Owner Payment

 

This screen allows you to:

Post a credit to an owner’s unit that is a payment from the owner or edit an existing owner payment transaction.

 

Before you begin:

An owner payment credit means that the owner will receive on his statement the money posted.  This option is used to post credit to the owner that is an owner payment.
