Backdating Pledge Contribution Dates

Susan Learner

Hi,

We are trying to backdate a contribution that we have received towards a pledge.  When we created a new batch and amended the date of the pledge it processed the payment outside of the pledge.   When we  then backed this transaction out it goes back into the pledge but dates it as todays date!!!  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Hey guys,

     

    I have a similar question.  As we are coming to year end contributions, December 31st falls on a Saturday.  Any gift received after December 31st, but post marked December 31st, will still be counted towards the month of December as a donation.  When I enter contributions into Tessitura, I’m only allowed to put one date on the entry.  Can I backdate this to Dec. 31 so that when I run a report of December contributions, it will be included?

     

    Thanks!

    Sarah

    Susan,

    It is not possible to backdate a pledge payment.  You can alter the date on a pledge or a gift but a payment is a transaction as such gets tagged with the date it is processed.

    Hi Sarah,

    I believe that most, if not all contribution reports are based upon contribution date as opposed to transaction date, so you should be fine simply backdating the contribution date.
    That is what we do.
    If there is a specific report you had in mind let me know and I can test it for you, as I just backdated a gift in my test system.

    This date also appears on the acknowledgement letters. (though ours is slightly modified I'm pretty sure this data column is in the canned version)

    Cheers!

    PS. Thank you Bob! My finance department just asked about how we would do this.
