"Fake" payment method

Lesley Chaney $organization over 16 years ago

Hello all,

I'm looking to create a fake payment method to track internal transactions from other departments in the organization. For example, someone in our development department wants to purchase a CD to give to a patron. Rather than put it on a credit card and have to pay transaction fees, I want to be able to use a payment method and enter the GL number that they want to charge into the payment window (pretty much the same functionality as using a credit card, just not with real money).

We have also considered creating payment methods for each department tied to specific GLs, but the accounts used vary depending on the purpose of the transaction.

Do you have another suggestion? Thanks in advance for your wisdom and insight!

Hi Lesley
We have whole lot of internal GL accounts set up as payment methods, to allow tix to be purchased on behalf of internal departments. Mostly dev folks buying tix for sponsors.
It's a bit of work to set up, and you end up with a lot of payment methods, (but they're control grouped so most TSR's don't see them). That makes it easy for the person doing the sale, they don't have to get the gl code right, and it's all clear and transparent.
