Purpose
This article explains how licence type fields are used in Kamma's Reapit integration to support the licensing process from application through to approval.
What you’ll learn
In this article, you’ll learn:
The difference between the Licence Type Required and Licence Type Granted fields
When to use each field
How to use Application Status alongside licence types
Licence type fields explained
Reapit contains two licence type fields to reflect different stages of the licensing process:
Licence Type Required – used during the application stage
Licence Type Granted – used once the licence has been approved and issued
These fields are used alongside Application Status, in the Licence Application section, to clearly track progress.
When to use each field
1. During the application stage
Use the following fields in the Licence Application section when a licence is being applied for:
Licence Type Required → the type of licence being applied for
Application Status → set to Applied or Landlord Applying
Use this when:
A licence application has been submitted
A landlord is handling the application themselves
2. Once a licence is granted
Use the following once the licence has been approved:
Licence Type Granted, in the Licence Granted section → the confirmed licence issued
Application Status, in the Licence Application section → set to Granted
Use this when:
The local authority has approved the application
A licence has been formally issued
How this supports your workflow
Using these fields together creates a clearer process:
You can track applications separately from issued licences
You can see the progression from request to approval
Your records remain accurate at each stage
Flexible usage
If you prefer a simpler approach:
You can continue using Licence Type Granted for both stages
You can leave Licence Type Required blank
Kamma's Reapit integration supports both workflows depending on your needs.
What happens next
Licence information is stored against the property
Compliance and reporting will reflect the licence details recorded
You can update licence types as the application progresses
