Activating

You have to activate the adjustment run so that calculated adjustments are updated on the respective lease outs or rental units as valid condition items.

When activating, you have to specify per agreement:

  • Date from which the adjustment is valid

  • Date from which, in the case of retroactive condition changes, subsequent payments can be posted to the tenant account

If a credit note has to be issued due to retroactive condition changes, the system automatically copies the due date of the original transaction.
