Next inspection date on tenancy matches date on inspection schedule - configuration option
This guide has been reviewed against our global client base and classed as relevant to all regions
A configuration option is available which ensures that the next inspection date that is shown on the Management tab of a tenancy is the next inspection date from the inspection schedule screen
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 shown on both screens, this configuration option can be used to ensure that the next inspection date shown on the tenancy is the same as the due date shown in the inspection schedule

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
