Gift entry adjustment

About a month ago a pledge was entered for a board member using an incorrect appeal.  Now that the pledge payment has come in and we now know that the appeal used was a mistake, is there a way to change this in a gift entry adjustment or do we need to write-off the pledge and start over again?

Just to make matters more complicated, we entered the payment on the pledge before catching the mistake.  Thanks for any advice!

  • Keri,

    You will want to check the tess documentation for contribututions and adjustments.

    What I normally do is first "refund" the contribution to "on account", then follow the rest of the directions for adjusting a contribution. After that, I adjust/reduce the pledge using the same contribution tess help documentation.

    Finally, I re-enter the pledge and/or contribution. The payment method will be "on account".

    Be sure to put notes in the contributions that clearly explain your reasoning for adjusting the contribution.

    Hope this helps.
