If users need to add one-off payments that are not part of a landlord balance, contractor balance or deposit balance to the BACS schedule, they can follow the steps below.
1. Adding payment
One-off BACS schedule entries can be added by following the steps listed below:
Navigate to Lettings properties > Property balances
From the left sidebar, select View BACS schedule
From the new page, click Add BACS payment from the top right corner
Enter the payment details, including the payee, payment amount, bank details, and payment reference.
Click Submit - this entry will then be included on the BACS schedule for payment
2. Completing payments
After the BACS schedule has been successfully uploaded and payments have been instructed in the bank, users should complete the payments on SME Professional.
Navigate to Lettings properties > Property balances
From the left sidebar, select View BACS schedule
From the top right corner, select Mark ALL as complete
Do not select Mark ALL as complete until the bank has confirmed the payments have been accepted.
Once marked as complete, the payments are removed from the active BACS schedule and moved to the Completed Payments list for audit and tracking purposes.
