Revenue Lines-Line Types

Revenue lines allow you to customize Revenue for your property to simplify data input while maintaining a reporting consistency for your corporate office. Revenue lines consist of various cells that are used to input and calculate data. Some of these cells can be associated with accounts.

Revenue lines are associated with specific line types, and each line type has a cell(s) which determines how the line behaves. For example, a Revenue Taxable line will have cells for Gross, Adjustments, Net and Tax. Configuration of these cells is required in order for Revenue to perform proper calculations. Most cells require data input, however, some cells are calculated.

Revenue line types can have children, however, each line type has restrictions as to the types of children. Determine which line type you want to associate with the revenue line according to the cell structure that you want that revenue line to have.
