I have a question about using TMS and Controlled Batches. We don't use a lot of them, but we certainly use them for:
Does this documentation mean that until such a time as Tessitura removes controlled batches, and presumably updates the utilities that rely on them, TMS users cannot use the listed utilities?
Controlled batches cannot be used with EMV or Secure Deviceless Entry payments. If your fundraising department was using controlled batches they will need to transition to uncontrolled batches. Note: Controlled batch functionality will be removed in a future version of Tessitura. The Network recommends using uncontrolled batch types, except when a controlled batch is required for the following utilities: Contribution Import Utility, Event Cancellation Utility, On Account Funds Disbursement Utility, Direct Debit Order Billing, Direct Debit Pledge Bills, SEPA Direct Debit Order Billing, and SEPA Direct Debit Pledge Billing. https://www.tessituranetwork.com/Help_System/Content/TN-Application/Payment-Methods/TMS-Getting-Started.htm

We only use controlled batches for non credit card transactions. You can't use them with TMS for any credit card activity, and Tessitura is recommending the discontinued use completely, although we haven't done that yet.

We have been on TMS since 10/23, and Devo staff noticed that the above does continue to work.
