How to Generate the Bond Reports in REST Professional

Overview

There are several reports that relate to the Tenant Bonds in REST Professional:

• The Bond Report – This report prints a list of tenants showing the bond number and bond amount receipted. The total of bonds paid will appear as a total at the bottom of this report

• The Bond Held Report – This report will only be available if Automatic Bond Payments has been setup. For more information please see document “How to Setup and Use Automatic Bond Payments in REST”.This report prints a list of tenants showing the bond required, receipted, disbursed and bonds held

• Internal bond ledger/s i.e. AABONDR and AABONDC

The Bond Report

1. Go to Reports > Tenant > Bond Report

   • Manager - To print the report for a particular manager, choose the manager from the dropdown list. Leave as All to print all tenants regardless of the manager

   • Report Order - Choose to print in tenant or property order

The Bond Required field is the amount recorded against the Tenant details. 

The Bond Paid field is the amount paid to the Bond Board and is also reflected on the Tenant Details as Bond Collected.  The total of Bond Paid on this report should reflect what is lodged with the Bond Authority. NOTE: Be mindful of bonds that are disbursed directly to the tenant upon vacating as this information would need to be manually updated to ensure the correct information is produced.

The Bond Held Report

This report will only be available if Automatic Bond Payments have been activated.

   • Manager - To print the report for a particular manager, choose the manager from the dropdown list. Leave as All to print all tenants regardless of the manager
