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.
In the OG version of Scoutbook I can see the link for the “Needs Purchasing report” however when select that option it will cycle for a bit then it returns me to my dashboard as a Den Leader. I am also Cubmaster and COR delegate.
I need to run a purchase order and a print form for the beltloop advancements. My awards banquet is tomorrow evening.
Can someone assist and or run and provide the needs awarded report for me ASAP.
@AaronJestrab looks like a membership lapsed for you and ended your admin position - the fastest fix is to have another unit admin add it back - I will set a sync but that might take 24 hours.
I am having the same issue as of 4.1.25. I can run the Needs awarding and Needs approval but can’t run a needs purchasing and then an advancement report.
There seem to be several different reasons that have come up in the various threads. The ones I have seen include action by another unit admin, lapses in registration, and some unspecified issue on the back-end that I understand was reported, but I can’t recall seeing whether it was fixed or not.
When did your Pack Admin role end? Is there a message listed under the Optional Notes section?
You should be able to see this by looking in
Scoutbook → My Dashboard → My Account → My Positions
then scrolling to the ended Pack Admin position to see what the date and message (if any) are. That may help you and the SUAC folks in diagnosing the issue. That’s my go-to whenever things (most often my MBC role) seem to have spontaneously disappeared.
As Stephen (and Dononvan further up) have noted, the fastest way to get it restored (assuming it was caused by a bug) is to ask another Pack Admin to restore it, rather than waiting on the bug fix to be released.
