Hi,
To follow on from Paul's question in the webinar earlier today, my primary concern with contributions living on the household account and the declarations on the individual is that in order to gift aid contributions we need to prove whose account the money came from and the name on the account must match the name on the declaration. So, in a situation where a contribution that came from name 2's bank account is on the household account and we only have a declaration from name 1, we would not be able to gift aid that contribution. If there is scope to add an A1/A2 flag to each contribution, this may solve this problem.
Also, we take gift aid declarations online and it is my understanding that we can prescribe where transactions created on the web live (transact_as_household_web in t_defaults). If we were to set this to 'yes' so that the order saves on the household level, would we still be able to save the declarations to the individual constituent ID?
Thanks,Rathi
Rathi,
Thank you for some great and very reasonable questions. We've added this to our list of discussion topics for the day. We'll have a response posted here soon.
Best,
