One transaction-segmentation for donation and ticketing?

Hi,

It looks like there are some creative ways to do this based on previous postings but they don't exactly meet our needs.  We have several events with both tkting/contribution elements going to different gls and this is currently accomplished in multiple steps in ticketing.   We want to take advantage of report "Special Event Receipt Listing"-deductible vs non-deductible, with non-deductible being the ticketed amount going to a different gl and appear as ticketing (not under contributions tab). 

Any suggestions on getting close to this?  Any information would be greatly appreciated-thanks!

  • Hi Jeri,

     

    We just released a new Elevated Events document that addresses this issue.  Here’s a link to the doc.

     

    To summarize, if you select a performance when running the Special Event Receipt Listing, any price map on the ticket with a price category other than Contribution (such as the Ticket price map) will be listed as a non-deductible amount in the report output.  What you can’t do though is set up a ticket so that a portion of the money will be applied to a contribution and an elevated event.  You can add a second price map with a price category of Contribution and send the money for that price map to the event/contribution GL, but it will not trigger an entry in the contribution history and it will not update an event record.  If you want to use contributions and elevated event functionality you are always going to have to have two transactions, one for the contribution and one for the ticket purchase.  Single contribution and ticketing transactions are on the Next Gen roadmap though, so there is hope for the future.
