For professional associations, the members are individuals. The billing information is kept on the professional membership screen.
This is the Members Id number. The computer automatically assigns the id number. The name is at the top of the screen in the blue section of this bitmap.
This field represents the Member's type, for example, a "PM" for Professional Member.
SAMS auto-fills this information from the individuals first screen.
This is the Members status and status reason description. For example, "A" for active, "I" for inactive, "T" for terminated, and “D” for delete. SAMS will globally change all active members who have not paid to inactive by clicking on Tools, Members, and selecting Inactivate/Terminate/Delete program. This is a great marketing tool! You may send a letter to all inactive members, and ask why they haven’t rejoined.
This field shows the current bill month for this member and the current year. All members are billed by a bill month. For the associations that bill only once a year, you will give all active members the same bill month. For the associations that bill on the member’s anniversary date, you give them the bill month their membership expires.
Enter an "S" if the member will be billed with a statement. Most members are billed this way.
Enter the frequency at which you are going to bill this member, for example, enter "A" for annual, "Q" for quarterly, and "M" for monthly.
SAMS will default the dues amount based on the dues codes entered from the next screen.
This user defined field can be used to track voluntary dues that members may pay.
This is a sub total of the amount that will be billed to the member. This is the total payment amount due, based off from the frequency you entered above.
These fields are used for bank drafts. This is the Member's bank account number and the bank routing number.
