Annual Procedures in RMS

 

  1.  Complete all Monthly Procedures for December 2013.
  2.  Print Owner Copy Unit Totals as needed.  Go to Reports>Owner Reports>1099's and Unit Totals.
  3.  Print 1099's. RMS will print the federal 1099 information for the Owners and the Vendors.  RMS will also create a file you may send the IRS if you choose to submit the 1099s that way.  The 1099s should be printed after the statements for the last month of the year have been finalized.  Keep in mind that the information you entered and maintained in RMS is the data that will be reported.
  4. Upgrade Unit's Date File - ONLY IF NEEDED.  This option will drop the first year tracked and build a new calendar year for booking.  Make sure you are done with the first year before running this utility.  Some reports will no longer be available, but all your reservation data will still be at your fingertips.  If you need assistance with this utility please call RMS Support. 
  5. Update Unit Rates.  You can run the Rental Rate Listing, found in the Reports Menu>Unit Reports, to check your rates for the new year.  Remember rates must be changed in the Unit Rate File.  If you want to change the dates the rates change, go to the Seasons File to edit the dates.
