This screen (Tenancies>Bulk PDF Statements) allows you to create a separate PDF statement for each of your tenancies, and also an xml file containing the details.

The new Accrued Balance columns can be turned off by going to System Maintenance > Preferences > Finance > Arrears Screen - Include Accrued? and setting this to As Generated Only.

Property Maintenance Enhancements:

Maintenance Manager Export Screen: New screen added for users that are using Maintenance Manager.
