Owner statements

How an owner statement is built, how to read it, and how to schedule generation.

Owners → Statements → /owner-statements Beta

An owner statement is the periodic account of what an owner's property earned, what it cost, what you charged for managing it, and what is payable to them.

Structure of a statement

A statement is built at invoice grain, per unit, with a running balance:

Brought forward (B/F)
  + income invoiced / collected on the owner's units
  − management commission
  − expenses attributed to those units
  = Net payable
  → Carried forward (C/F)

The brought forward → carried forward running balance is what makes consecutive statements reconcile: last period's C/F is this period's B/F. If they do not match, something was generated out of order or a period was reopened.

Reading a statement

ElementMeaning
SummaryThe period, the owner, and the headline figures.
Account activityMovements by unit, at invoice grain.
Service-type rowsIncome and cost split by what it was for.
Line detailDrill into any line to its source invoice, payment or expense.
CommissionThe management fee, with the rule source that produced it.
Closing balanceWhat is carried into the next period.
Net payableWhat is due to the owner, subject to the contract's minimum disbursement.
Linked documentsThe generated PDF and anything attached.
TimelineGeneration, regeneration and delivery events.

Generating statements

  1. Close the period's activity

    Ensure invoices are issued, payments are allocated and expenses are recorded. A statement generated over incomplete data has to be regenerated.

  2. Generate

    Use Generate statements for a period, either for one owner or in bulk.

  3. Review before sending

    Check the commission lines, the expense attribution, and that B/F matches last period's C/F.

  4. Download or send the PDF

    Download latest PDF from the owner or the statement.

Schedules

Owners → Schedules → /owner-statement-schedules automates the cadence.

A schedule defines when statements are generated for which owners, following the contract's cadence and settlement lag. From the schedules list you can create a schedule and run now for an off-cycle generation.

Scheduled generation removes the month-end scramble, but it does not remove the review step — statements should still be checked before they reach an owner.

What drives the numbers

FigureComes from
IncomeInvoices on leases against units in the contract's scope, for service types in scope.
CommissionThe contract's commission terms as at the statement period, versioned.
ExpensesExpenses attributed to the owner's units or blocks.
B/FThe previous period's C/F.
Net payableClosing balance, subject to the minimum-disbursement threshold.

Regenerating a statement

Regenerate when the underlying data was genuinely wrong — a missing expense, a mis-allocated receipt. Regeneration is recorded on the statement's timeline.

Do not regenerate to reflect a term change that took effect later; versioned commission terms exist precisely so that a historical statement keeps the terms that applied at the time.

Common problems

SymptomCause
B/F does not match last C/FStatements generated out of order, or a prior period was regenerated after this one was produced.
Income lower than expectedUnits missing from contract scope, or invoices raised against the wrong unit.
Commission missing on some incomeThe service type is not in the contract's scope.
Costs missingExpenses not attributed to a unit or block.
Owner sees a zero balance despite activityNo statements generated for the period.
