The DUESPAID - Dues Paid Statement Letters menu option is used by the affiliates to provide information to members regarding the amount of dues that has been paid during a specific time period.

The dues paid information is sent out in letter form. The letter is created using the AFFLETTERMN - Affiliate Letter Maintenance menu option. (Refer to Chapter 131, AFFLETTERMN - Affiliate Letter Maintenance.)

The DUESPAID menu option allows you to create dues paid statement letters, labels and formatted receipts.

You can, optionally, charge members for the letters. If you wish to charge for the letters, you need to set up a finance code for the letter charge.

This chapter explains how to create member dues paid statement letters.

Select the DUESPAID menu option to create the dues paid statement letters.
