed before import. If your data is ready, you can move faster and start working with real schedules early in the process. If it requires cleanup or validation, we take the time to get it right before going live. We run onboarding in a structured way, so you always know where you are and what comes next. The focus is not just speed, but getting your first company live with clean data and calculations you can rely on. In practice, timelines are predictable - and driven by how ready your data is, not by open-ended implementation work.

Implementation is not included in the subscription. It is a separate, fixed onboarding package - scoped upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before anything starts. Typical onboarding costs range from €4,538 to €5,709 ($4,538-$5,709), depending on your data and setup. This includes: €2,635 / $2,635 - setup and configuration inside Business Central €732 / $732 - training for your finance team €1,171 to €2,342 / $1,171 to $2,342 - lease data migration There are no open-ended consulting hours and no "it depends" pricing during the project. The scope is agreed in advance, and the work is structured around getting your first company live with clean data and correct calculations. If your setup is straightforward and your data is ready, onboarding stays at the lower end of the range. More complex data or migrations require more effort - and that is reflected transparently. By default, onboarding covers one company and does not include customizations or external integrations. In practice, the goal is simple, you go live with a structure you understand, and numbers you can rely on.

You can choose how involved you want to be. Some teams set up Onederful themselves. It runs inside Business Central and comes with a predefined setup, so you can prepare your lease data using our template and start working with it quickly. Others prefer to entrust the full process to us or one of our partners. In that case, we handle the setup, data migration, initial configuration, and training of your team - so everything is structured correctly from the start. In both cases, you’re not figuring it out alone. We stay involved where it matters, especially in the first steps, to make sure your lease accounting is set up right and works the way you expect.

It's simple. Onederful comes with a default setup so you can start right away. Just fill in our Excel template with your lease data, upload it into Business Central, and Onederful validates everything automatically. No middleware, no custom integrations.

It’s your choice how you want to approach it. Some teams choose to set everything up themselves. This usually works well if your team is already familiar with Business Central and has a solid understanding of lease accounting standards. Others prefer to involve us or one of our partners more closely. In that case, we handle the setup, data migration, and provide dedicated training using your data - so everything is structured correctly from the start. The decision typically comes down to two things: how comfortable your team is with Business Central, and how confident they are with lease accounting. In both paths, we’re available to support you when needed - so you don’t get stuck, and you know the system is set up the right way.

Onederful is designed to work with your existing Business Central setup - not replace or restructure it. It runs directly inside Business Central and uses your current chart of accounts, dimensions, and posting groups. There is no need to change your core configuration or rebuild your finance processes. During setup, we align lease accounting with your existing structure - so postings, reporting, and controls fit naturally into what you already have. If adjustments are needed, they are limited to configuration, not structural changes to your ERP. In practice, this means you extend your current system with lease accounting, instead of introducing a parallel process or disrupting what already works.

Lease accounting is the process of identifying lease contracts and reflecting them correctly in your financial statements. Under IFRS 16, ASC 842, and FRS 102, most leases no longer stay off the balance sheet. Instead, you recognize: a right-of-use (ROU) asset, representing your right to use the leased item a lease liability, representing your obligation to make payments From there, each lease is measured over time using a defined structure: interest is applied to the liability the asset is depreciated or expensed payments are split between principal and interest In practice, lease accounting is not just a one-time calculation. It’s an ongoing process - handling new leases, changes in terms, remeasurements, and keeping everything aligned for reporting and audits. That’s where most complexity comes in: keeping calculations consistent, traceable, and aligned with your general ledger over the full lease lifecycle - not just at initial recognition.

Lease accounting distinguishes leases based on how risk, ownership, and usage are structured in the contract. In practice, most organizations work with two main types: Operating leases - where the asset is used over time, but ownership does not transfer Finance (capital) leases - where the contract is closer to ownership, with most risks and rewards transferred Under IFRS 16 and ASC 842, this distinction matters less on the balance sheet, as most leases are recognized in a similar way: a right-of-use (ROU) asset a lease liability The difference comes in how expenses are recognized and presented over time. FRS 102 follows a slightly different model, where classification between operating and finance leases still has a more direct impact on reporting. In practice, the challenge is not just identifying the lease type - it is applying the correct treatment consistently across contracts, handling changes over time, and keeping everything aligned with your financial reporting. That is where structure and clear calculation logic become critical.

