Custom Formula Columns

This support article is under construction 👷

Please pardon the incompleteness while we work on this. We have made the article visible in the meantime because the content may be useful.

The Property Management Statement Views provide users with significant flexibility in configuring their Owner Statements, including the option for custom formulas. As you create your statement view for your customized Owner Statements, you use the pre-built OwnerRez fields or formulas or create your own custom formulas.

Before you start creating custom formulas, check out the Built-in Formula Columns support article. Some OwnerRez built-in formulas may be enough to suit your needs. Custom formulas are for PMs who find that the OwnerRez built-in formulas just aren't enough for their needs or have specific calculations that they have developed as a part of their vacation rental business operations.

Create Custom Formulas

The option to create a custom formula is at the bottom of both the Booking and Expense column dropdown lists.
