New quarterly report - MLS screen shots
Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2014 9:31 am
There have been several questions about what clerks will need to do to complete the new quarterly reports. Here are screen shots from MLS that should give you a feel for what will be needed with the new reports. These changes are in MLS 3.7.0, which we expect to release later this afternoon. You will not see these screens until April 1 when it is time to complete the report for Q1 2014.
There are some changes to the process. In the past, MLS would generate the baseline statistics (number of members in each category) when the quarterly report was run at the beginning of the month. Beginning Q1 2014, the baseline statistics are generated at Church headquarters early on the morning of the first day after the end of the quarter. Those will be processed by MLS on the first send/receive after the quarter ends. Once that data is received by MLS, the quarterly report will be available for editing.
