Transferring a Meeting Registration

A meeting registration can be transferred to a new ship-to customer, to a different product, and/or to a new order.

 

If the order line you're transferring has a payment schedule with an Auto Pay Method of "Direct Debit", the system evaluates Order_Detail_EFT_Info for the order line being transferred and determines the following:

·       If the "Prenote Required" checkbox is selected on the Payment Schedule screen and the Prenote Date is not null, then the "Prenote Required" checkbox will NOT be selected on the new transferred order.

·       If the "Prenote Required" checkbox is selected on the Payment Schedule screen and the Prenote Date is null, then the "Prenote Required" checkbox will be selected on the new transferred order.

·       If the "Prenote Required" checkbox is NOT selected on the Payment Schedule screen, then the "Prenote Required" checkbox will NOT be selected on the new transferred order.

Transferring to a New Customer

A meeting registration may be transferred to a new ship-to customer, for example, if a company registers an employee for a meeting and the employee leaves the company. The company can then transfer the meeting registration to a new employee. When the meeting registration is transferred to a new ship-to customer, the original line item Line Status will be "Cancelled", the Fulfill Status will be "Transfer". If the "Xfer to New Order" checkbox is NOT checked, a new line item will be added to the original order with the newly added ship-to customer.

Transferring to a New Product

A meeting registration may be transferred to a new product. For example, if a customer registers for two sessions that occur at the same time, the session registration can be transferred to a different session to avoid the time conflict. When a meeting registration is transferred to a different product, the original line item Line Status will be "Active", the Fulfill Status will be "Transfer". If the "Xfer to New Order" checkbox is NOT checked, a new line item will be added to the original order with the newly added product.

Transferring to a New Order

A meeting registration may be transferred to a new order. Depending on your organization's business rules, if you transfer a meeting registration to a new customer or to a new product, you may want to create a new order, as opposed to adding a new line item to the existing/original order. When a meeting registration is transferred to a new order, a new order is created and will be displayed when the Order Transfer screen is closed. The original order will displays a Line Status of "Active" and a Fulfill Status of "Transfer".

The Bill-To = Ship-To checkbox displays and selected by default.

e.    If necessary, uncheck the Bill-To = Ship-To checkbox.

f.      If necessary, select the Reset Initial Start checkbox.
By default, this checkbox is selected when the order is transferred to a new ship-to customer. Checking this box will set the start date to the Transfer Date in the New Order section.

5.    If necessary, select the Reset Initial Start checkbox to set the start date to the Transfer Date in the New Order section.

6.    If any order lines have a market code, the Copy Market Code checkbox is checked by default. If necessary, uncheck this checkbox if you do not want to copy the market code to the transfer to order. If any order lines have an expired market code, the system will display an error and will not copy the market code to the transfer to order. If no order lines being transferred have a market code, this checkbox will be unchecked and disabled. As of 7.4.2, this checkbox is enabled if there is an active market code associated with the transfer-from order line. Additionally, if the market code has one or more subsystems and/or one or more products defined for it (in Mkt_Market_Detail), the transfer-to order line must have a product that matches the subsystem or product defined for the market code. If the market code is copied to the transfer-to order line, if a discount is associated with the market code, and if the order line qualifies for the discount, the discount is applied to the transfer-to order line.

7.    As of 7.6.1, the Copy Discount checkbox will be enabled if a discount exists on the order line being transferred if the discount is still active. If the discount being copied is not a manual discount, the order line created when the original order line is transferred must qualify for the discount. If the transfer is being prorated, the discount will also be prorated.

8.    From the Original Order section, the following information is read-only:

·            Begin Date: indicates the meeting start date.

·            End Date: indicates the meeting end date.

·            Currency: as of 7.5.2, indicates the currency on the order.

·            Prorate: as of 7.5.2, indicates whether the transfer-from order line will be prorated. Please note that proration does not apply to meeting products; therefore, this checkbox is read-only.

9.    From the New Order section, define the following applicable information:

a.    By default, the Transfer Date is set to today’s date. If necessary, select a different new order transfer date.

b.    By default, the New End Date is set to the end date of the original order. Review the new end date for any necessary changes.

c.    As of 7.5.0, if the "Xfer to Product" checkbox is checked, if the product to be used on the transfer-to order line is defined to "Allow Price Update" on the General Setup screen in Product Maintenance, and if the price to be created for the transfer-to order line is zero, enter the Price to be set on the transfer-to order line.

If you do NOT enter a price in this field, the system will default the line status to "Active" if the "Allow Price Update" checkbox on the General Setup screen in Product Maintenance of transfer-to product is checked.

d.    As of 7.5.2, if the "Xfer to New Order" checkbox is checked, the Currency drop-down is enabled. If necessary, change the currency. Please note that you can only change the currency if the product has NOT been defined in locked currency via the "Currency Code" drop-down on the General Setup screen in Product Maintenance.

e.    As of 7.5.2, the Prorate checkbox is read-only because proration does not apply to meeting products.

10.  From the New Rate Information section, if necessary, select a different Rate Structure and Rate Code.

11.  If any sub products exist for the current order, they will be displayed on the Additional Line(s) on Original Order tab. By default, all sub products are selected to be transferred.

As of 7.5.0, when the system creates the new, transfer-to order line(s), the system sets the line status based on the default line status defined for the org unit, and the system respects short-pay rules. If the short-pay rule is AR and some portion of the payment from the original order line is transferred to the new order line, the order line in the new order line will be activated. If the short-pay rule is reject, the line will stay proforma until the full payment is applied. If the user has not entered a value in the “Price” field when the product on the transfer-to order line is defined to allow direct price update and if the price on the transfer-to order line will be $0 because of the rate structure and rate code to be used, the system will display the following message: "One or more order lines to be created contain products with a price of $0 that have been defined to allow direct price update. If you don’t want an active order line to be created with a price of $0, please enter a price for the order line(s)".
