Units may be created using the following if not using Rent Reasonableness.
Go to Maintain>> Section 8 Tables>>Unit Master.
In Horizon Software the Section 8 Tenant Number is made up of three sections:
V0021 - 0046 - 01
The first section is the section 8 project code/number.
The second section is the unit number.
To find the last unit number used for the project, open the Unit/Tenant Number browse by using F4 to activate it or by pressing the square to the right of the tenant number. Scroll down to the end of the project number to view the last unit number used.
For instance, if you have sorted the list and are looking for the next available unit in V0021 your list will look something like this:
|
Unit Number |
Address |
City |
|
V0021004101 |
603 Edison Avenue |
Philadelphia |
|
V0021040203 |
576 Main Street |
Johnstown |
|
V0021004507 |
3644 Pock Drive |
St. Michael |
|
V0022000203 |
833 Lady Lane |
Smicksburg |
The next available number would be 0046 since 0045 was the last unit number used for V0021
Or you may select the project number and use F8 to go through all the unit/tenant numbers used for that number.
The third section is the number of the tenant.
The tenant number indicates how many tenants have lived in the unit. For example; the first tenant is 01, the second tenant to live there is 02.
