Colonial Modules
Investor Distributions
With the Investor Distributions module, businesses can streamline investor transactions.
This module helps property managers maintain records on and process payments for all of the investors in each property/company. Based on the distributions in the system, Accounts Payable invoices are created for each investor and checks can be written to each investor. Investor types and categorizations are defined by user, and reporting can be based on these categories as desired.
Property managers can print a variety of reports, including a complete report of each property investor, ownership percentages, investor types, and General Ledger accounts. In addition, historical payment data is accessible through Accounts Payable.
Using Investor Distributions, you’ll appreciate these benefits:
- Distributions are simple. Enter a distribution amount and date, and the distribution is prorated to each investor based on his ownership percentage.
- For convenience, adjustments can be made in distribution entry without altering the permanent record.
- Single-screen entry streamlines setup. Property managers can define the ownership percentage, investment type, and general ledger distribution account information.
- Distribution data may be quickly entered. It’s easy to add percentages owned or to add an investor to a distribution during entry.
- For accuracy, distributions must equal 100% of property value or the user will receive a warning message.
- Take advantage of seamless integration with other Colonial components. For instance, an accounts payable invoice is created for each of the property investors from the distribution entry.
- Journal entries are automatically created to the appropriate withdrawal account(s) and accounts payable account.
- Payments to investors can be made electronically using the electronic ACH payment component.
