MASSDUES - Mass Monthly Dues Entry

The MASSDUES menu option is used to enter counter dues paid "en masse". If, at your local or council meetings, many members give checks, etc. for dues, you can use this process as a quick or shortcut method to enter dues payments.

When this procedure is used, you only enter the member name or ID, payment amount, and method of payment for each member paying dues. You can then post the payments and, optionally, print receipts.

To enter multiple dues payments, select the MASSDUES menu option on the local processing menu.

MASSCHARGE - Mass Charges Entry

If you need to charge all of the members in your local a common charge, you do not have to enter a charge transaction for each member. You can have the system post a charge to all or selected members of the local.

As an example, you might want to post a $.25 charity donation charge to each member. You could post this charge monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc.

To do an automatic posting of a charge, set up the charge in the affiliate finance codes file (see Chapter 121, FINMAINT - Finance Code Maintenance), and then run the MASSCHARGE - Mass Charges Entry menu option. Charge transactions will be created and posted to all the members you specify.

To do mass charges, select MASSCHARGE from the local processing menu.
