Expenses Related to a Task
Many tasks involve expenditure to resolve them; Vectra allows supplier invoices to be associated with a task to provide a useful metric for future task estimation. These expenses are also fully integrated with Vectra's expense tracking system to ensure timely payment as well as the financial reporting functions.

Leases and Tracking Rent
Keeping track of leases - both past and present - couldn't be simpler. Once the lease is entered then Vectra will automatically create entries for rent
due on the appropriate dates as it becomes due, as well as
allowing you to change the terms of the lease when it renews (or
even during the term of the lease). Comprehensive search options allow you to find leases easily, such as those in arrears, for a particular property, approaching renewal,
start date, tenant details etc..

Lease Amendments
Many jurisdictions allow leases to renew annually with an agreed change to terms (e.g. an increase in rent, a transition from a year-to-year to a month-to-month lease etc.).Vectra allows an unlimited number of lease addendum to be entered, each with an unlimited number of charges, terms and conditions.,

Searching
Vectra allows the user to retrieve a subset of data from it's database and
places them into a view on a new tab. The contents of the
view is defined using zero to many search terms (for
example, leases can be located by start and/or end date,
property, balance, status etc) as well as predefined search
templates (e.g. current leases in arrears).

Expense and Invoices
Knowing
the types and values of incurred expenses is a vital aspect
of running any organization, and property management is no
exception. Record expenses in detail, including when they're
due, any associated tasks, differentiate between operational
and capital expenses and enter an unlimited number of
invoice line items.

Pay Expenses in a Timely Fashion
One of the many search terms for retrieving expenses is
by payment status. The enables invoices to easily be paid on
time to avoid late fees and overdue interest while ensuring
a great working relationship with your suppliers,
contractors and vendors. Pay an invoice using one-to-many
payments (e.g. monthly installements of a large annual
expense) each of which can be by one of the many payments
supported as standard by Vectra (cash, cheque, credit card,
store card etc.).
