Balance Forward (Legacy)
This help article contains instructions for the Legacy Version of Rentec Direct. More information about the latest version of Rentec Direct can be found here: The Remodel | Rentec Direct’s Newest Software Update
A Balance Forward is the previous balance on an account that has been carried over from the previous statement to the current statement.
Tenant Ledger | Balance Forward
If a tenant did not pay their rent last month and owes you $1500, the balance forward on their current statement would be $1500 as they still owe that amount.
Bank Ledger | Balance Forward
Note: This follows the same logic when pulling a property ledger or owner ledger report.
To View a Ledger Report Without a Balance Forward
A ledger report within the Rentec Direct software shows the information within the date range selected. The only method to see an account ledger without a balance forward would be to select the 'include all dates' option. By selecting 'include all dates' produces no balance to carry over as there are no prior statements.
