2. PivotTable data

The PivotTable is shown on the first worksheet of the Excel spreadsheet - it uses a default format for how it presents its data - to change how the table is presented, see section 2a below

  • Pipeline data includes invoices that are forecast to be raised in the future

• Both the Invoiced and Pipeline categories could contain sections titled:

  • Initial Tenancy (i.e. a tenancy that has not yet been renewed)

  • Renewal
    If these sections are not displayed, then there is no relevant initial tenancy/renewal data to show

• Within each section is a breakdown of fees that have come in or are due to come in, which could include:

  • Add. Agent Fee - value of additional agent fee
    The additional agent fee is calculated from specific nominal fee(s) - the nominal fee type(s) used for additional agent fees are dependent on business requirements (and are set in configuration)

  • Letting Fee - value of letting fees as set on the tenancy

  • Management Fee - value of letting fees as set on the tenancy

  • Other Fee - value of other fees
    The other fee is calculated from specific nominal fee(s) - the nominal fee type(s) used for other fees are dependent on business requirements (and are set in configuration)
