Chewsday Finance

1. Co-ordinators

Communicate and follow up with group members and the rest of the Chewsday collective to keep the team on track.


2. Importing bank data – Requires a Bank Australia signatory

• Transactions with correct username automatically match in lettuce share database.
• Manually check unmatched payments/deposits.

There is a transactions spreadsheet located in the 'drive' section of the account so everyone can access it (see below for gmail login details).The purpose of this document is so that everyone can see which transactions from the bank have been imported in the payments page of lettuceshare. This document also allows for comments to be made, for example if we were unable to trace the owner of a payment we would place it in the comments.

There is a separate document with instructions on how to import data from the Bank Australia account.


3. Correct member invoices and Monitor Chewsday Finance email account

• The email address is chewsdayfinance@gmail.com (ask another member for the password).
• Chewsday members who have been charged incorrectly will email finance asking for their invoices to be corrected.

Usually required to check email once or twice a week, on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Access to ‘Invoices’ and ‘Manager’ pages/tabs in lettuceshare is required for this.

1) How to correct/change the invoice:

• Log into Lettuceshare with your log in.
• Go to the Manager page. (use the drop down box on the top right hand corner of page)
• Fill in user name.
• Click on the Date box and add date of purchase.
• Click Search.
• Alter the incorrect purchase. (as you would when entering boxes on packing night)
• Click Submit.

2) Send a new Invoice:

• Go to Invoices page. (use the drop down box on top right hand corner of page)
• Click on correct user name.
• Date box will appear at top of page - pick purchase date of invoice that was changed.
• Next to the date box you will see two options for who to send the new invoice to (yourself and the member). You can send the invoice to yourself to double check it's correct if you want.
• Click Send and you're done!
• Respond to Member email informing them of changes and new invoice.
• Move email to Actioned folder.

3) Managing other emails:

• Read, sort, and forward email coming into the finance email address.
• Once actioned move email to correct folder.
• If you open an email that has been directed at someone else, mark it as unread so they don't miss it next time they check the account.

4. Check for members with overdue payments

Call or email the members with outstanding amounts over $200 weekly/fortnightly. Accounts that remain unpaid can be made inactive. Specific document in the drive with instructions. Consider a way to track accounts owing a lesser amount but that remain unpaid for more than 2 - 3 weeks. Members have left without notifying us an owe $50 - $150
