How to access the financial view ?
A member's financial tab is accessible from the member file, click on the three dots and select Financial.
Then you get to this window :
Once in the financial tab, you can get informed about the member's main financial indicators.
What about the turnover generated by the member since registration?
Does the member owe money to the club or does the club owe money to the member ?
Is the member still a debtor ?
Some examples to explain the gaps between the amount to be paid and the amounts to be used :
In the case of a £100- invoice with future dues, the amount to be paid will be £100 and the late amount will be £0.
In the case of a £19- invoice in late payment for one month and a £50- credit note to be used, the amount to be used will be 50-19=£31 and the late amount will be £19. If you use the £50-credit note on the invoice, the amount to be used will be £31 and the late amount will be £0.
In the case of a £19- invoice in late payment for one month and a £5- credit note to be used, the amount to be paid will be £14 and the late amount will be £19. If you use the £5- credit note on the invoice, the amount to be paid will be £14 and the late amount will be £14.

How to use the filters in the financial tab correctly?
Using the first filter, you can show the elements according to the period of the history in the member file:
Useful information: how do dates work ?
'Last month' /Last week' : if it is January, it is the period from the 1st to the 31st December (included) which is taken into account. It is the same with 'Last week', it is Thursday this week, it is the period from Monday to Sunday (included) of last week which will be taken into account.
'Current month' / 'This week' : if it is the 5th January, it is the period from the 1st to the 5th January included which will be taken into account. The same for 'This week', it is Thursday, it is the period from this Monday to this Thursday included.
'The last 3 months' / 'The last 6 months' : if it is January, it is the whole months of October, November and December and the part of January already past which will be taken into account, for the last 6 months, July, August and September will also be taken into account.
Using the second filter, you can also show the elements according to the type of operation in the member file:
Among the filters, two of them are important for a good daily management:
- Current operations correspond to invoices, credit notes, payments and refunds (including operations to be settled, except terminations and payment incidents).
- Cancellations only are all types of termination (invoices, credit notes, payments, etc).
- Incidents only are payment incidents : for example, an incident for a Direct Debit rejection.
- All the operations enable to show the whole financial elements existing on the member's member file.
The last filter enables to target according to the type of elements : invoice, credit note, payment, incident or refund. Once selected the type of element, you can filter according to the item name. For example, if you want to get to 12-month memberships, you will enter 12 months in the field appearing after selecting the element :
How to read the filtered indicators ?
According to the chosen filters, the elements will appear in the space provided just below :
So you can see the number and amount of invoices and credit notes corresponding to the filters and the payments, refunds and incidents (current or past).
Warning
If you have selected several filters, the criteria of these filters get added to give a result corresponding to all filters. So the indicators indicated in this part of the financial view exactly correspond to the filters you have indicated, as much detailed as possible (example: if you enter '12 months' in the field 'Search in an invoice', you will only see the elements containing lines which show the mention '12 months').
Warning
Sometimes you may see an alert appearing with a tooltip at the level of the indicator of the late invoices and the amount due of the incident invoices. Indeed, those two amounts do not take into account incidents which are partially settled, however if you have some, the 'Alert' on the top right of the indicator enables you to know about it and you can go to the incident and find out the information.
How to analyse the detail of elements issued from the filters?
Clicking on the line of the appearing elements, you get to the detail.
When a payment is crossed on an invoice, it means that it is detached from it or has been cancelled. If, in addition, it is subject to an incident, the date of the incident will be precised in red.
How to find an invoice associated with the sale of an item/service in particular ?
From the financial menu in the member file, select the search arrow. Next, select the type of accounting subject you look for and indicate the name of the targeted item.
>Example #1 : You look for the invoices containing the item 'bottle of water".
>Example # 2 : You look for the invoices and credit notes related to the Full training membership.
How to easily find the elements requiring an action ?
This question refers to the invoices in progress, late or in incident, to credit notes to use and to payments to use.
Go to the financial tab in the member file and filter to show the operations to be settled from the beginning.
