Smartr365 Firm Reporting

v4.0 Release Notes

What is New?

Smartr365 Fees and Reconciliation Power BI reports will contain our version 4.0 of reports which is focused on financial reporting that will help advisers and firms to

  1. Know what fees are outstanding on Mortgage and Protection cases.

  2. Reconcile against the invoices and payments received from clients, lenders, and providers.

  3. Bulk update on which cases are paid in the system.

  4. Report on which fees can be paid out to each adviser.

As part of this release, we are releasing two power BI reports in our new reports’ version 4.0:

  • Fees & Reconciliation report

  • Commission Statements report

  • Working and Definitions

Data for these reports are coming from Smartr365 Platform. Once any field is updated on the cases for either Mortgages or Protection, it will reflect on the Power BI reports in an hour when the report is refreshed.

Cases: Cases are actual financial products which have entered the Smartr365 sales pipeline and have been assigned to mortgage or protection advisers.

Submitted Cases are products which exist in the Smartr365 Sales pipeline, and which have, within the period being reported upon, reached either Pre-Offer-Processing (Mortgage Cases) or Submitted-To-Underwriters (Protection Cases).

A Completed Case is either a Mortgage or Protection Case which has reached the Completed status in Smartr365 during the period being reported upon.

Fees can be either Paid or Unpaid. If they are Paid, then their respective payment date falls within the period being reported upon. If they are Unpaid, then they have not been marked as paid at any date in Smartr365.
