Making Corrections

NSF Donations

There are two approaches to non-sufficient funds (NSF) donations. In either approach, both the original donation and correcting entry display on the donor's statement. When you create the correction, you can put something (like ADJ or CORR) in the Item Number field, as this prints on the donor statement and might help the donor understand or remember.

Note: MinistryPlatform does not currently have a re-deposit feature. To handle a returned check, follow the instructions here. Then, to re-deposit it, process the check as you normally would in the Batch Manager Tool.

Copy/Reverse the Original Entry

  1. In the navigation menu, click Contributions > Donations.
  2. Clear any selections.
  3. Find and select the donation(s) on the Donations page.
    Note: You may copy as many NSF donations at one time as needed, but you would generally batch them individually, as they display as separate journal entries on your bank statement.
  4. Select Current/Unsaved Selection from the drop-down list.
  5. Go to Tools > Copy/Reverse Donation.
  6. Set the date.
    Note: The date field automatically populates for today. Click the calendar icon to select a different date.
  7. Select whether to reverse the donation amounts.
  8. Enter the batch name.
  9. Select whether to create a batch.
  10. Select whether to finalize and deposit the batch.
  11. Click Copy Donations.
  12. Close the tool.

Create & Process a New Batch with a Negative Entry

  1. Create a batch in the Batch Manager Tool.
  2. Add a negative Donation record.
  3. Add negative Distribution records in the same amounts as the original donations.
  4. Process the batch normally.
