In short

How do I prepare the landlord rent payment run for approval automatically?

Each month, WebRun opens Traction Ag, reads the cash rent and crop share owed to each landlord, and drafts the matching bills and a payment run in QuickBooks. It leaves every payment unpaid and queued for approval, then posts you a Slack summary of who is due and how much, so the run is ready to release with one review.

  • The rent run is drafted and queued, so approval takes one review
  • Every amount ties back to the land agreement in Traction Ag
  • No payment leaves without a person releasing it

Questions, answered

Will it pay landlords without me?

No. WebRun drafts the bills and builds the payment run in QuickBooks but leaves every payment unpaid and queued for approval. A person reviews the run and releases it, so no money moves on its own.

How does it know what each landlord is owed?

It reads the live land agreements in Traction Ag each period and calculates the cash rent or crop share due, then drafts a bill for that amount so the figures tie back to the lease.

What if a landlord was already paid this period?

It checks Traction Ag and QuickBooks each run and skips any agreement already paid or already drafted, so a landlord is never queued for a double payment.

Put this on autopilot.
