If you had an additional expense for your rental that is not connected to any booking such as a broken lamp, you would need to add this expense to your Owner statement.
💡 Note: Before you can create an expense, you always need to have a Statement where you can add this expense and a Recipient to who you paid this money.
To account for these incidental expenses, you need to follow these steps:
- Go to your Main Menu in the top left corner and select PM Modules
- Click Owner statements from the left menu bar.
- Go to your Statements, and click Details:
-
Click Create Payment.
- First, you need to select the recipient to whom you paid/need to pay these expenses, e.g. Rental Maintenance Ltd. In case you haven't created the recipient yet, learn how to do so.
- Then the system will automatically pull up a payment report for the selected recipient based on the payment strategy that you previously defined for them. Now scroll down to the bottom and click Add Item.
- A new pop-up window will appear where you can add the details of the expense. First, click on Concept Type and select Expense from the drop-down menu. Then select the rental where this expense appeared. Add a description of the expense and add the value. Then Save.
💡 Note: The Strategy defines if this is an expense that will be recurring every month or if this is a one-off expense. In case of a broken lamp, this would be a one-off.
