Transfer Patron Account Data

This functionality is only available to customers who have purchased Campus Point of Sale as add-on functionality.

Classic View: Point of Sale > Account Maintenance > Account Management Wizard

Search Terms: Account Management

This option transfers patron(s) account data to a new or existing account. For example, when individual accounts move to a family account or a family account separates into individual accounts.

Account details like adjustments, deposits, transactions and balances are tied to the patron(s) and transfer to the new/existing account to which they are transferred.

After the patron's data is transferred, if there aren't any patrons left on the account, the Account Management Wizard deletes the empty account from the database.