An operating lease is a lease where the risks and rewards of ownership stay with the lessor, rather than transferring to the lessee. In practice, this typically means you use the asset for a defined period, without taking on ownership or long-term residual risk. Under IFRS 16, almost all leases, including operating leases, are brought onto the balance sheet. You recognize: a right-of-use (ROU) asset a lease liability Under ASC 842, operating leases are also recognized on the balance sheet, but the way expenses are recognized over time differs from finance leases. Under FRS 102, the traditional distinction remains more visible, and operating leases are often treated differently from finance leases in terms of recognition and presentation. In practice, the key challenge is not the definition itself - it is applying the correct treatment consistently, handling changes over time, and keeping everything aligned with your financial reporting and disclosures.

A finance lease is a lease where the terms of the contract transfer most of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. In practice, this usually means the lease behaves similarly to buying the asset - you control it for most of its useful life, and the economic value is largely transferred through the contract. Under IFRS 16 and ASC 842, finance leases follow a structured approach: a right-of-use (ROU) asset is recognized a lease liability is recorded over time, the liability is reduced using an interest method the asset is depreciated separately The result is a front-loaded expense profile, where interest and depreciation are recognized over the lease term. Under FRS 102, the classification between finance and operating leases remains more explicit, and finance leases are recognized on the balance sheet with similar mechanics. In practice, the complexity is not in identifying a finance lease, but in applying the calculations consistently, handling changes over time, and keeping the results aligned with your financial reporting

IFRS 16 is the accounting standard that defines how leases are recognized and reported in financial statements. It came into effect on January 1, 2019, and applies to companies reporting under IFRS. The key change it introduced is simple: most leases are now recorded on the balance sheet. For each lease, you recognize: a right-of-use (ROU) asset a lease liability These are then managed over time, with interest applied to the liability and the asset depreciated. In practice, IFRS 16 turns lease accounting into an ongoing process - handling new contracts, changes, and keeping everything aligned with your financial reporting.

ASC 842 is the US GAAP accounting standard that defines how leases are recognized and reported in financial statements. It came into effect in 2019 for public companies and 2020-2021 for private companies, and applies to organizations reporting under US GAAP. Like IFRS 16, it requires most leases to be recorded on the balance sheet. For each lease, you recognize: a right-of-use (ROU) asset a lease liability The key difference is in how leases are classified and how expenses are recognized over time - especially between operating and finance leases. In practice, ASC 842 turns lease accounting into an ongoing process: managing contracts, handling changes, and keeping calculations aligned with financial reporting throughout the lease lifecycle.

FRS 102 is the UK and Ireland accounting standard that defines how leases are recognized and reported in financial statements. It has been in effect since 2015 and applies to entities reporting under UK GAAP, including many private companies. Unlike IFRS 16 and ASC 842, FRS 102 keeps a clearer distinction between lease types: finance leases are recognized on the balance sheet operating leases are typically recognized as expenses over time In practice, this means lease classification has a direct impact on how leases are presented in financial statements. As with other standards, the complexity is not only in identifying the lease type, but in applying the correct treatment consistently and keeping everything aligned with your reporting over time.

Most challenges come from turning lease accounting into a consistent, repeatable process. In practice, teams struggle with: collecting complete and accurate contract data determining and applying the right discount rates handling changes such as modifications or index-linked payments producing disclosures that hold up in audits At the same time, lease data is often spread across departments - finance, procurement, operations - which makes it harder to keep everything aligned. The result is usually not one big issue, but many small inconsistencies: spreadsheets that don’t match, calculations that are hard to trace, and processes that break when something changes. In practice, the challenge is not understanding the rules - it’s applying them consistently across all leases and over time, while keeping everything aligned with your financial reporting.

Excel works for small, static cases. Lease accounting is rarely that. As portfolios grow, spreadsheets become difficult to control. Calculations are spread across files, changes are hard to track, and small errors can impact your financial statements. Dedicated lease accounting software replaces this with a structured process: consistent calculation logic across all leases clear audit trail for every change and posting built-in handling of modifications, remeasurements, and variable payments alignment with your general ledger and reporting In practice, the difference is not just efficiency. It is reliability. Instead of maintaining multiple versions of the truth in spreadsheets, you work with one structured system where calculations are transparent, traceable, and consistent over time.
