SAP RE-FX as a Proven Solution for IFRS 16 Leasing

The SAP Flexible Real Estate module (SAP RE-FX) is available in both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA (on-premise and cloud). This module requires the Business Partners functionality for recording leasing contracts, a standard feature in S/4HANA across all modules.

Depending on the timeline of your SAP S/4HANA strategy, SAP RE-FX can be implemented in your current SAP ECC system. It is S/4HANA-compatible and can easily be migrated to your future SAP S/4HANA system. If you are already migrating to S/4HANA, implementing SAP RE-FX can be the next step in your transition roadmap.
