Hey you development wizards,
Does anyone know if the money entered in the History>Events tab gets put into all the same places as it would if it had been entered in the Contributions>Event process? I know that it shows up in the Event Listing Report and the Special Event Receipt Listing report but it just seems like if you didn't go through the actual gift entry process...
BACKGROUND: We have an Art Market event for our Gallery Dept where artists pay a fee to be part of it and then we keep a percentage of what they sell. We book the fee as a performance and then enter them into the elevated event. We would like to track in their record the amount of revenue they generated for the event but not have a double entry because of when the money actually hits the books.
Thanks for any advice and info
It does not. If you want to process an actual financial transaction for an elevated event you need to process it through a contribution. If you fill in the received amount on an event record from the History tab of a constituent record, it will only affect the event record (not GLs, funds, campaigns, or contribution history).
