NEW ENHANCEMENT: ALLOCATE BY PROPERTY 

 

 

This next feature can be found when creating a new bill. For this, we are going to create a new bill in the money out tab. In here, you will now see a new toggle labeled "Allocate by property". When turned on, you will first be able to specify some details. For example, you could put a total amount of 1000 dollars and choose an account for miscellaneous expenses. Then you can enter the description for each line item.

Next, you will be able to use the portfolio and or property group filter to select which properties the amount will be allocated to. You can select one or more portfolios and one or more property groups if you would like.

The last filter is the allocation type. You will be able to select how you want to allocate the amount. You can select even split, unit count, occupied unit count and square footage. This will change the amounts on the bills that are created based on the allocation type that is selected. Next, we can click generate allocations and it will show you all of the line items that can be created.

It will show the full break down based on the selected filters and you can just click save to create the bill. If you need to remove any line items from this section, you can click the red button next to the line item to remove it. Also, any zero dollar amounts that are here based off the filters will be skipped and no bill will be created for them.
