Copy/Reverse Donation Tool

With the Copy/Reverse Donation tool, you can copy donations to a new batch, which you can then finalize and deposit, or reverse donations due to non-sufficient funds or a correction.

  • The tool is available on the Donations page and you can launch it from a selection of records or an open record.
  • The tool displays the total number of donations, the total amount of the donations, and the subtotals associated with each Program.
  • Using the Copy/Reverse Donation tool, you can:
    • Set the donation date. (It defaults to the current date.)
    • Select whether to reverse the donations.
    • Set the batch name. (It defaults to "[Date] Reversal".)
    • Select whether to create a batch.
    • Select whether to finalize and deposit the batch.
  • If you select Create Batch, all the reversed donations go into that batch with the following properties:
    • Batch Type set to Corrections/NSF.
    • Batch Total equal to the total amount of the selected donations (possibly negative).
    • Finalized Date not set.
  • If you select Finalize And Deposit, the following will occur:
    • The batch has a Finalized Date.
    • There is a deposit with Deposit Name set the same as the batch, the Account Number set to zero, and Exported set to No.
    • All batches in the selection are in that deposit.
