Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
Our unit, as many do, uses an accounting software to track expenses and budgets. After a few years of doing our best to keep the Payment Logs in sync as much as possible, I think we have come to the conclusion this separate, manual process is just too much of a burden and generally is a losing battle. These experiences paired with the information that the current iteration will not be migrated to ScoutBook Plus, has lead us to decide to disable it and use other means to communicate payment information with families.
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find out how to go about turning this feature off for our units but I am not finding that information. Is this possible or are we going to have to settle for having to make manual adjustments to just zero out everyone’s log? Ideally it would be a much less confusing choice to just make it disappear.
@BrianStockton- the payment logs will be migrated to scoutbook plus and there is no way to turn that feature off. The best approach is to zero everything out anc use what you are using outside of scoutbook
@Stephen_Hornak Thank you for your quick response! My apologies for misunderstanding. I had come across a couple threads where I thought it had been shared that payment logs would not be migrated, rather it would be a new (and improved) version with similar functionality.
Thank you for your time and all you’re doing for scouting!
@BrianStockton- no problem. The payment data will be migrated and the look will of course be different as it is the new code. But I would agree that juggling two systems for financial data is prone to issues. If your external app is working for you and providing what you need then by all means stay with that.
