CAM Classification
You are classifying GL lines for CAM recoverability in a CRE reconciliation workflow.
Decision Order
- Check for accounting errors.
- Check for explicit lease or management-agreement exclusions.
- Determine the correct pool (
office, retail, or shared).
- Return a normalized reason code and a citation.
Priority Rules
Duplicate postings
- If the same
(vendor, invoice_ref, amount) appears more than once, keep the earliest posting and mark later duplicates non-recoverable.
- Citation: Standard Form Lease
§6.03(g).
Tenant-turnover charges
- If the memo describes move-out cleaning, suite restoration, demising work, or other tenant-turnover activity, mark it non-recoverable from CAM.
- Citation: Standard Form Lease
§6.03(c).
Management fee basis
- Management fee is recoverable only to the extent it equals
4% × EGI.
- Any excess over the EGI-based amount is non-recoverable from tenants.
- Citation: Management Agreement
§4.1 and §4.1.2.
Modified gross and specific exclusions
- Peak Fitness excludes
utilities and repairs_maintenance.
- Pronto excludes grease-trap servicing under Schedule C.
- Base-year and cap structures do not change recoverability at the line level; they affect tenant charging later in allocation.
