zeroing out the balance of a pledge

I am looking for help with a pledge.  The bulk of the pledge commitment has been met and there was a minimal amount remaining (difference due to sale of stock and the date of that sale) that our executive director wants to disregard.  Writing off a pledge didn't seem to be the right approach so we attempted to adjust the gift.  Now instead of having a balance of $160, the record shows $320 as an outstanding balance.  Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix our problem?

Thanks,

  • Hi Jan,

     

    I’m wondering if the payment was accidentally adjusted instead of the pledge.  It would be one thing to check.  For instance, if the original pledge was $1000 and after the stock gift the balance was $160, you would need to adjust the pledge amount to $840.  If the payment was accidentally adjusted, you will need to adjust that payment back in and then adjust the pledge amount.
