Invoices these are applied to HOA accounts for things like HOA dues, common meal attendance, guest room usage, eggs from community chicken, honey from community bees, etc.
Checks these are for community bills such as common house electric bills, landscape water bills, community internet connection, reimbursing households for community purchases, etc.
HOA Payments these are applied to HOA accounts when households pay their dues and/or for their invoices (common meals, guest room, etc)
Credits these are for reimbursing HOA accounts when households make purchases for the community and would prefer to get credit instead of reimbursed with a check.
Transfers these are used to record shuffling of money between various accounts

the accounting system also has support for

  • annual budgets for accounts
  • ongoing accounts that are tracked separately and roll over year to year (e.g. some communities keep their common meal finances separate from the rest of the accounting)
  • a capital improvements account for tracking individual projects funded by a single account
