What Add Additional Income does in Proplix
Add Additional Income is part of Proplix Applicants, Renters & Pre-Tenancy and is designed to add another income stream to the applicant's affordability information. It keeps the additional amount, type and source against the applicant and property context that gives it meaning.
Within the wider Income & Affordability workflow, Add Additional Income supports structured income information and supporting evidence used during affordability review and should lead towards a fuller affordability record without overwriting the primary income entry without rebuilding the same information from public forms, inboxes or spreadsheets.
Why this capability matters before tenancy onboarding
Add Additional Income matters because the applicant has relevant income beyond the primary source already recorded. If the additional amount, type and source is scattered across separate records, the next colleague may have to work out which applicant, property and version is current before acting.
A structured Add Additional Income record supports a fuller affordability record without overwriting the primary income entry while reducing the risk that figures are misunderstood because the source, period or evidence is unclear, or several income streams are flattened into a single unexplained total and keeping human review, privacy controls and the organisation's fair decision process intact.
