## 📊 Monthly transaction summary

The **Monthly Transaction Summary** report lets you obtain an overall view of active rents for a given period.

The information is presented by **property** and by **unit**, with a total by building.

## 🧾 Report variables

### 🏠 Unit

Corresponds to the rental unit associated with the rent.

### 🛏️ Rooms

Indicates the number of rooms in the unit.

### 💰 Opening balance

The **opening balance** represents the amount due by the tenant at the beginning of the selected month.

- **Past month**: based on the amounts billed and the payments collected
- **Current month**: corresponds to the unpaid amounts from previous months
- **Future month**: represents the amounts that remain to be collected

### 🏚️ Vacancy

The **vacancy** amount represents the estimated income lost when a unit is unoccupied.

This amount is based on the **suggested price** set up in the unit record.

👉 This is an estimate, not an amount actually billed.

### 💵 Rents

The **Rents** column represents the rent amount, with a different logic depending on the period:

- **Past month**: displays the **base rent only**
  - Discounts, services, and taxes are displayed separately
- **Future month**: displays an **estimated total amount**
  - Includes rents, discounts, services, and taxes
  - The amounts are not broken down

### 💸 Discounts

Represents the amounts deducted from the rent.

👉 Corresponds to **services set up with a negative amount**

Examples:

- monthly discount

### 🛠️ Services

Represents the additional fees related to the unit.

Examples:

- parking
- appliances

👉 Only **positive** amounts are displayed.

### 🧾 GST / QST (Taxes)

Taxes are displayed only if:

- **taxes are set up in the unit record**
- and an **invoice has been generated**

👉 They reflect the **taxes actually applied**.

### 💳 Rent collected

**Rent collected** represents the amount actually received during the selected month.

👉 Based on the **payment date**, regardless of the rent month.

May include:

- late payments
- payments in advance

### ❌ Failed PAD

Represents the amounts associated with **failed pre-authorized payments (PAD)**.

👉 Lets you quickly identify the payments that could not be collected.

### 📊 Closing balance

The **closing balance** represents the amount due by the tenant at the end of the month.

👉 The opening balance is added to the amounts of the month, then the payments received reduce this total.

### 📅 Start and end

The **Start** and **End** fields correspond to the dates of the rent period.

👉 A period can represent:

- a lease
- a renewal

### 💰 Deposit

Represents the security deposit associated with the period.
