Mls 2.9.1
Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2008 10:52 pm
MLS 2.9.1 will download during your next Send/Receive. (Sure wish we had a better name for it than "Send/Receive", but that's for another thread.)
The reported changes in 2.9.1 are...
It's the last item I would like to address. I have some financial institutions with the same name, but different mailing addresses that I occasionally send checks to from the FO fund, so I leave the address fields blank. The same applies to LDS Family Services. It depends on which facility a member attends as to where a check would be sent. Since they can't have identical names in the payee database, do I call them "LDS Family Services 1", "LDS Family Services 2", and so on? That would look pretty funny printed on the check. The only solution I see would be to change the address on-the-fly each time a check needs to be printed.
I guess I should play with the test database and see which of the four payee categories this applies to before I go sounding off too loudly. Perhaps it's only meant for "Member of unit" payees. It just doesn't appear that way in the change description.
EDIT: OK, I see what's going on. You can continue to save what you want in the payee database. I was mistaken. However, MLS now requires an address (or allows you to change an existing address) during the confirmation screen prior to printing each check.
The reported changes in 2.9.1 are...
- New messages in the temple recommend entry section of MLS help prevent users from entering the same recommend number for more than one member.
- The line spacing of the Individual Ordinance Summary (IOS) now reduces the number of reports that are longer than one page.
- For payee information, completing the address fields is now required.
