Create Deposit Tool

With the Create Deposit tool, you can create one or multiple deposits for one or more batches.

Note: The Create Deposit tool replaces the Create Deposit From Selected Batches report. While both are available, we recommend using the Create Deposit tool exclusively.
  • The tool is available on the Batches page and you can launch it from a selection of records or an open record.
  • You can choose to:
    • Create one deposit for the selection, which results in one deposit no matter how many batches you selected, or
    • Create one deposit per batch, which results in multiple deposits if you selected more than one batch.
  • If any of the following are true for any selected batch, you're prompted to correct the issue:
    • The batch is already associated with a deposit.
    • The batch does not contain any donations.
    • The batch amount doesn't match the sum of its donation amounts.
    • A donation in the batch doesn't contain any donation distributions.
    • A donation in the batch doesn't match the sum of its donation distribution amounts.
  • Creating a large deposit? The Create Deposit button disables once you click it so you know the deposit is processing.
  • After you create a deposit, you'll see a success message. You can find the new deposit on the Deposits page.
