Creating a transaction manually to record the maintenance costs on the Property ledger

When a Maintenance Task has been completed, you may want to cost the Maintenance against the Property. You must have an Invoice Paid date and Actual Cost before you can create the transaction.

To create a Property Transaction, click Create Property TxnChintaro will advise you the Property Transaction has been created 


The Property Transaction will now appear in the Property Transactions ledger on the Property Record.

**Note: You can change the default property transaction by going into System Maintenance > Preferences > Maintenance



Creating Property Transactions automatically from Maintenance Tasks

If you would like a property transaction created automatically whenever you complete a maintenance task, it is easy to setup.

First, make sure that you have setup your default transaction type.  Go into System Maintenance > Preferences > Maintenance: 

If the transaction type doesn't exist yet, you can create one by adding an entry to the Transaction Type Property reference table (System Maintenance >Reference Tables):


Next, go to the Parameters reference table in the same section and scroll down to the parameter called SyncPropertyTxn.  Set the number in the Parm Number column to -1:


In order for the transaction to be created, both the Invoice Paid date and Actual Cost must be filled in on the Completion Details tab of the maintenance task:

The property transaction will be created when the blue EXIT button is pressed to exit the task.  It can be viewed in the property transactions ledger.


Create a Property Note from a Maintenance Task

When a Maintenance Task has been completed, you may want to record a Property Note with the details of the completed task. 

To create a Property Note, click Create Property NoteThe Note Type should display as Maintenance.

Chintaro will advise you the Property Note has been created and the Maintenance Note will now appear in the Notes section of the Property screen. Double click on the Note to open the details of the Note, which will include the Works Requested & the Works Completed fields. 



Copy a Maintenance Task

You have the ability to copy the Maintenance Task to other Properties if you are creating a number of Maintenance Tasks that are the same. 

To copy the Maintenance Task to other Properties, click Copy This Task. The Copy Work Order pop up box will appear, where you select the Property & the Inventory Item to copy the Task to.

After selecting a Property & Inventory Item, click Update.

A pop up box will appear, asking if you are sure you want to copy the Maintenance Task. Click Yes to copy the task to the selected Property.


Another pop up box will appear, asking if you want a new auto-generated Order Number for the new Maintenance Task. Clicking Yes will generate a new order number for the new task, and clicking No will keep the order number of the Task that is being copied.

 


The copied task will now appear in the Maintenance search screen, in the Maintenance function of the Property, and in the Incomplete Maintenance Task Status Bar on the Home Screen.
