The documentation seems to say that two accounts with active memberships can be merged, but we get a n error message popup if both accounts have membershiops. We have to delete a membership to merge the accounts. Once the merge is completed, the contribution(s) for the deleted membership show up in the merged account's contributions tab but not in the contributions pane of the membership.
Is what we're seeing normal Tessitura behavior? Maybe we've overlooked a setting?
We seem to be processing more merges lately due to web contributions generating duplicate accounts, and we'd love to find a way to make the membership data on merged accounts more accurate. . .
I will add here that when 2 accounts are scheduled to be merged, the localized procedure LP_VALIDATE_CUST_MERGE is executed. This procedure is designed to allow each site to implement code that would preclude 2 accounts from being merged under specific conditions defined by their business rules. This procedure has sample code included as a guideline, and one of the sample conditions is to disallow the merge of customers that both have active memberships.

I'm not sure if this helps, but we deactivate rather than delete the memberships so the contributions stay connected to the merged membership.
