How to Redirect Utility Payments to a Utility Company

NOTE:  Please contact the Horizon Help Desk before redirecting tenant payments to the utility company.

**The first step in the process is to setup the tenant's Utility Account number and Vendor number (see your Accounting department for the information).  

Tenant Master (Active)

Go to Maintain>>Tenants (Active)

• Select the tenant by entering their Tenant Number or Last Name

Tenant Enhanced Utility Setup

• Go to Quick Link and select Tenant Enhanced Utility Setup from the menu

• Enter information for one or more of the listed utilities.

• • Information that is entered does not enable payments to the utility company until the Enable for Direct Payment box is checked.

• Check the Enable for Direct Payment box for all utilities that are to receive reimbursement payments.

• • Utility Reimbursments can be split between several utility companies by checking the appropriate boxes.

• Click Save and then Close the Tenant Enhanced Utility Setup view

Rent Calculation

• Go to Quick Link and select Rent Calculation from the menu

• Open the Rent Calculation tab

• • Under Auto Utility Payments, all utilities that were enabled to be paid will have the amount box opened up.  

  • Enter the amount of the Utlity Reimbursement (which should match the Contract Rent)

  • Save and Close

The Utility Reimbursements will now be directed to the specified utilty(s) until changed.
