5. ‘Assigned to’ filter option

The Assigned to filter option allows statement items to be filtered according to who they are assigned to:

  • Assigning statement items is a new configuration option which allows authorised users to assign statement items in bulk to selected users or themselves
    See next section for more information on this configuration option, including how to assign & unassign statement items

  • When statement items are initially imported to receipts from statement they are unassigned
    i.e. they are not assigned to a specific user/negotiator

  • The default view in the receipts from statement screen is to show all items that are both assigned and unassigned - use the filter menu options to view items assigned to the currently logged in user, to a specific user/negotiator or just view unassigned items

6. Negotiator grid column

The negotiator column is related to the new assign functionality outlined in step 5 above

  • A Negotiator grid column has been added (far right) and displays who each item is assigned to

  • Blank indicates the statement item is currently unassigned

All other functionality previously available in this screen remains the same

Match imported receipts strictly on payment reference - configuration option

When this configuration option is enabled, in order for a statement item to match, the description of the statement item has to exactly match a payment reference in the system

This update has a huge impact on performance as the amount of background queries required in order to carry out the statement item matching process is drastically reduced

This configuration option is disabled by default
To request for it to be enabled, click here to contact Reapit Support

The ability to enter a payment reference for a tenancy, tenant, landlord or Direct Debit is already available on the system in the following locations

This is the reference used by the match imported receipts strictly on payment reference configuration option therefore, if you wish to implement this feature, you need to ensure that your payment references are entered and are unique

A unique payment reference needs to be entered in the following locations for a tenancy, tenant, landlord or Direct Debit, as follows

Tenancy

  • Access tenancy and click Financial & Extensions tab

  • Enter Payment reference
    This field should be used if the reference is used by all tenants - if not, individual tenant references should be used instead (see Tenant section below)

    Payment Ref - tenancy.png

The exclamation mark to right of field in the example above, indicates that the payment reference in use is not unique

This is just a warning flag - however, if the configuration option outlined in the next section - Prevent save when payment reference is not unique - is enabled, the record cannot be saved until the payment reference is changed

See next section for more information

Tenant

  • Access individual tenant record

  • Enter Payment reference

    Payment Ref - tenant.png

Landlord

  • Access landlord record

  • In Landlord’s Properties panel, right-click required property and select Add/Edit payment reference

  • Enter Reference

    Payment Ref - DD.png

Prevent save when payment reference is not unique - configuration option

When this configuration option is enabled, in order to save a record where a payment reference has been entered, the payment reference entered must be unique

This configuration option would only usually be used when the configuration option outlined in the previous section - Match imported receipts strictly on payment reference - is enabled, although it is not compulsory to use both options

This configuration option is disabled by default
To request for it to be enabled, click here to contact Reapit Support

When a payment reference is not unique:

  • A exclamation mark is displayed beside the payment reference

    Payment Ref - tenant with alert.png

The duplicate reference must be changed to a unique reference in order to save the record
