Hi,
I’m a new CM and need to request dues from scouts. It looks like there’s a significant disparity between what SB says our cash balances are and what the bank reflects. I’m pretty sure there are LOTS of old old scouts that withdrew from the pack before paying dues, or that cash/check payments were never officially credited to the accounts. I’m working with our treasurer but he doesn’t know how to answer this.
Is there a way to just “reset” the payment logs to clear out old outstanding balances for scouts that are gone?
Ok I was afraid of that. Some of these entries go back years I think. I was hoping for a bulk “clear all accounts” option. I understand there’s no connection to a bank account and it’s easy enough to edit pack logs to correct the balance information, but the outstanding receivables is really ridiculous.
@BenMason - the one thing you can do is a single balancing entry but you would still have the individual scout entries showing an outstanding balance. This is bookkeeping/accounting fun.
Here I am trying to kick off scout fundraising accounts in my pack. We’ve historically only ever used it for dues and in the last few years not done any real scout account fundraising.
@BenMason - my apologies for not mentioning that. I have it installed on chrome but I am mostly a firefox user without the extension installed on firefox.
