Here's how to generate an invoice for CAM, Common Area Maintenance for commercial tenants.
Start by opening the Unbilled Costs by Job to show you a list of tenants with unbilled expenses.
Review this list thoroughly before taking the next step. You need to make sure you have collected all of the unbilled charges. Use prior CAM reports and invoices as a resource to double check. First, make sure you have all tenants listed. It will take some time to make sure you have all of the CAM charges for the period. If you find a cost that is not on the report, the most likely reason would be the date of transaction. Either change the date range of the report or modify transaction date (as long as it is in the same fiscal/tax period). Once you have fixed all of the issues, you can begin the CAM invoices.
Let's Invoice CAM Charges
Step 1 - Create invoice
Find the tenant in the Customer list, Click on New Transactions, and Invoice. Notice the pop-up window offers Unbilled charges. Click on the button to select the outstanding bills and OK.
Step 2 - Select charges
The next pop-up window offers four tabs. Click on the fourth tab, "Items" . Check mark each one using the mouse or Select All. Click OK.
Step 3 - Preview invoice
Here's the invoice assembled with the CAM charges. It's ready to print or send via e-mail.
Step 4 - Print invoice
Send to the printer to create a paper document. And/or generate a PDF. Either way, keep a copy in your files either as a PDF or printout.
Step 5 - Send invoice to tenant via email and snail mail.
An email arrived this morning letting me know I could download my purchase. Except -- I didn't place an order. Had I downloaded the file, I probably would have to spend days troubleshooting random problems. Eventually I would surrender in favor of my sanity by taking the only safe way out, "nuke and repave". To fix the opps, is exponential to the n'th degree, after just one click.
Thank goodness Norton Anti-Virus caught this one before I took action. Most trickster are not obvious to unsuspecting computer users. To get to know this phisher, we'll need to look under the covers.
In Outlook, select from the menu, Message Options. It may be fairly well hidden. This will reveal metadata to give us clues to track down where this nasty little message came from.
Below, see the Message Options, for the senders codes. BTW, Message Options is a very oblique use of English language. No wonder it's rarely used.
At first glance it looks gnarly. Notice two areas that are highlighted. That's all the info you will need to follow up to protect your InBox.

I probably should block future email from two email address:
- 6AA2CBBAF@domainsya.com
- 2EF89473@abeystudio.com.
Better yet, I can block all email from this IP address: 194.176.60.109. I took the time to look the originating IP, internet provider. It was sent from a Lithuania host.
Geez, I guess I won't be hearing from them anytime soon!
