This is how to correct an overpayment to the landlord.
Scenario:
The correct amount owed to the landlord was £1000 however you skipped your commission and transferred £1200.
Solution:
To deduct the money you overpaid to the landlord and to ensure the bank reconciles
follow the steps below:
- Create a payout of the over-payment amount (eg£200) to the landlord.
- Apply it to the property you overpaid from.
- Ensure the date and account matches the transaction in the bank.
- Fill in the description -eg. Skipped commission fee.
Step by step instructions on creating a payout can be found in the following article.
Once you have created a payout
- Go to banking and find the outgoing £1200 transaction.
- Select batch payment from the drop-down.
- Select both the £1000 statement payment and the payout of £200 from the existing drop-down.
- Save to close it off in the bank as one big payment.
The following time you create a statement, SleekTech will automatically include the £200 payout and deduct it from the total amount owed to the landlord.
