Income codes identify the general ledger accounts to use for posting receivable transactions. They form the basis for processing resident-related rental and other charges and transactions. They help create a link between receivable transactions in the system and the general ledger.

Income codes can have an assigned status of Active or Inactive. The status governs how the system uses the income code in calculations, reports, and similar functions. By default, each income code is assigned the status of Active.
Since the active/inactive status enables and disables income codes, you may find it convenient to change a status to cause the systems to use—or not use—an income code in calculations, reports, and similar functions.
An income code status can be changed as long none of the following statements is true:
Unapproved transactions that include this income code exist in journals.
Security on hand amounts that include this income code exist for residents.
Open items that include this income code exist for residents.
Active recurring charges that include this income code exist for residents.
Future recurring charges that include this income code exist for residents.
Lease renewals that include this income code exist for residents.
Unit default charges that include this income code exist for residents.
Additionally, to be eligible for a status change, the income code must not be used in the following:
Units cannot use the income code for lost rent.
Late notice schedules cannot use the income code for the late fee.
Late notice schedules cannot use the income code for the APR charge.
Management fees cannot be defined for the income code.
Tax rates cannot be defined for the income code.
HUD interface definitions cannot use the income code.
Student housing definitions cannot use the income code.
Fees cannot be defined for this income code.
Lease renewal worksheets cannot use the income code.
