This task is used to refund Interest on Deposit balances on hand to all tenants in a community or in all communities that you are authorized to see.
This task will create a pending General Ledger entry to debit the Security Deposit Liability account and credit Tenant Refund Payable, but will not actually cut checks to the individuals, you will still need to do that in your accounting software.
Bostonpost Financials, MRI Web Service and QuickBooks customers can enable this process to create Tenant A/P Invoices directly to your accounts payable system. When the Tenant Payable Interface is enabled at System Administration > Accounting Setup - Export Information Setup, no GL Entries are created directly. Instead an Accounts Payable Invoice is created and loaded to your accounts payable application.
The Deposit charge types must be set up with all appropriate GL accounts.
