Enhancements

Credit Book - Expiration Wizard

...

 

Classic Office

 Multi-AR

Please Note: This feature will only affect Clubs using PayCloud with Multi-AR accounts.

  • Enhanced functionality allows Members to choose the corresponding AR Account to pay for each balance due (in Paycloud), and have the payment applied to the proper account in Office.

Use Case: Approximately a year ago, the Credit Book Expiration Wizard was introduced, eliminating the ability to issue negative credit book (which was sometimes using to offset positive credit book balances).  Since then, however, eliminating aged negative credit book balances has been a challenge. With this enhancement, Clubs looking to reconcile and clean up their offsetting Credit Book balances in Office have the ability to expire negative credit book (as well as positive credit book).  Once expired, Credit Books will no longer populate in the Credit Book Expiration Wizard as active.

Please Note: Best Practice is to adjust the expiration date, and expire both the positive and negative offsetting credit book balances at the same time.

Notes - Change Log

...

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.
