A configuration option is available which ensures that the next inspection date that is shown on the Management tab of a tenancy correlates with is the next inspection date established via from the inspection schedule screen

The difference between the dates occurs due to how the next inspection date is calculated on the tenancy and the inspection schedule:

...

on the Management tab of the tenancy record, the next inspection date is calculated using the Regular frequency setting (also on the Management tab)

...

With the configuration setting off (i.e. the default behaviour):

  • the number of days set on the tenancy Management tab in Regular frequency* is added to the previous inspection appointment date booked

With the configuration setting enabled:

  • the number of days set on the tenancy Management tab in Regular frequency* is taken from the inspection schedule’s Inspection Due date instead
    The inspection schedule calculates the inspection due date from the start of the tenancy and, while it still uses the regular frequency setting on the tenancy, the due date never changes regardless of when the inspection appointments took place

*and initial inspection frequency (where configured)

To avoid a difference between the dates , it is advised to use shown on both screens, this configuration option can be used to ensure that the next inspection date shown on the tenancy matches is the same as the due date on shown in the inspection schedule

Info

In the example above, the inspection was scheduled for 09/01/2023 but the appointment took place on 13/01/2023 - 4 days later than scheduled

When the configuration is off
The Next date on the tenancy Management screen is shown as 90 days since the last appointment date (which is 13/04/2023) but the Inspection Due date on the inspection schedule is calculated as 90 days since the last inspection due date (which is 09/04/2023) - resulting in differing dates being shown on the two screens

When the configuration is on
The Next date on the tenancy Management screen shows the Inspection Due date taken from the inspection schedule - therefore both screens show 09/04/2023
