To assign financial periods to a rent calendar cycle

The procedure to assign financial periods to a rent calendar cycle is as follows:

1. Navigate to Quick Menu > Rents > Configuration > Rent Calendar. The Calendar Details window is displayed.
2. Select a calendar cycle from the alphabetical list or type its name into the Search Calendar field 1.
3. Click on Years. The Years tab is activated, revealing all years linked to the rent calendar cycle in the Years summary table.
4. Highlight the row matching the year against which financial periods will be assigned. The associated rent charging periods are displayed in the Periods summary table.
5. Double-click on the first rent charging period to be mapped to an equivalent nominal accounting period. The Manage Periods window is displayed.
6. Enter the Financial period into the field provided i.e. the equivalent nominal accounting period 2.
7. Click on Confirm. The proposed nominal accounting period matching the selected rent charging period is displayed in the Periods summary table.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the remaining rent charge periods 3.
9. Click on Save.

Note

1 The Search Calendar field will match against any element of the calendar cycle name.

2 This is the accounting period used to summarise the cash coming in and out of the housing organisation during that rent charge calendar period.

3 As the rent charging frequency could deviate from the accounting timeline, it is feasible to assign the same nominal period number to multiple rows in the Periods summary table.
