📘 Detailed Instructions
Step 1: Access the Confirmation Screen

Large campaigns may take a moment to load all charges. Wait for complete loading before reviewing.

📋 Charge Review Checklist
For Each Line Item Verify:
- ✅ Member Name - Correct account being billed
- ✅ Charge Amount - Matches intended billing amount
- ✅ GAU Assignment - Proper accounting category
- ✅ Description - Clear and appropriate charge description
- ✅ Total Per Member - Sum of all charges is reasonable
Common Issues to Watch For:
- ❌ Duplicate charges for the same member

Step 3: Handle Any Issues
If You Find Problems:
Minor Issues (Wrong amounts/descriptions):

Major Issues (Wrong members/significant errors):
- Cancel the wizard and review campaign setup

Individual Member Issues:

- Note removed members for follow-up individual billing
Step 4: Confirm Charges
Confirmation Options:
-
Individual Confirmation:

-
Bulk Confirmation:

You cannot proceed unless every charge line has a checkmark. The system will show an error if any remain unconfirmed.
