How to PDF document #273 on entering receipts and posting the deposit.

The Ledger Receipt function posts receipts to an owner, property or management ledger. Receipts typically posted under this function include cash contributions from owners, application fees from prospective tenants and refunds from vendors.

 

Owner Contribution - when you receive money from an owner it is recorded as a ledger receipt. Normally the unit is left blank unless the funds are specifically earmarked for one unit when the owner has more than one.

If the unit ledger is a property, the receipt can be posted to the owner or the property. If you are unsure whether to post it to the owner or property, see Payment from Owner who is part of a Property for help.

The account code automatically defaults to the owner contribution entry in the Posting Table. To override, simply enter one or more line items.

 

Application Fees – see Application Fee – Recording Payment

 

Refunds from vendors are usually received for the same account as the invoice unless you want to track refunds separately. In that case, setup a separate account (with account type of other income) for the refund.
