How do I make a Brother a Members Dues Remitted?
The Dues Screen automatically gets updated by the ‘MEMBERS’ ‘Activity’ screen for Member Dues Remitted and PrePaid members. This is read-only (you can’t change it in the Dues Screen) because the MDR is an activity. This must be the case since the Grand Lodge does not receive per-capita for members how had their dues remitted by their respective lodge. Hence, you must add a ‘MDR’ activity in the Membership screen as follows: • Open Member Maintenance. • Search for and display the Brother who is to receive a MDR activity. • Click on the Activity Tab. • Click ‘NEW’ • In the ‘Activity List Box’ enter ‘MDR’ • Enter a date and a processing year for the activity. (MDR is only valid on Dues screens and Grand Lodge records for one year. It does not carry over.) • Save the activity. • Close Member Maintenance and open the Dues Maintenance, the Brother will now display as paid and have a check mark in the ‘MDR’ column.
