    You can print all the worksheets. Thank goodness. And even though it only shows the invoices for the last three months, it still has the information for the entire year, and those are included

      Woo hoo - I logged in today and everything transferred over! Now to learn how to use it... I plan to stick with MMKPro until the end of Dec then start with KK in Jan. Hopefully...

        I did find where to do the W10's....under reports. I think you can still edit 2016. I have to much to add!

          At the training meeting they said they are interchangeable for now. What you put in one goes into the other.

            Watch your data

            Yes, all of my stuff finally transferred over. But all of my kids that were withdrawn in MM Pro were NOT withdrawn in KK, and there is NO WAY for me to withdraw them because there is no "withdraw" button. I cannot enter any new payment information. New invoices do not auto-fill with the billing information and the number of hours for a given time frame; I guess we have to figure it all out by hand and fill it in ourselves.

            All of my kids transferred over as Male, white and Hispanic, even the girls. Two kids transferred over with no parent information at all. (One of my kids transferred over with the mother as the primary payer even though it is a custody case and we only deal with the dad. So all of the invoices for the whole year transferred over as if the mom had paid, how am I supposed to get tax information for the dad?) None of the medical and dental information is being saved. One of the contacts for one of the kids is showing up on the records for EVERY SINGLE KID as an emergency contact.

            The program ASSUMES that the mother is primary guardian and also primary payer during a data migration. It also did not migrate my vehicle data, and MM has completely locked me out from that information, so I have no idea what to enter. The expenses I have entered in MM so far do not equal the dollar amount of what migrated to KK.

            I have a kid that I had in the past that I will be watching over Christmas, but there is no way to make his file active again. I guess once withdrawn, it is permanent. Demographic information for the child cannot be changed. My time-space percentage is WAY off, as in KK has 20% and MM has 59%.

              The reason for the switch from MM to KK

              The reason, as explained to me by a rep from KK, is because of the new food program rules starting in October 2017. They were unable to update MM to include the new whole grain, etc. requirements because it is written on an obsolete programming language. So they had to start over with a more modern programming language and try to include the features they could from MM. Yes, it ****s, but it is not the fault of MM, it is the fault of the USDA food program. Ironic that they are complicating our lives once again after denying us an increase in reimbursement and even taking money away from us. All food program sponsors will be required to migrate to KK by October 2017 or lose their funding. Which means that we will all be able to have our accounting and meal programs on the same platform. Half of it doesn't work right, and it's really cumbersome and unfriendly, but it will all be in one place.

                MissAnn, You're lucky, or they lied to you. I am completely locked out of changing ANY information in MM. I can't add the 2 new kids I just enrolled, and I can't access my vehicle information to update mileage.

                  Yes, but it doesn't fill in the parent's name or address. You have to do it by hand.

                    Parent credits

                    If any parents had credit balances with you in MM, those amounts have been wiped out and will need to be transferred over by hand. I am not sure how the record keeping would work for that, since the money was paid in 2016 but might not get applied until 2017. MM was set up in a way that it was automatically credited correctly.

                      I posted earlier, and I wanted to clarify. I am locked out of the MM Kids Pro subscription that I paid for. I can still make changes and update information on the free MM Kids program provided by my food program sponsor. Once you migrate over to KK, your subscription is transferred to your KK account, and your MM Kids Pro access is restricted.

                        I sent out invoices and parents received them. Although it shows a balance there is an amount due when they try to pay it says their account balance is $0. Most parents are not coming this week and next week I have my paid vacation. So now I had to tell all the parents who are going to be here that they need to send checks in the mail. I did write in a ticket and apparently I need to wait my turn for them to call me. I'm wondering how long that will take since so many people are having problems.

                          I can only get into parts of mine now. I know I can't send invoices from MMK. My Subscription is still in effect too.

                            Is anyone having problems sending out invoices and parents being able to pay from them? Also can anyone check this out… Click on home and then my site. Look at the box that says provider detail… Then look at each pay edit status. Mine says pending. Just wondering if anyone else's says the same thing. Also the invoices have the name of the place where the person works instead of their real name. Parents are not able to pay because it says their balance is zero. On my end everything looks correct… Invoices are sent in the name of the parent and they are all marked as unpaid with a balance due.

                              I finally have all my invoices working correctly. I had to do a "ticket" and today it just started working without me fiddling with it. ANYWAY! I had a parent pay $180 for 2 weeks.....they are $86/week and they pay cash. It would not make a credit. This means they need to pay me the exact amount or I need to make change.

                                My parents are clicking on their invoice and can't find where to pay it online? I can't either, this is frustrating! I would make a ticket but I know they won't respond in a timely manner.

                                Also I had three recurring invoices set up and they all didn't make a new invoice (when it was set for today)!
