Payment Schedule in Acknowledgements

Hey list or forum or whatever,

 

We're interested in setting up an acknowledgement letter that includes information from the payment schedule of a contribution. Does anyone already have a customized acknowledgment format like this that you're willing to share? Or does anyone get the same results some other way (e.g. is there a canned report I don't know about)?

 

Thanks,

    We had our Database Administrator create an enhanced "Ack Letter for Mail Merge" report that includes 24 new fields:

    Payment 1 amount

    Payment 1 date

    Payment 2 amount

    Payment 2 date

    (and so on... through 12 payments)

    These fields work into a mail merge letter and nicely outlines a donor's payment schedule.  If they exceed 12 payments (which is rare), our letter just inserts a red, bold warning statement "exceeds 12 payments" so that our acknowledgment person can easily identify, pull and customize those letters.

    I have not idea how to share the report, but let me know if you think you want to chat with our IS person.

    Would it be possible for me to get your Database Administrator's contact information, please?  That report sounds like exactly what I am looking for.

    Thanks!
