Property portfolios are rarely simple. One company owns a whole building, while the next consists of individually owned apartments. Another entity manages the property and a third one pays the bills. SkyBill explains how property billing in Dynamics 365 can reflect these structures accurately.

Complex ownership structures in Dynamics 365 property billing

Key takeaways

Supports one owner with many buildings, one building with many owners, mixed use, ownership by floor or unit, shared investment and sub-leases.
Each property, unit or ownership share can have its own contract, billing conditions and settlement rules.
Owner, tenant, bill recipient and payer are handled as separate roles.
Configurations can change as units are sold, contracts are renegotiated or management changes.

Flexibility at contract level

Instead of treating ownership as one fixed field, SkyBill links each unit to the right owner, tenant agreement, billing entity and payer. This matters because the person living in a unit is often not the one receiving the bill, and neither of them may be the one paying it. The separation is especially useful in landlord managed and billing on behalf models.

Built to change with the portfolio

Ownership changes, units get sold and contracts are renegotiated. According to SkyBill, it has not yet come across a property ownership structure that could not be modelled in Dynamics 365. The business does not have to bend around software limits or rely on manual workarounds as the portfolio grows.
