Improved member credit limit setup

It is now possible to enable and disable a Members credit limit and enter a reason for the change, along with the ability to add a new credit limit. Any changes are recording in the member's notes and history for audit tracking.

Update credit limits for multiple members

Updating multiple member credit limits can now be processed as an action in the Batch Administration Manager. Allowing bulk editing of credit limit and on account permission will save considerable time for the user who currently has to do it one member at a time. Users can now disable on account use, but leave the credit limit intact (previously Users had to set the limit to 0 to disable use). Finally, any changes are recorded in Notes/History so that credit limit history is tracked for the member.

Advanced Find on account enhancements

Advanced Find has been extended with a new ‘OnAccount’ section. Queries can be created to extract lists of members based on their OnAccount status and when they last performed an OnAccount transaction. Commonly used queries can be saved for future re-use without modification as a new search type is available where “This Month”, “Last Month” and “Days Old” (number of days since) can be selected, the dates used will always be relative to the current date and time.. For example you may want to find all the members with transactions for the previous month and send them an email to say their statement is available to view or print in their WebAccess area.

Simplified on account contributions

Primary members and organisations can pay for charges incurred by associate members. The setup screen has been simplified so that the choice is from 100% or 0%.

ClubSAFE and on account

ClubSAFE is SDA's technology that allows your FrontDesk to continue working even if connection to the remote database is lost. This ensures you can continue to operate check-in, POS and bookings until your connection is restored with no impact on your operations. ClubSAFE has been modified to allow 'on account' transactions to be carried out when in offline mode.

Product/Module: ClubCentric Membership & Admissions
Product Area(s): Collections Manager

ClubCentric Collections Manager contains integrated BACS approved software technology to enable you to submit and receive BACS collections files without leaving the ClubCentric interface. For customers who already have BACS software from Albany Software Limited, a connector is now available that will allow BACS processing to be completed in ClubCentric using Albany BACS software.

New Albany payment method

It is now possible to add a BACS direct debit instruction to a member from a UK site for the purposes of electronic funds transfer using the Albany payment system rather than ClubCentric's integrated BACS software. The method is added in the same way as for a UK BACS or Bank of Ireland account.

Once installed and configured the Albany BACS connector will operate in much the same way as the integrated BACS processing in ClubCentric. Using the connector you will be able to:

• Create and send payment submission files to the BACS service server.
• Filter submission files based on dates and processing status.
• Find and delete unprocessed submissions.
• Save and view error reports.
• Import and automatically process ADDACS, ARUCS, ARUDD and AUDDIS reports.
• Supports Direct Debit instructions and cancellations, payment refunds and credits, and re-presented files.

Please contact Sales if you would like to purchase the Albany Connector for ClubCentric.

For customers who do not want to purchase or install BACS software, an option exists to run your BACS operation using the software on a secure hosted server. This new service connects to a secure online BACS server for you to submit and receive your files as normal. This provides you with a number of benefits:

• No upfront costs – you pay a low monthly fee and a small charge per transaction.
• Nothing to install – the software resides on a secure data centre server and is automatically updated. Fees also include support and maintenance.
• Existing BACS users – use the hosted service as a backup for your existing server installation. If your server fails you can easily switch over to your hosted service and complete your BACS submission with no interruption to your operations.
