How do contractor ledgers work in Street
Street makes it easy to track and manage your contractor's accounting. Each contractor will have a unique ledger for their company. This enables you to keep an accurate record of incoming and outgoing money for that contractor, regardless of where money has been paid from.
How to access a contractor ledger
The easiest way to access a contractor ledger is to head to the Contractor page - either by searching their company name in the global search bar at the top or by clicking into the Contractors tab on the left side panel and selecting from the list.

Once on the Contractor page, click the Accounting tab.
Contractor ledger page
The Contractor ledger page gives you a breakdown of the company details including the commission as well as the ledger balance, jobs awaiting invoice and unpaid completed jobs.
The commission amount shown is the default commission as set on the company page. However this can be adjusted at individual maintenance job level when needed.
Below this is where the Contractor Ledger details are stored. Here you can see a list of entries that are relevant to the contractor such as maintenance payments (being paid into the ledger) and outgoing payments (being paid out to the contractor).
You can filter entries by a date range, void entries that have not yet been allocated, view invoices and allocate to charges and show voided entries.
Note - It is not possible to void an entry that has had money allocated to it. For more information on voiding ledger entries, see this help article.
Clicking 'view' on a contractor ledger lets you view any recurring charges.
You can also click 'add' which gives you options to manually receipt money in, add a one off charge, add a recurring charge, add a credit note and export the ledger to CSV.
Note - It is not possible to allocate money on the contractor ledger as there is no need for manual allocation here. Payment is allocated automatically when the maintenance job has been processed in the Allocate Funds section.
The outgoing payment will appear on the contractor ledger when a payment file has been created from the Payments to Make section.
