MBR655 – Renewal Notices

This batch process prints renewal notices for proforma and active membership renewal orders, whether manually renewing an order from Order Entry or via the ORD650 process. If you do NOT want this process to pick up Active orders, add an advanced filter of Line Status = Proforma.

If you want to run this batch process for a specific renewal notice count, you can use the Advanced Job Parameter filter: order_detail.renewal_notice_count. For example, if you want to print renewal notices for orders in which a renewal notice has already been sent, the filter would be order_detail.renewal_notice_count = 1.

Running this batch process will update the Renewal Notice Count on the Full Line Item Details screen for the membership order, as shown below.

This batch process only picks up orders that have an original order number.

Additional parameters were added in the 7.2.1 release to accommodate Address Change Service functionality. Please see Address Change Service for more information.
