A ‘Negative Statement’ will be created when the rental
income is insufficient to cover any expenditure.
To allow a negative statement you have to make sure the
settings are correct in the ‘Landlord Record’
Double click on the ‘Landlord record’ you wish to create
a negative statement for
Make sure ‘Negative Stat’ box is ticked (see diagram) –
‘Save & Exit’
Within the ‘Landlords’ module, click on ‘Statements’
(bottom left), then click on ‘New Statement’
This will open the ‘Landlord Statement’ window
In this window, select the Landlord by clicking on the
little ‘Address Book’ icon (highlighted in the diagram) which will open up the
list of Landlords
Select the Landlord by clicking on the line once to
highlight in blue, then click ‘Select Contact’ – this will then open up the
‘Landlord Statement Transactions’ window. This lists all the transactions that
will be added to the statement. If there are any transactions that you do not
want to appear on the ‘Landlord statement’ then click on the ‘x’ on the left
hand side and this will be de-selected. Click ‘Add to Statement’
When these are added to the statement, because ‘Zero
Statement’ is not selected, the statement will be a minus figure.
If all information looks correct click ‘Update’ – it will
ask ‘Are you sure you want to update this statement into Sage’ Click ‘Yes’ - It
will then create a ‘Statement Number’
Then click ‘Save & Exit’
When the Landlord pays, receipt the payment by clicking
on ‘Landlord Receipt’
