Example of deleting a CM member If a customer record in QuickBooks has any recorded transactions, this default action will not be successful in deleting the QuickBooks customer. However, you may wish to Clear Item from List.
Example of adding a new CM member Take note of the Member Status column before adding a new record to QuickBooks. If you have decided that Prospective or Non-Members will not be added to QuickBooks, then change the Synchronization Action to Clear Item from List. If a customer record already exists in QuickBooks for this new member, do not perform the default action of adding the record. Instead, click view comparison edit screen and click Find a Match.
Example of changing member name If a QuickBooks record already exists with this name, (either in the Customer or Vendor list), an error will display when copying the name change into QuickBooks (error 3100). Determine if another distinct customer truly exists in QuickBooks. If not, you may have a vendor listed in QuickBooks with this same name. You may want to change the name of the vendor in QuickBooks. One suggestion would be to change the vendor name to include a dash v(-v) at the end of the vendor name. For example: A Rental Place-v. Reprocess the ChamberMaster synchronization action and it will now be able to complete the name change (new member addition).
Example of change from active to dropped Any membership status change in ChamberMaster will be marked and displayed in the QB Updates list. The QuickBooks status choice Active coincides with the ChamberMaster status Active. QuickBooks status Inactive coincides with the ChamberMaster status selections of Non-member, Courtesy, Prospective, and Dropped/Inactive. Write-offs or voiding of invoices must be done on your own.
