Pre-baseline months: "settled in your previous system"
Months before your payout baseline show your imported owner-payment history read-only (who was paid, when, how much, by what method), grouped by calendar month so it matches your old records. Before your first approval, months before your first import show this way.
If you imported your owner-payment history (for example Buildium's ePay Activity report, or a bank or Zelle export), paging the Payouts page to a month before your baseline shows a Settled in your previous system table: owner, paid on, method, amount and status (Paid or pending), with the memo under each owner's name. The KPIs read "—" for gross and fees and total the payments under Net to owners.
Until you approve your first run, the line is drawn at your first import instead. Months that ended before it show as history, so a freshly imported account never looks empty.
Why history is a separate layer
Imported payments are kept apart from Nexxus payout runs on purpose. Your previous system's export names the payee, date and amount, but never the per-booking, per-rate breakdown the payout engine needs. Guessing at it would compound small errors month after month. So Nexxus shows the history as-is, the baseline closes it, and the engine starts clean from your first approved run. Off-cycle runs and manual lines aren't available in these months.
The same history feeds the Owner Payments (paid) report, the Paid to owners figures, the owner's payout history on their page, and the owner portal's Payouts page.
"My May payouts aren't showing under May"
History months group payments by calendar month: the batch you paid on May 11 shows under May, even though a day-10 collection window would file it under June's run. This lets you match a month against your old records at a glance, and the month's Net to owners totals those payments for the same reason.
Pending payments that later settle
If a payment was imported as pending (say, an ePay batch that hadn't funded when you exported), importing a newer export after it funds marks it settled automatically. The record is updated in place, not duplicated, and the import summary lists which payments it marked settled.
Memos that say what a payment covered
A memo that names a rent month or date range ("August Rent", "July 12 – August 31") does more than label the row. It tells Nexxus the owner is paid through that date, so money arriving later for the same period won't be paid again. See Settled outside Nexxus.
What you can't do pre-baseline
You can't compute what a month before a frozen baseline would have paid. By design, those months show settled history instead of hypothetical runs.

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, browsing never moves it, and only an owner-admin's Reset payouts (before real money moves) clears it.
Settled outside Nexxus: paid-through dates and prepaid terms
When you already paid an owner through your old system, or up front for a prepaid lease, Nexxus holds that money out of new runs. It reads paid-through dates from imported payment memos, from a date you set on the owner link, or from a booking's Prepaid term, and shows what it held back in the run header.
What imported history can and can't do
Imported history counts as closed business: it powers reports and occupancy, but late fees are never charged for days before a lease existed in Nexxus, owners are never re-paid for months your old system settled, past leases are never charged rent, and filled-in months never count as payout cash.
Reports: what's available and how to run them
Reports has eight runnable reports: Operator Income Summary, Owner Income Statement, Owner Payments (paid), Revenue by Property, Tenant Ledger, Maintenance & Expenses, and the Owner 1099-MISC and Vendor 1099-NEC worksheets. Each runs for a preset or custom period and exports to CSV and branded PDF. Operator Income and Revenue by Property open on Earned; the rest count cash.
