(Illustration # 8, page 35).
Member or Payor – Prior to entering the receipt information,
you must search for a member or a payor.
Note: A payor is an individual or entity that is not
a member of the council (i.e., the Supreme
Council or state council). A payor can be added to
Member Billing on the Add a Payee/Payor screen
under Billing Information.
Once a search has been conducted, the results will
appear in the Search Results box to the right. Click on the
desired member or payor so that it is highlighted in a blue
banner. Click the Select button to populate the date and
member/payor in the Enter Receipt section on the bottom
of the screen. Then continue to enter the remaining
information.
Once the save button is clicked on the Dues Collection
Tool screen or the Enter Receipt screen, the transaction
is placed in pending status. Pending transactions can be
processed on the Pending Receipt screen.
A Report of Receipts is available under the Treasurer
Reports in the Print Center of Member Billing
(Illustrations # 9 & 10, pages 36 and 37). There are four
reports available: two for pending receipts and two for
posted receipts. Note that the posted receipts report will
display signature lines for the financial secretary and treasurer,
which will serve as a record that the treasurer
received these moneys.
Note: If the treasurer’s name does not display on
this report, add his data on the Council Officers—
Current Year screen in Member Management.
PROCESSING VOUCHERS FOR PAYMENT
After a bill has been properly approved for payment,
the financial secretary must initiate the procedure for
issuance of a check by the treasurer, which can be accomplished
under the Vouchers section of the Council Ledger
(Illustration # 11, page 38).
Member or Payee – Prior to entering the voucher information,
you must search for a member or a payee.
Note: A payee is an individual or entity that is not
a member of the council (i.e., the Supreme
Council or state council). A payee can be added to
Member Billing on the Add a Payee/Payor screen
under Billing Information.
Once a search has been conducted, the results will
appear in the Search Results box to the right. Click on the
desired member or payee so that it is highlighted in a blue
banner. Click the Select button to populate the date and
member/payee in the Enter Vouchers section on the
bottom of the screen. Then continue to enter the remaining
information.
Once the Save button is clicked on the Enter Vouchers
screen, the transaction is placed in pending status.
Pending transactions can be processed on the Pending
Vouchers screen.
A Report of Vouchers is available under the Treasurer
Reports in the Print Center of Member Billing
(Illustration #12, page 39). There are two reports available:
one for pending vouchers and one for posted vouchers.
Note that the Report of Vouchers will display signature
lines for the grand knight, financial secretary and
treasurer. This serves as a record that the treasurer is
authorized to issue a check.
Note: If the treasurer’s name does not display on
this report, add his data on the Council Officers—
Current Year screen in Member Management.
