Apportioning Budgets for Non-Sellable Plots

Updated over 2 weeks ago

You can apportion the non-sellable part of a VAP budget over the sellable plots on a development.

For example, this allows the cost of an apartment shell structure or garage block to be spread over the sellable plots associated with it.

To specify the ratios for apportionment:

  1. In development Details, click the More > tab, then click the Apportionment tab.

  2. ClickAdd Buttonto add a new record.

  3. Enter a source plot - the non-sellable plot.

  4. Enter a target plot - the sellable plot to spread the costs over. You can enter several records for the same source plot.

  5. Select a split method:

    • Manual. This allows you to specify a figure that is used as the ratio for apportioning the costs. For example, if the non-sellable plot is a garage block with four garages, of which two belong to plot 001, and the other two belong to plots 002 and 003, you could enter three records as follows:

6. Notional Area, floor area, Density, Frontage. These allow you to use the value from a field on the plot record as the ratio for apportioning costs. For example, if the non-sellable plot is the structure of a block of apartments, you might choose to apportion the costs on the basis of the floor area of each of the apartments:

7. Click.

8. Do this for each plot to which you want to allocate costs.

To apportion the budgets:

  1. Go to Apportion Budget.

  2. Specify the development for which you want to apportion the costs, the source budget (that has the costs applied to non-sellable plots), and the target budget to receive the apportioned costs.

    You must set up the target budget in advance.

  3. Select the output options for the report and click.

    Coins ERP+ runs a background process to write the apportioned costs into the target budget.
