Create a scheme

Add a sectional-title development so its units share one address and body corporate.

Start: Properties Result: a scheme that units can be added to.

Do this before adding units to a sectional-title block. A freehold house needs no scheme — see add a unit.

Steps

  1. Go to Properties and open the Schemes tab.
  2. Click Add Scheme.
  3. Fill in the Scheme Name — what you and the owners call it, e.g. Marina Heights.
  4. Add the street address. Units in the scheme inherit it, so you enter it once.
  5. Record the body corporate name if you have it. You will want it when reconciling levies.
  6. Save.

The scheme opens on its own page. Overview shows its address, body corporate and how many units are occupied; Units lists the units in it; Notes holds notes that print for every unit in the scheme. To change the details later, click Edit.

Next

Add the units — see add a unit.

Name the scheme the way the body corporate does. When their statement arrives, matching it to your records is a five-second job rather than a guess.
