Receivable and donation on one check?

Michael Sherman

I'm cross-posting this in the FE forum too. We had a donor who won a bid on a set of dishes at the Gala. She wanted to add 12 settings to the dishes through our contact so we ordered them and paid for them. They came to $4,642.80 and she sent us a check for $5000. $357.20 is a donation but I don't want to run the $5,000 check through RE. How to split that one check between FE and RE? Thanks.

We use FE but I have very little to do with it so not sure what kind of a mess might be created on that side. 

Can you just enter the $357.20 in RE and make all the necessary notations as to it being part of check # XX for $5000 and why?  FE can then enter the part that matches their expenses for ordering the dishes and pick up the balance of the check when RE posts to FE.

Just my suggestion.
