eMenuCHOICE Integration Guide

Data sent from ALIS to eMenuCHOICE

No longer will you have to add residents to both systems!

As you start to build out applicant profiles and move in residents in ALIS, the integration allows for the same exact information to be presented in eMenuCHOICE without burdening your team with duplicate entry. The same goes for changes to their records made in ALIS.

ALIS will automatically update eMenuCHOICE when any of the following occurs:

• Resident move-ins and move-outs
• Basic Information updated
• Health Profile updated
• On Leave starts and ends
• Photo updated
• Room assigned and unassigned
• Room assignment changed

Importing charges from eMenuCHOICE to ALIS

Importing the file into ALIS:

1. Once you have the .csv file, look through the document to verify the charges to be added to the ALIS invoices.
2. Import the charges into ALIS using Bulk Incidentals. 
   1. Got to the Billing menu at the top of your ALIS page, and find Bulk Imports and Bulk Incidentals.
   2. Click the Create Incidental Charges button. Since we are going to import your spreadsheet from eMenuCHOICE, there is no need to add a row for all current residents. Click Submit in the pop-up.
   3.  In the Create Incidental Charges page, click the Import Incidentals button and browse your computer to find the file.
   4. Charges will display on the page for you to verify details and Submit. Each charge will be staged as an Incidental Charge on the resident's billing profile to be invoiced in your next billing cycle. 

Integration set up between ALIS and eMenuCHOICE

1. Go to Settings and find the App Store. In the App Store, find the POS section at the bottom of the page, and find the eMenuCHOICE card. Click Install! Once the page refreshes, click Manage.
2. In the Manage App page, use the toggles in the Communities section to turn on the integration for your community.
3. In Authentication, click Create Credentials. These creates a username and password set for your eMenuCHOICE team to use on their end. Your onboarding team can help relay these details to the eMenu team!
