Reconciling the tenant account

The tenant account links the claims, payments and open balance of a tenancy. It answers the question of which movement led to an arrear and is the starting point for a credit note.

How to proceed
  1. Open "Payments" in the right lease.

  2. Check the open balance and go through the movements in chronological order.

  3. Open the related invoice or the PDF voucher if a claim is unclear.

  4. Match an incoming payment in payment matching. For a new invoice, check the period and amount before creating it.

  5. If an invoice was wrong, open it and choose "Credit note / cancellation". The "Credit note amount" is pre-filled with the whole invoice. The preview shows what has already been paid or offset and where it goes back to, for example "To the tenant's credit (2002)" or, for a deposit offset, as a credit of the tenant. Confirm with "Book credit note of …".
