Manage the contract ledger

Manage the contract ledger

Learn how to accurately track and manage financial transactions, from recording payments to reconciling balances. We'll guide you through each step to maintain precise and up-to-date ledger entries, crucial for the financial integrity of your warranty contracts.
Permission is required: Users with the Contract Ledger permission can make edits to the ledger.

Ledger Overview

  1. Go to Contracts and select a Contract.
  2. On the contract’s overview page, scroll down to find the ledger section.
Understand ledger entries
  1. The ledger will display the initial transaction as an outstanding balance, indicating that a payment is due for the warranty policy.

Record or add a payment

  • To record a payment, click on the 3 vertical dots and then click on Add Manual Payment. 

  • In the payment pop-up, enter payment details, including the amount, payment method, and any relevant notes or transaction IDs.
  • After ensuring all the details are correct, click ‘Save’ to record the payment.
  • The ledger will update to reflect the new balance, which should now be reduced by the payment amount.

  • If the contract requires an immediate one-time charge, such as for a service fee or setup cost, you can click on ‘Create one time charge’.
  • Enter the amount and any relevant details, then confirm the charge. This will be reflected as a new entry in the ledger.

Invoice a remaining balance

  • Should there be a remaining balance on the contract, select ‘Invoice Remaining’ to generate an invoice for the homeowner.
  • This will facilitate the collection process and keep your financial records up to date.

Manage ledger entries

  • View Invoice: Displays a detailed breakdown of charges and any payments applied.
  • Send Invoice: Electronically dispatch the invoice to the homeowner or other responsible parties for payment.
  • Mark as Paid: Once payment is received, you can mark the invoice as paid, which updates the ledger balance and reflects the completed transaction.
  • Void Invoice: If an invoice was created in error or is no longer valid, the ‘Void Invoice’ option can be used to cancel it out. This should be used sparingly and only when absolutely necessary, as it affects financial tracking.
