This page outlines how to use a float to make a supplier payment

1. Enter float target

From the landlord record:

  • Right-click Payments and select Manage Floats

In Landlord Floats screen:

  • Open Landlord Payments screen

  • In Retain Float (bottom of screen), enter the amount of float you wish to use by inputting as a negative value and click Post
