This function can be used to increase or decrease the tenant’s open credits. It essentially moves money between the owner or management group ledger and the tenant. Its primary use is to increase the tenant balance when a tenant is being credited for performing services that would normally have been done by a vendor. Refer to Tenant Deducts from Rent Payment.
To post recurring adjustments, see Recurring Charge in the Tenant Profile.
