Account Settings Tab

G/L Account Format

???? Each question mark represents a digit, and by default, each GL account is given a four-digit number.

You can change the default format to suit your business requirements.

Default Cash Account
Current Retained Earnings
Accounts Payable Account
Accounts Receivable Account
Owner Draw Account
Prepay Account
Prepay Liability Account

These accounts have specific functions in Breeze. We do not recommend changing them. However, if you change the default Chart of Accounts, you might have to change a setting here as well.

Auto-Apply Prepayments

Sets a system-wide default for applying prepayments automatically to the next available charge.

Management Fees - Percent

The percentage of income to be charged as a management fee.

Management Fees - Minimum Amount

The minimum amount to be charged as a management fee.

Default Rent Charge Code
NSF Bank Fee Account
NSF Payer Fee Charge Code
Late Fee Charge Code
Sales Tax Charge Code
Application Fee Charge Code
Sales Overage Charge Code
Cleanup Charge Code
Insurance Charge Code

These charge codes (and one account setting) have specific functions in Breeze, and we do not recommend changing them. However, if you create new charge codes, you might have to change some of the settings here.

Note: Cleanup is an accounting term in Breeze, and refers to "cleaning up" small overpayments and underpayments made by tenants. (It does not refer to house cleaning.)

Cleanup Tolerance

The limit for accounting cleanup. Any overpayment or underpayment below the tolerance will be moved to a special account. The recommended setting is $1.

Monthly Posting Apply Credits

If this option is selected, the Monthly Posting feature will automatically apply any existing tenant credits to the new charges.

Prepay Future Charges

This option is intended for clients who report on a Cash accounting basis, and it changes the way income is recorded when a tenant pays a charge early.

Allow Screening Without SSN

By default, the screening form requires that tenants enter their Social Security Number. If you want to allow screening without it, select Yes.
