How to Pay Owners

Do you need to distribute funds to owners? This article will walk you through the process of how to distribute funds to owners out of each portfolio.

IMPORTANT : Before paying owners, be sure to have their default payment type configured .

Step 1 - Navigate to the Pay Owners page:

- From the navigation menu select the Quick Actions button and then select Pay Owners.

- From the navigation menu, select the Accounting. Then select Money Out
- Now select the green Actions button on the right, and click on Pay Owners from the drop down menu

- You can also access the pay owner page from a Portfolio details page by clicking on the green Actions button and selecting Pay Owner. This will automatically filter the pay owner page to only show the one portfolio that you want to distribute money from.

Step 2 - Pay the Owners

If you are on Bill Management Fee mode you might see a warning message appear at the top of the Pay Owners page. If you see the message below it means that there are management fees that have not been posted / billed in the current month. It is highly recommended to post your management fees before paying owners in order to ensure the proper funds are held back. To post management fees before paying owners click on the green button.

On the Pay Owners screen, select which portfolios you would like to distribute funds from by clicking the checkbox to the right of each portfolio.

You can also click the blue link above, Select All Non-Zero. Doing this will automatically select all portfolios that have a positive amount to payout.

Rentvine automatically provides a Distributable Amount. That amount is then prefilled in the Amount to Pay field. The Distributable Amount is calculated by taking the:

Portfolio's:

You can select the Blue Arrow to the left of the Portfolio name to see a detailed breakdown of this.

The items in red are held back so you do not overpay the owner. However if you want to pay the owner more than the distributable amount you can override the Amount to Pay field by typing the amount that you want. However, keep in mind, that if you pay the owner more than the distributable amount, the owner statement may state that the owners account balance has gone below the required amount and ask the owner to make a contribution.
