Allocate tenant receipts to future dated rent invoices - 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 allows you to allocate tenant receipts to future dated rent invoices not yet raised - this will allow you to easily pay rent paid in advance to the landlord, without having to manually raise the rent invoices

This process can be carried out via the individual tenancy receipt screen, plus the unallocated tenant receipts and the import receipts from bank statement screens - all three methods are outlined below
