CAM Charges
See Commercial How To document 353
This function determines CAM candidates based on the information entered in the Commercial Lease, CAM function. The charge is then calculated using that information. When the candidate list appears, the tenant and the charge amount are displayed. Clicking on that line will display the calculated fields for your review. The Source Amount can be changed. The other fields are for information only.
Use the Skip box to skip the charge for that tenant.
The Edit box above the vertical scroll bar will toggle the line item charges from view, to one line edit, to every line edit.
When you are satisfied with the information on the screen, click the Post button to post the charges to the tenant ledger.
For example:
You receive bills over the course of 3 months for $3217.32 for roofing which is to be passed on to the tenants. Invoices were paid out of the owner’s ledger.
