Acknowledgees for Tributes

Eva Fraher 2

I just spoke with OE Chat, and they suggested I put this on the Idea discussion group. We are an organization that takes in numerous IMO gifts.  The organization I currently work for is new to RE and OE and the tribute module, however I am not.  I am proficient in RE and the tribute module, but new to OE, as in my previous life I worked with Netcommunity.  


As I have been overseeing gift processing in our tribute gift area, I am disturbed by the number of duplicate acknowledgees that are made for the same tributees, e.g. In memory of Jane Smith could have Jane's spouse, James  Smith, in as a nonconstituent acknowledgee 10 times if 10 people gave to her memorial.  I spend more time cleaning this up in the memorial records than I should have to.  Getting decent canned tribute reports is a nightmare.  I do not remember this happening in Netcommunity. Why can't this be linked to a acknowledgee, if it is already in the tribute record?
