Blog post added by Chadd Blanchard OA LodgeMaster Users,On Tuesday, January 2, 2019 the LodgeMaster team was made aware of a possible issue with the new automatic BSA Verification released in version 4.2.0 of the Lodge Client. After extensive testing, the LodgeMaster team has identified an issue with one part the BSA Verification process. Beginning at midnight on January 1, 2019 the BSA Registration Status began showing as Not Active for almost all members. This is due to a everyone’s registration expiring in the BSA’s systems upon entering a new calendar year and a glitch in the API that is not sending us the expired registrations. Until unit and council charters are processed, BSA Registration Status will come back as not active. When running the BSA Verification process, verification of BSA ID, Gender, and Date of Birth will still work correctly, and YPT statuses and dates will be updated. The LodgeMaster team has been in contact with the BSA API team to resolve the issue as soon as possible and get the additional data we need to correctly show if a member has an active registration. As soon as we have the issue fixed, we will let everyone know.Thank you for your patience while we work through this issue with the new BSA API integration. We are working to have this issue resolved as soon possible.Thank you,OA LodgeMaster LeadershipChadd, Mike, Rob View Online
