Payroll-Membership Linkage

[NorwalkUMC]

Is it possible to link the employees payroll contact data (address, etc.) to the membership module so that when an employee who is a member of the church with an envelop number has an address change that is entered by the membership secretary the update will be reflected in the payroll module. Same question, when adding new employees to the payroll when they are members of the church. We can look up the envelop number now, but not the address, phone, etc.

Thanks,
Dennis

I don't believe so. The only link from the payroll module's database to the contribution module is the envelope number, much in the same way the only link from Membership to Contributions is through the envelope number.

That said, perhaps they could create a linkage to the Membership Module in the same way they link to the it from the Accounts Receivable. However, I believe that is a one way data retrieval and there is no direct linkage/updating of the Accounts Receivable database when a change is made in Membership.


Perhaps in the next version of the software.

Similar question re: Accounts Payable / Vendor contact data linking with Membership data.

I thought I had read somewhere that the 2 were connected, but I've not found out how to do it. The situation comes up when I write a reimbursement check to a member and set them up as a vendor in Accounts Payable. I'm lazy enough that I'd prefer not to have to re-type the contact info (or if they have a change of address or get a new tel# or whatever).
