This task is used to receive monies for a community that are not directly related to tenants, i.e. Laundry or Vending receipts. Recording these receipts allows you to include these items when you run reports in Property Manager, for the purpose of reconciling the cash posted in Property Manager to your bank statements and cash recorded in your accounting software.
