Waiving or Unwaiving a Payment

What happens when I waive a payment?

When you waive a payment, the status of the payment changes to Waived. Waived payments cannot be manually paid until they are unwaived.

Will a client accrue a package if a payment is waived?

If you waive a payment and the membership's Recurring Fee is configured to accrue a package, you have the option to generate the accrued services.

Which payments can not be waived?

The following cannot be waived:

  • A past payment on a frozen membership
  • A past payment that was Paid
  • A payment in a Pending state
  • A payment on the same day that it went into an Error state
  • Any payment on an Expired/Terminated membership
  • A past payment that was refunded

What happens when I unwaive a waived payment?

Unwaiving a payment changes the payment status back to Not Billed. If any package items were accrued as a result of the waive, those accruals are reversed. Note the following:

  • A payment can only be unwaived on the same day it was waived.
  • A payment cannot be unwaived if an associated accrued item was already redeemed.

  1. Locate the client in Membership Manager.
  2. Select the Payments tab.
  3. Select a membership to view from the drop-down. The payment details for that membership appear in the Membership Recurring Payment Schedule section.

  5. When finished, select Save.
