Soft Credit

When pulling a list/running a report to determine donor recognition, how do you ensure that soft credits are included in the results?  We are pulling a list by campaign and know that major donors who give through family foundations or donors who receive matching credit are not being selected but their records indicate that they are the creditee of the gift.  So, how do we recognize them using Tessitura?  How do we ensure that we have an accurate list? HELP!

  • I've written a few stored procedures to pull data where we want certain soft credit gifts to be attributed to the creditee, not the donor. Below is the code I use to choose which customer number (the creditee or donor) to list in my report.

    I don't know if this will help.

    case when exists

    (select cr.creditee_no from t_creditee cr

    where cr.ref_no in

    (select ref_no from t_contribution

    where campaign_no in (select campaign_no from t_campaign where fyear in (select fyear from @fyear)) --(2007,2008,2009,2010))

    and fund_no in (select fund_no from t_fund where desig_code in (select id from @desig_code)) --(8,9,10,11,12,13,17,20,21,22,23,25))--gifts not incl Endowment, Capital, In-Kind

    and cr.ref_no = a.ref_no) and cr.creditee_type not in (2,8))

    then (select cr.creditee_no from t_creditee cr

    where cr.ref_no in

    (select ref_no from t_contribution

    where campaign_no in (select campaign_no from t_campaign where fyear in (select fyear from @fyear)) --(2007,2008,2009,2010))

    and fund_no in (select fund_no from t_fund where desig_code in (select id from @desig_code)) --(8,9,10,11,12,13,17,20,21,22,23,25))--gifts not incl Endowment, Capital, In-Kind

    and cr.ref_no = a.ref_no) and cr.creditee_type not in (2,8))

    else a.customer_no end,
