In this article, you will learn how to handle penalties that have already been assigned to a member, and how to either remove or refund them depending on their status.

Written by Ronny Christensen

Important

  • If the penalty has not been charged yet, it can be removed directly

  • If the penalty has already been invoiced and charged, it must be refunded

1. Penalty not yet charged

If the penalty is still active and has not been paid, it can be removed directly from the member.

How to do it:

  1. Go to the member profile

  2. Open the “Billing” tab

  3. Go to the “Penalties” section

In this section, you can see:

  • The time of the penalty

  • The reason for the penalty

  • Whether the penalty has been charged or not

  1. Find the relevant penalty

  2. Click the three dots (⋮) next to the penalty

  3. Select remove/delete penalty

2. Penalty already charged

If the penalty has already been invoiced and paid, it cannot be deleted.

Instead, you must refund it via the invoice.

How to do it:

  1. Find the invoice on the member

  2. Open the invoice

  3. Locate the penalty on the invoice line items

  4. Click the three dots (⋮) next to the penalty

  5. Select “Refund”

This will return the amount to the member.

Result

  • Uncharged penalties can be removed directly

  • Charged penalties must be refunded via the invoice

  • The member’s financial record updates automatically depending on the action

Tip

Always check the penalty status before making changes to ensure you use the correct method.
