Read and keep the closing ledger

Every acquisition, disposition, financing and refinance on a deal, in one chronological list, entered by kind.

The closing ledger is what happened on this deal and when. Acquisitions, dispositions, loan closings and refinances are one kind of event here rather than four separate registers, which is the only way the question has a single answer.

The list is banded by date. Two closings on the same date to different counterparties are normal on a land deal, so they render under one heading rather than as two rows that do not acknowledge each other.

Entering a closing

Add closing opens a form by kind, because the kinds take different things. An acquisition takes a date, a counterparty from the party register, an amount and a note. A disposition also names the lot it closed, any deposit applied, and what was paid to the lender at the table, against which loan. A financing or refinance names the facility, and a refinance can name the loan it replaced. Somebody with money access at edit records it; at view or view_redacted the ledger reads and offers no form.

A lender payoff at a closing writes a repayment against that loan, dated the day the closing happened, and the payoff on the draws page reads the loan's principal net of it. The ledger row shows the figure beside the lot. Raising it is an edit; lowering or clearing it puts money back onto the lender's claim and asks money at approve and the approval ceiling, the same as voiding a repayment by hand. Voiding the closing voids the repayment with it, and the repayment stays on the draws page marked void, saying why.

A row can be edited or voided from its own line. The kind is fixed once recorded, since a disposition's lot and a financing's loan are shaped by it. A disposition closed from the Release calendar carries its takedown period and is the take's own row: it is changed on the calendar, and the ledger says so in place of the edit link.

Who can

  • Money at view redacted or better: anyone who can track budget status without seeing amounts.
  • Money at edit or better: anyone who can edit budgets and build draws.

Levels are set per person in Settings and people. What each level means.

How to

You open this to see what has actually closed on a deal, and for how much.

  1. Switch project carries this deal's name. The closing ledger is a project page only: All projects has no version of it.
  2. Every acquisition, disposition, financing and refinance on this deal, in the order they actually happened.
  3. One chronological list rather than one list per kind. Each row carries its counterparty and how many documents sit behind it.
  4. Add closing opens a form by kind. A disposition names its lot, a financing its facility, an acquisition neither.
  5. A disposition closed from the Release calendar is the take's own row: it is changed on the calendar, not here.
  6. A financing row is the facility the budget's Financing panel reads, and the one every draw on this deal advances against.

Known limits

At view_redacted on money the events and their dates are listed and the figures read as dashes.

A closing entered here is not yet marked as hand-entered, so the ledger cannot say which rows a person typed and which arrived another way. The lot and the takedown period are the only provenance a row carries.
