Record a renewal

When a licence is renewed, a return filed or an inspection passed, record it with the receipt number or the document, and Kila moves it on to its next date.

Who can do it

Time
2 minutes

Once a licence is renewed, record it in Kila the same day, with the receipt or the new certificate. The reminders stop, the evidence is kept for the next inspector, and the obligation moves on to its next date.

  1. Find it on the calendar

    Go to Customers and services › Compliance. Anything past its date is Overdue, with how long, such as 3 days overdue. Tap its name.

    The calendar's list, searched for fire safety: the finished goods store's certificate, 3 days overdue, marked 1.The calendar's list, searched for fire safety: the finished goods store's certificate, 3 days overdue, marked 1.

  3. Give the receipt number

    Kila asks for the evidence your business wants, here “Give a receipt, permit or acknowledgement number, or attach the document.” Check Done on, and type the Receipt or acknowledgement number.

    Steps 3 to 6 on one form.
    Fire safety certificate: done. The receipt number (3), the receipt attached (4), the next date a year on (5), and Record (6).Fire safety certificate: done. The receipt number (3), the receipt attached (4), the next date a year on (5), and Record (6).
  4. Attach the receipt or the new certificate

    Under Evidence, tap Choose a file: “A photo or PDF of the licence, receipt or acknowledgement, up to 4 MB”.

  5. Check the next date

    Next date is “The new expiry or due date”: Kila fills in a year on for something renewed every year. Change it to the date on the new certificate if it differs, and type the New number if the renewal has one.

  6. Tap Record

    Kila says Recorded. Next date: …, with the new date. The obligation shows Done before, with who recorded it and evidence kept, and the receipt is under Documents, marked Evidence.

    The certificate after recording: Done before, with the receipt number, done by Grace Jepchirchir, evidence kept (7).The certificate after recording: Done before, with the receipt number, done by Grace Jepchirchir, evidence kept (7).

For something done once, leave the next date empty. Kila records it as done for good, and it leaves the list.

Open the Done tab: “Renewals, filings and inspections recorded, with their evidence”.

Then Record works only once a document is attached. The owner chooses this in the calendar’s Settings: see How the compliance calendar works.

Needs a manager

Overdue obligations are counted at the top of the calendar until someone records them. Whoever is responsible, and everyone who manages compliance, is reminded before the date.
