Maintenance - Completing or cancelling a report

Updated over 6 months ago

1. Completing a maintenance report

Once a maintenance issue has been resolved, we recommend that users then complete the item on SME Professional. This ensures that the Maintenance page continues to list only open issues.

There are two ways in which a report can be closed, with or without invoice details.

1.1 Without invoice details

If the invoice is still to be received or a different team handles the invoicing, please follow the steps listed below:

  1. Go to Lettings Properties > Maintenance

  2. Locate the report in question

  3. Click on the tick icon within the Close column

Since the report was closed without adding any invoice details, it has been moved to the View complete and awaiting invoice section which can be accessed by clicking on the relevant link.

1.2 With invoice details

To add invoice details at the same time as completing a report, please follow the steps listed below:

  1. Go to Lettings Properties > Maintenance

  2. Locate the report in question

  3. In the Invoice received column, click on the pencil icon

  4. Enter the date the invoice was received

  5. Enter a reference code/number, if required

  6. Tick the Close maintenance item check-box

  7. There are submit buttons available, please select the appropriate option

    1. Update invoice received - this will close the report and log the invoice details against it

    2. Update and add landlord expense - as well as the above, users will also be directed to the Financials > Landlord deductions page where they can add the landlord expense

2. Cancelling a maintenance report

  1. Go to Lettings Properties > Maintenance

  2. Locate the report in question

  3. Click on the pencil icon within the Invoice received column

  4. In the Date field, enter something along the lines of Cancelled

  5. Tick the Close maintenance item check-box

  6. Click Update invoice received

Once submitted, the report will be closed and moved to the View complete items section which can be accessed by clicking on the relevant link.

The closed report will show with 'Cancelled' in the Invoice received column for reference to users.
