Change Group - After Renewals Prior to Membership Start

Modified on Fri, 12 Jul at 9:40 AM

Process a membership Group change after renewals have been run (invoiced) and prior to the membership Group Start Date. This solution is only for members that have an unpaid invoice (full owing amount). Please contact MiClub Support to change a group for members with a paid invoice.


Quick Guide


Step 1 - Navigate to the member record Memberships page

Step 2 - Unlink Invoice from the renewing membership group

Step 3 - Reverse the invoice (Important: match the accounting date with the date on the original renewal invoice)

Step 4 - Remove the Renewal, OR Delete the renewing group (Future starting group)

Step 5 - Complete the group change on the current (active) group

Step 6 - Invoice the new group (remember to check the Accounting, Due and Defaulted dates on new the invoice)



Step by Step Guide


Step 1 - Navigate to the member record Memberships page



Step 2 - Unlink the invoice from the renewing group

  • Select the Unlink Invoice option from the Action drop menu on the renewing membership that has the Membership Status Staring On... date
  • Select the renewal invoice (plus all other invoices or credit notes that appear in the list) and click Unlink button





Step 3 - Reverse the renewal invoice 

  • Navigate to the member's subscription account
  • Select the Create Reversal option from the Invoice Reference Action drop menu

Important notes: 

  • Ensure the reversal accounting date matches the accounting date on the original renewal invoice
  • Create Reversal is the preferred option as this leaves an audit trail
  • The Document Status for all membership Groups that had charges on the reversed invoice will change to 'Invoice Required' - no action is required until Step 6 below




Step 4 - Remove the renewed membership change, OR Delete the renewing group (future starting group)

  • Navigate back to the member's current memberships, then action either Option 1 or Option 2;


  • Option 1: 
  • Expand the Scheduled Memberships Changes display menu
  • Click the Action menu for the Change Type Renewal, and select Remove Change, OR



  • Option 2: 
  • Select the Delete option from the Action drop menu for the renewing membership that has the Membership Status Staring On... date




Step 5 - Complete the group change on the current (active) group


  • Select the Change Group option from the Action drop menu on the current active membership
  • Set the change Effective Date to the start of the new membership year
  • Select the new membership group from the Changing To membership groups list
  • Select the Change Group button





Step 6 - Invoice the new Group (remember to check the Accounting, Due and Defaulted dates on new the invoice) 


  • From the Membership Change Taskbar select Create Membership Invoice, OR click on the Invoice Required link for the new membership
  • Create the invoice for the new membership group, and combine membership documents where charges for secondary memberships i.e. storage and hire facilities, were itemized on the original renewal invoice reversed in Step 3
