A prorated invoice is a partial rent charge that is calculated based on the number of days a tenant occupies a unit during their first (or sometimes last) month. Instead of charging a full month’s rent, the system only charges for the exact number of days the tenant is responsible for.
In Propra, a pro-rated invoice is generated when a lease begins on a day other than the 1st of the month, ensuring accurate billing for the partial month.
When Is a Pro-rated Invoice Available?
When you create a lease with a start date that is not the first day of the month, Propra will automatically provide the option to generate a pro-rated invoice.
How to Create a Pro-rated Invoice
Create the lease with a start date that falls after the 1st of the month.
Once the lease is created, locate the lease box.
Click the Create Pro-rated Invoice button.
Review the details and confirm the action.
Optional: Add a Management Fee
During the confirmation step, you will also have the option to create a management fee associated with the pro-rated invoice.
What Happens After Confirmation?
The pro-rated invoice will appear in the Receivables table.
If a management fee was selected, the corresponding payable will appear in the Payables table.
Important Notes
The pro-rated invoice option is time-sensitive.
The button will only remain available for a few days after lease creation.
This limitation prevents invoices from being created after the next scheduled rent charge.
If the Pro-rated Invoice Option Expires
If the option is no longer visible:
Navigate to Tasks.
Manually create the invoice from there.
