Interactive Reporting

 Data Genie

  • Sync to Reporting Database - Data Genie views.

Use Case: Previously, Members could make a payment toward one A/R account, and any additional payment application had to be manually performed.  Now, with added functionality, Members can select how much to pay toward each A/R account, and cash receipts will be applied appropriately in Office.  For example, Sally Member has monthly dues but in addition, also has a balance due for her HOA fees. When Sally goes to pay her bill she can now select how much goes to each A/R account to pay off her balance due.  Note: Proper settings must be turned on in Paycloud for this feature to be appropriately applied.

PayCloud Admin Settings: For Multi-AR payment capabilities, ensure the AR Accounts Payments setting is enabled in Club Settings, as seen below. AR Account Display Names can also be edited from this menu.

System Settings

Membership - Print Member Statement Wizard

  • Enhanced User experience by allowing the option to Use Billing Member’s AR Balance on statement emails to spouse and/or dependent(s).

Now, with increased functionality, Users can choose to select the Use Billing Member’s AR Balances on Statement Email setting. If setting is enabled, when creating an email template during the Print Member Statements Wizard, any place where AR Balances are listed in the email, will now show the Billing Member’s balance instead.

PayCloud Users

  • Enhanced User experience by showing the Member’s Credit Book balance in Paycloud by the Transaction date of the batch in CMA instead of the Created Date.
