This is how to reconcile some incoming council payments that also deducts a refund for another tenant.
- Create all rent payments from the relevant lease page. Make sure to insert same date and account that the payment was paid out to you by the council.
- Open the lease page for the tenant that was refunded.
- Create a refund with the same date and account as the council payment.
- Once the refund is created, you can apply the previous overpayment to the refund so they settle each other. (You can apply a payment to a refund the same way you apply it to any invoice)
- Under Banking, find the bulk council payment.
- Next to the payment, click the search dropdown and select Batch Payment.
- Under the Existing Payment dropdown select all the payments and the refund that you've just created. (Make sure to select the outgoing payments first, then the incoming payments).
- The total payment amount should now match the bank amount.
- Click Save.
