Synopsis
- Rentvine syncs portfolio and contacts to Property Meld
- Maintenance happens in Property Meld
- Property Meld syncs bills to Rentvine
- Accounting happens in Rentvine
NOTE:
For each object, we must keep one source of truth, Rentvine or Property Meld. So even though the integration is "two way", for any given object it's only one way.
For example, updating a property in Meld does not update it in Rentvine, and updating an invoice in Rentvine does not update it in Meld.
Option A: Export as Bills
When set to Export as Bills, Property Meld creates a Bill in Rentvine for each approved invoice. The bill includes the invoice reference number and itemized charges, and the invoice PDF is attached to the bill.
In Property Meld

Option B: Export as Invoices
When set to Export as Invoices, Property Meld exports the invoice PDF to Rentvine as an Invoice record. Rentvine can read details from the PDF and pre-fill fields. You can review, make edits (including markup if needed), and then convert it to a bill.

Search by invoice number (Reference) or vendor/payee in Rentvine
If the setting was recently changed, older invoices may appear based on the prior behavior
