      • This is the Initial Amount of the Pledge. Voids, write-offs and adding additional transactions to this gift do not change this value.  It is calculated at the time of Batch processing from the total of the Amounts on the Batch Item Transactions with a Type of Pledge.  It can be manual edited after processing but is never updated by the software after processing.

AQV29:Confirm Available Methods in Smart Batch 2.0

Josh Berg (Affinaquest Help Desk (Advancement RM))

Nov 5, 2024, 9:42 AM EST

Senoah,
 
Thanks for the question.
 
The Method dropdown in SmartBatch 2.0 is hard-coded and does not reach from the field values as they did in SmartBatch 1.0. At this time, values cannot be removed in SmartBatch 2.0. Inactivating values will not remove them from the Method dropdown in SmartBatch 2.0 and it may create problems down the road, particularly if inactive values are selected. 
 
As a rule, we do not recommend changing the Method picklists on any of the objects. You will get the best gift processing results if you use them as provided, which we are constantly evaluating. 
 
Thanks,
Josh

AQV29 Smart Batch 2.0: Adding multiple soft credits to the gift

As a gift administrator, I want to add multiple soft credits to the gift so I can process the batch accordingly.

Multiple Soft Credits Added at time of Data Entry

Multiple soft credits can now be entered at the time of data entry in Smart Batch 2.0.

After entering a gift, choose  Save and Add Soft Credit

 

There is no limit to the number of soft credits that can be added.

Soft Credits can also be added after the Batch Item is created by clicking on the C dot

  

Choose Add Soft Credit to add another Soft Credit

it also gives you the option to add the soft credit even after you have saved the Batch Item

 

@rommel.ngo Limitations noted:
Single gifts - GA PASS able to add and remove multiple soft credits

Pledges - able to add multiple soft credits but unable to edit or remove them. This is an issue because we have many pledges that require the editing of soft credit amount and we sometimes need to remove a soft credit that was added by mistake.

 

Jan 20, 2025 deletion and edit of “Pledge Soft Credit Transaction” is not allowed. checking if this is a permission issue.

AQV29: Update Batch Approval Report Soft Credit columns

As a GA user, I want to make adjustments to the Batch Proof report so that when I enter batch using smart batch 2.0, I am seeing the information as it was and can distinguish the soft credit vs hard credit.

  • When I use Smart Batch 2.0, soft credits are shown and distinguished with their respective information (anonimity of gift, anonimity of soft credit, pledge being paid down and the number of pledge payments)

  • When I use Smart Batch 2.0, ‘Date' ‘Amount' ‘Designation’ ‘Designation Number’ columns are added into ‘Batch Item Automated Soft Credits’ table

  • when I use Smart Batch 1.0, it is showing as it is. (this is transitionary, once we are fully on board with Smartbatch 2.0, this information can go)

 

‘Date' ‘Amount' ‘Designation’ ‘Designation Number’ columns must be added into ‘Batch Item Automated Soft Credits’ table

@Ana Simic Please wait until confirmed

 

16/01 - Fields are added and are available for testing.

Pledge correction batch issue when there are two payments against one pledge

We modified this gift from the holding designation to the new designation using a pledge correction batch and now one of the EFT's is paying down the wrong pledge instalment - https://sydneyuni-adv.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/AQB__Gift__c/a0sOn000000ZnFZIA0/view
Steps: 
Create a new pledge correction batch.
Choose the account and pledge that you wish to modify.
Change the pledge and payment rows designation from holding to the new designation.
Close batch.

 Actual Behaviour

The payment row is now paying down the wrong pledge instalment (Select Item 20 003145448) 

Expected: 

The payments should still pay down the pledge rows they were paying down before the modification batch was completed. 

Business Impact: 

The donor has made a new payment and we cannot process it or receipt them until the pledge is fixed. Not sure why the pledge correction batch modification would behave this way and would like to know how to avoid it in future gift/pledge modifications .

  1. Demo video: AQv29 Batch Correction Multiple payment on a schedule.webm

This Issue that was reported in AQ 26 by Ana is not fixed in AQ29. This has been raised with AQ and below is the response

I was able to recreate your scenario in our version 26 and 27 test orgs and will get this bug over to QA. Workaround is to do a void and correct as needed.

Thanks for bringing this is our attention.

Note that this is a hypothetical scenario which results to two GRC on the same contact, one through GRC on Soft Credit and the other is through automatic award of GRC on the Gift itself. User should be aware not to do this as it duplicates the GRC records.

User should choose either to award GRC through the indirect relationship or through the creation of Soft Credit Gift

AC2 (GA process remains the same and unaffected by the upgrade)

Continuation from previous test

  • Void and correct the Gift/Pledge, as paid down pledge (or any pledge with payment) does not offer Void Transaction and Add Correction, do a void of the payment first, then can use a Batch Correction to correct an unpaid pledge (note that Void and Add Correction is not available even after payment has been cancelled) then enter the payment again with the new designation.

Note that in version 27, user can use Batch Correction to correct a paid pledge with Bulk entry. Eliminating the process of voiding the payment, transferring to a new designation and entering the payment again.

Bulk Corrections

In Gift/Pledge Corrections Batches, Gifts and Pledges can now be searched for on Gift/Pledge Number allowing for the update of Gifts and Pledges (including closed Pledges) to be done in a single step for change of Designation.

  • void payment first

  • note “Void and add Correction is still not available, so one has to do Batch Correction instead

    use Batch Correction instead

  • add back the payment



Payment and Soft Credit Pledge are Voided

After Batch Correction, both Pledge and Soft Credit Pledge are corrected

After entering the new payment on new Designation

 

Jan 21, 2025 Tested with Monica GA PASS

Without using Batch Correction the process would be

  1. void the payment (if there is SC, that would also be voided)

  2. void the pledge (the whole pledge) (if there is PSC, that would also be voided)

  3. recreated the pledge with the new designation (don’t forget if there’s a soft credit)

  4. reapply the payment with the new designation

  5. Please consider receipts issued and relink receipt to new pledge.
