Delegate Registration
Delegate memberships should be used when a member account wishes to add a new delegate contact immediately to an active membership.
If the member wishes to wait for renewal to add the delegate, this entity should not be used.
Register a delegate
1. Start the membership of a new delegate
- Select the Delegate Memberships page from the side menu (1).
- Open the Create Delegate Membership (3) form by clicking on the
+ New
button (2) in the toolbar.
2. Choose an account and the membership fee on which to add the new delegate.
The contribution must be active, pending or paid. If it is pending or paid, the delegate's membership will take place when the membership fee is activated.
3. Create or choose the new contact
If you want to add an existing contact as a delegate:
- Use the magnifying glass (1)
- Search the contact to add (2) and select it.
If you want to add a new contact,
Press the magnifying glass (1) and simply select the option + Create Contact (2) to bring up the form Quick creation: Contact (3).
Fill in the compulsory fields of the form (4) and to save everything (5).
4. Choose the type of pro-rata adjustment
Options | Description |
---|---|
None | Applies the total fee for a full period |
Automatic | Calculates the fee based on the number of months remaining in the period, rounded to the nearest month |
Amount | Allows you to specify the amount to be billed |
Percentage | Allows you to specify the percentage of normal costs that will be invoiced |
5. Register the delegate membership.
Choose the Save option in your toolbar. This option is preferred over Save and Close since the first will allow you to stay in the delegate membership process and complete the final step while the second will take you back to the main Delegate registration menu.
6. Bill membership
To bill for delegate membership, press the Bill button in your toolbar. An invoice will be created and sent to the customer (it could also be pending transfer to the accounting system depending on the parameters you have configured during the implementation of Membri).
What's next?
Here are the different steps that Membri automatically performs in the background:
Membership is placed on hold.
The contact is added to the other contacts in the account while waiting for the invoice to be paid.
When the invoice is paid and the membership fee is active, the contact will be placed in the member contacts of the account and the delegate membership will be considered paid.
Reset delegate membership
If an error is made on a billed delegate membership, but the bill has not been paid, it is possible to reset the delegate membership to make changes. Then press the Reset button to cancel the invoice. You will then be able to modify the membership and re-invoice it afterwards.
