Entering Revenue with Crediting Across Affiliates

BETA – IN PROCESS!!

Cross-Affiliate crediting is used for donations that are entered in one affiliate, but were solicited by or will be used by another affiliate.

For example, a gift of $15M was solicited by BWH for a program administered by MGB; the gift needs to be deposited at MGB but BWH will receive fundraising credit.

  • Gift deposited and Fed to Finance:  The gift should be entered as it normally would at the affiliate that will deposit the revenue, including posting the donation to finance.  In this example, MGB would record the $15M as a pledge, and post the pledge so finance can record the expected receivables.
    • Reporting Footnote Attribute:  This gift should receive the gift attribute  ”Reporting Footnote”, value of “Roll-up Reporting – Cross Affiliate Crediting” and an appropriate description in the attribute comment.   In our example, the comment could read something like “$15M pledge booked by MGB for processing but fundraising credit to BWH.”
    • Totals: This donation is suppressed from cross affiliate reports for this affiliate.  So in this example, on cross-affiliate reports like FIR1032 this donation is removed from MGB fundraising totals.
  • Recognition gift:  This revenue is entered at the other affiliate for recognition credit only.  This transaction should NOT be posted to finance.  This transaction is entered for Recognition crediting purposes only.
    • Inbound Channel:  A specific inbound channel is used for these donations, please work with the EDO so we can activate the inbound channel ” Cross Affiliate Gift Credit” for this donation only.
    • Totals: This transaction will appear in affiliate reports as a regular transaction in affiliate reports AND in cross-affiliate reporting.
