This feature allows you to create adhoc payments to tenants and suppliers from different ledgers within the system.
Ledgers available for payment are as follows:
- Management Agreement
- Tenant Bond
- Tenant Deposit
Management Agreement: Payments made to the tenant or supplier directly from the management agreement property owner, this payment will appear on the owner’s statement.
Tenant Bond: Payments made to the tenant or supplier directly from the tenant’s bond ledger, this payment type will not appear on the owner’s statement.
- Note: to receipt funds into the tenant bond ledger you will need to raise an invoice to the tenant using a transaction code created to reflect this, the correct from and to ledgers must be selected when creating the transaction code in administration set up tables, these ledgers are “From the Tenant” to the “Tenant Bond Ledger” and not shown on owners statement/financial statement
Tenant Deposit: Payments made to the tenant and suppliers directly from the tenants deposit ledger, this payment will not appear on the owner’s statement.
When you select one of these ledgers the trust account balance of the selected ledger is now shown (NB: for management agreements this is the balance, not the available funds. The balance does not account for the withheld amount, unpaid invoices and uncleared deposits).
