[BETA USER] Edit External Organizations for Manual Entries

Summary: This guide explains how to edit external organizations for manual entries within a committed batch or from the Transactions tab. You will learn how to reassign donations to different external organizations, update pass-through statuses, and modify associated donors.


Before You Begin

  • This workflow applies specifically to committed batches. Uncommitted batches can be edited freely without this process.
  • An associated donor is currently required to save these changes (updates to remove this requirement are in progress).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Option 1: Editing from a Committed Batch
  1. Navigate to your Committed Batch and click on the specific entry you want to edit.
  2. Select a new External Org to change the entry from a standard donor to an organization, or to update an existing organization.
  3. Toggle the pass-through option to indicate if the donation is a pass-through (e.g., a Donor-Advised Fund) or not.
  4. Update the Associated Donor field as needed.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Select whether you want to notify the donor in the confirmation prompt.
Option 2: Editing from Transactions
  1. Navigate to the Transactions tab.
  2. Search for the specific donation record and click on the donation to open it.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Update the External Org, pass-through status, and associated donor as necessary.
  5. Click Save Changes.
  6. Click View Batch to return to the check scanning view and verify your changes.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • I cannot save my changes to the external organization: Ensure you have selected an Associated Donor. You are currently required to have an associated donor linked to the entry before you can save.
  • Why can I edit some entries without doing this? If you are working in an uncommitted batch, you can edit entries freely. This specific workflow applies after a batch has been committed.
