Lease payments
The lease accounting standard is incredible explicit to what consitutes a lease payment. Which is defined as any payment that is a result of using the underlying asset.
The majority of these payments will factored into the calculation of the lease liabilty. For more details on that refer here.
Non-lease payments
Not all activities related to a lease are subject to the guidance in ASC 842. For example, a supplier may lease a truck and operate the leased asset on behalf of a customer (i.e., provide a driver). The service of providing a driver is not related to securing the use of the truck and is not a lease component. Only items that contribute to securing the asset's output are lease payments.
In this example, only the use of the truck is considered a lease component. Similarly, costs incurred by a supplier to provide maintenance on an underlying asset and the materials and supplies consumed as a result of the use of the asset are not lease components.
