Rent runs in SwiftlyBooks
Each due day's rent invoices together: what has gone out, what comes next, and the drafts to approve.
Approve a run
- Find the due day: its invoices are drafted at 06:00 that morning, one for each lease with charges due.
- To check them first, press the number of invoices beside the day, then open each one.
- Press Approve them beside the day. Each is numbered and emailed to its tenant.
- Rent days too old for a run to make, after a long lapse, show under Missed. Press Invoice them, or Not owed.
- In Zimbabwe:Your own rent invoices are signed with ZIMRA as they are approved. A landlord's are not.
- In Zambia:Your own rent invoices go to ZRA's Smart Invoice as they are approved. A landlord's do not.
What else it shows
- Held: each lease held before its runs, and until when.
- Not invoiced: a lease a run could not invoice, and why, such as a closed month.
- A late-payment charge, drafted after a lease's grace days, to Approve or Waive.
- Tenants with no email address, in amber: their invoices are approved but not emailed.
Good to know
- A landlord's rent is invoiced in their name, without VAT, even when they are registered for VAT: they issue their own tax invoices.
- Empty units and ended leases are left out. A lease starting mid-month is charged for its days.
- In Zambia:To invoice early, set Days before the due day to invoice in Settings → Property management. The invoice carries the earlier date.
