Never Miss an Over-Deduction on Mobile Again

v0.1.129 | UI/UX · Responsive

Building a deduction claim on your phone just got a lot safer. Starting with this release, the Deduction Claim Builder pins a Deposit Position bar to the top of the screen on mobile — so your running financial position is always in view, no matter how many line items you've added.

The problem we fixed

Imagine you're on site at the end of a tenancy, phone in hand, working through a list of deductions — carpet replacement, cleaning, a broken door hinge. On desktop, the right-hand sidebar keeps a live tally: deposit held, amount claimed, amount to return, and a bright warning if you're about to over-deduct.

On mobile, that sidebar stacked below your claim lines. You wouldn't see the warning until you scrolled past everything you'd already entered. By then, you'd added a £500 carpet claim against a £600 deposit — and the over-deduction was already there, invisible.

What we shipped

A compact sticky bar now lives at the very top of the page on mobile, showing:

Deposit: £600  |  Claimed: £500  |  Return: £100

• The Return figure turns red the moment your claims exceed the deposit.
• The over-deduction warning banner surfaces right inside the bar — no scrolling required.
• On desktop (≥ lg), nothing changes. The sidebar you already know is still there.

How it works under the hood

The bar reads from financials — the same data object that drives the desktop sidebar — so there's zero performance overhead. It's a purely additive UI element: the three-column desktop layout is completely untouched.

This is part of our ongoing commitment to making the deposit deduction workflow fair and transparent at every step — including when you're standing in a property with a phone in your hand.
