The payout baseline: "Payouts through Nexxus began X"
The baseline is the line between owner money your previous system already settled and money Nexxus runs own. It freezes when you approve your first run and never moves from viewing.
Nexxus imports your full ledger history so reports and occupancy are real. But you already paid your owners for that history through your previous system — those payments weren't Nexxus runs. The baseline is the line that says:
"All rent applied before this date was settled in your previous system."
- Before the baseline: closed. That rent never appears in a Nexxus payout run again.
- After the baseline: Nexxus runs own the money.
When does it freeze?
The moment you approve your first payout run — at that run's window start, with that run's basis. Until then, every month's draft is a self-contained preview and there's nothing to corrupt. Recompute drafts, flip the basis, page between months freely.
Looking never moves it
Viewing or recomputing a draft never relocates the baseline. Once frozen, paging back to an earlier month shows either an empty run or your imported payment history — never fresh payouts. This is a hard rule in the engine: looking at a report must never change the books.
Where can I see it?
It's printed in the run header on the Payouts page — so you can always see, and question, the boundary.
One deliberate exception
If you approve a run for a month earlier than the frozen baseline, the baseline relocates earlier to match. That's intentional: by approving, you're asserting that Nexxus (not your old system) paid that period. It's rare — most operators never do it.

Pre-baseline months: "settled in your previous system"
Months before your baseline show your imported owner-payment history read-only — who was paid, when, how much — grouped by calendar month so it matches your old records.
When do owners get paid? Payout windows and cadence
Your company payout day defines the collection window each run pays out. Day 10 means the June run pays rent collected May 10 → June 10; set day 1 to pay the prior month in arrears.
What imported history can and can't do
Imported history is closed business: it powers reports and occupancy, but it never triggers late fees, never re-pays owners, and re-imports never duplicate.
