26.3 Release Notes
New Features
New Sync Status: No Data Sent to Accounting Module
Real Estate Manager now displays a distinct sync status when lease variations trigger the sync workflow but no accounting data changes are sent to LAM. The status "No Data Sent to Accounting Module" appears on the Contract page, Contract Dashboard, and Custom Reports.
How it Works
-
Lease Variation Triggers Sync
The user initiates a lease variation that may affect accounting data.
-
System Evaluates Changes
The system checks if any accounting data has changed.
-
Status Display
If no accounting changes exist, the status displays as No Data Sent to Accounting Module.
This status is visible on the Contract detail page, Contract Dashboard, and in Custom Reports.
Important Notes
This status replaces the misleading Synchronized label for these cases.
The user can filter and sort by this status in Custom Reports.
Improved Login Experience with Account Recovery Options
Real Estate Manager has made it easier to get back into your Real Estate Manager account if you forget your login details.
What's New
Forgot Password — A "Forgot Password?" link is now available on the Real Estate Manager login page. Click it, enter your registered email, and you'll receive a link to reset your password. No need to contact an administrator or raise a support ticket.
Forgot Username — A "Forgot Credentials?" link lets you recover your username by entering your registered email address. Your username will be sent to you via email.
Login error messages — The system now shows a clear error message when you enter an incorrect username or password, so you know exactly what went wrong.
Unregistered email handling — If you enter an email that isn't associated with an account during password or username recovery, you'll see a helpful error message guiding you on what to do next.
Account lockout protection — After multiple failed login attempts, your account is temporarily locked to protect it from unauthorized access.
Contract Notes Tab: View LAM Approval and Rejection Comments
A new Contract Notes tab on the Contract screen in Real Estate Manager now displays all approval and rejection comments made by LAM users, giving full visibility into the reasoning behind decisions.
Comments are captured for both Day 1 syncs and Day 2 changes, with the complete history shown in chronological order across multiple approval cycles.
This only applies to new approvals and rejections going forward and will not retroactively populate comments for historically processed leases.
Enhancements
Block Archive, Terminate, or Rollback when Invoices are in Unpaid Batch
Real Estate Manager now prevents users from archiving, terminating, or rolling back a contract when invoices from that contract exist in an unpaid payment batch. The system validates the invoice status before allowing these actions.
If unpaid invoices are found in any active batch, the system displays an error message and blocks the action. The user should resolve the payment batch first by either paying or removing the invoices.
Mandatory Cost Center Validation for Lease Accounting Significant Contracts
Real Estate Manager now requires the Cost Center field to be populated for all Lease Accounting Significant (LAS) contracts. The field must be filled before saving, syncing to LAM, or importing via REPIW.
If Cost Center is empty, the system blocks the action and displays an error message. This ensures complete and accurate financial data reaches LAM without manual corrections downstream.
Bug Fixes
Incorrect Lease Variation Date for Quarterly and Annual Leases
Real Estate Manager has fixed a bug where the lease variation date drop-down was being calculated based on the original contract start date, rather than the renewal or frequency change date.
What was Happening
For quarterly and annual leases, variation dates were misaligned because the system used the wrong reference point. This could lead to incorrect payment dates and sync failures with LAM.
Example
Contract started: 1 November 2021 (monthly payments)
Contract renewed: 1 January 2026 (changed to quarterly payments)
When setting up the new quarterly schedule, the system was using November as the base month, showing: Feb, May, Aug, Nov.
It should have used January (the renewal date) as the base: Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct.
What's Fixed
Variation dates are now correctly calculated from the renewal or frequency change date, ensuring payment schedules align properly and sync with LAM without errors.
Incorrect Modification Dates for Expired Non-Monthly Contracts
Real Estate Manager has fixed an issue where expired contracts with non-monthly payment frequencies (quarterly, annual) and mid-month start dates would show an incorrect next modification date.
What was Happening
When a non-monthly contract expired, the system was calculating the next renewal date based on the payment anniversary rather than the actual lease end date. This created date gaps and caused LAM sync failures.
Example
Lease started: 10 January 2023
Lease ended: 31 January 2026
Payment frequency: Annual (paid on 10th of each January)
The system was calculating the next renewal as: 10 January 2027 (the next payment anniversary).
It should have been: 1 February 2026 (the day after the lease actually ended).
What's Fixed
The system now correctly calculates the next renewal date as the day following the normalized lease end date, eliminating date gaps and preventing LAM sync failures.
Prevent Duplicate Review Dates on Lease Variations
Real Estate Manager now blocks users from saving a lease variation when two reviews on the same contract share the same effective date. The system validates review dates during the save operation.
If duplicate dates are detected, the save is blocked and an error message identifies the conflicting reviews and dates. This prevents silent save failures and invoice generation issues that occurred when the system could not determine which review to process first.
