Do Not Import Both OALM and BSA IDs
OA LodgeMaster will only allow you to import the OALM ID or the BSA ID field in a given import session. You will get the error below if you attempt to import both fields simultaneously.
If a member only has an OALM ID associated with his record, that member must be imported separately from the members with BSA IDs if you choose to use the BSA ID field for importing.
Import BSA Person IDs
Import Scouting Member IDs
This can be used to import BSA Person Scouting Member IDs in bulk.
The spreadsheet file you upload must have both the OALM ID and BSA Scouting Member ID columns. Any other columns will be ignored during import.
An easy way to produce a spreadsheet is to set up filters in the Member grid to list the members whose BSA Scouting Member IDs you need to import, ensure both the OALM ID and BSA ID columns are Scouting Member ID column is present, and then export the Grid Data. On the Export screen, there is an option to Export Unique Member ID: choose Yes on that. This will add the OALM ID column to the exported data.
Your staff adviser or other council employee with access to ScoutNET can then match members and fill in their BSA Scouting Member ID numbers on the resulting file export.
Once you have the BSA Scouting Member ID numbers filled in, use the Import BSA Person Scouting Member IDs tool to upload the file back into LodgeMaster and update the member records.
