Community Fees & budget

The Community Fees  and Community Budget is available via the menu item Control Panel.  These two modules are available generally to committee members or above.  The modules allow the President, Webmaster or Administrator to either inform owners of their respective community fees, or provide an actual full account statement.

Before we start please read the below short description to understand the differences between each module. They are in fact two separate modules that should not be confused with each other.

Community Fees. This module is there to show detailed transactions of the community fees and payments received.  Using the difference from the fees and payments a Debtors list is also calculated and made available on the Community menu as Debtors List.  This module is most useful for communities who do not have an Administator or whose administrator cannot or does not provide accounting information in a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file so that it can be imported into the website.  Through this module a President or Webmaster can enter all the payments due and received from each owner and hence showing full account transactions for the community fees to owners and getting a detailed list of debtors list. 

Community Budget. This module allows each community to specify what the full yearly or monthly budget is.  They can also specify how often it needs to be paid and also show any possible applicable discount or late payment fees.  The information provided using this module will be shown to owners through the menu item “My fees & Accounts” under the tab “Upcoming Fees”.  Therefore this is just informational value for owners to know how much they have to pay, when they have to pay it, and what discount they may get for early payment or what surcharge is applied for late payments.
