An IBD ledger is generated for each offer/contract that is logged against a listing. Only when funds have been receipted against a specific IBD ledger (offer/contract) will the ledger begin to show in relevant Trust Account Reporting. Once funds are available for disbursement e.g. Cheques have been receipted, banked and cleared you are able to make payments from this ledger.
When settling an IBD Account you can either Receipt IBD Interest directly into the IBD Account and then make payments directly from the IBD ledger to the recipients or conduct an IBD transfer to transfer all funds out of IBD into the Sales Ledger for disbursement.
*Note:
- The payment date must be the date the payment is logged into your Agentbox Sales Trust Accounting System.
- IBD Account details are logged against the specific Offer/Contract to which they relate. This is done via the Offers/Contracts tab of the related Property Card in your Agentbox System.
