The procedure to define a rent sundry type parameter value is as follows:
- Navigate to Quick Menu > Rents > Configuration > Rent Configuration Settings. The Rent Configuration Settings window is displayed.
- Click on Sundry Types. The Sundry Types tab is activated.
- Click on New Sundry. All fields are activated ready for data entry.
- Enter a Description into the field provided e.g. Court Appearance, Grass Cutting, Meals On Wheels, etc.
1.
- Using the Agreement type drop-down field, select an appropriate lookup value for the sundry type i.e. to define the range of sundries that can appear within a specific agreement.
- Where a Mid period start is permitted for the sundry type, activate the tick box provided.
- Where a Mid period end is permitted for the sundry type, activate the tick box provided.
- Using the Notice type drop-down field, select an appropriate parameter value for the sundry type i.e. the required notice to be given for any service items linked to this sundry type.
- Enter the number of Initial visit days into the field provided i.e. the elapsed period permitted between the start date of an agreement and the first scheduled visit 2. The Up and Down arrows are available to increment or decrement the value, as required.
- Choose an Effective from date for this sundry type i.e. the date on which it came into effect 3.
- Choose an Effective to date if the sundry type status is to be reviewed on a specific date or to capture a change of circumstances; a blank field means the sundry type will never expire.
- Click on Save 4.
Note
1 System validation rules ensure that the description entered for each new sundry type is unique for the effective period.
2 The new tenancy (first) visit provides the tenant with an opportunity to ask questions and raise any issues, thus promoting good customer service and contributing towards reducing tenancy turnover rates.
3 The Effective from date defaults to the current system date and cannot be left blank.
4 To amend the details of an existing parameter, select a sundry type from the alphabetical list or enter its name into the Search Sundry Types field. By default the list is filtered to show Current sundry types. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Expired, Future or All combinations. Only a limited number of fields can be updated once a record has been created.
