Happy Friday, everyone.
I work at the LA Phil as the Senior Gift and Data Specialist and am seeking some advice and/or inquiries are handling contributions proofing procedures. We're looking into ways to proof gifts over $1K without completely halting the process.
The idea is to have another team member look at the batch data and proof that everything has been entered accurately for the right fund and purpose, as to reduce errors. Some ideas we've considered are:
If anyone has any insight about the topic I would greatly appreciate any comments here. If there is any confusion about the topic, and need me to explain further I will gladly do so.
Thank you,
Tyler Teich
We don't pause batches--though I'll definitely be watching this thread to hear about anyone else who does--but we do have an automated custom report which summarizes development's Transactions each day. It goes to a central gift processing czar, who scans the list and looks for any issues, which can then be addressed. It's rare we have to make changes, but usually pretty easy to fix.
I will say, we use an older custom report, but I think you could get a pretty close approximation using OOTB finance cube elements in Analytics. A thought!
