Applying soft credit for more than the check amount when an event check is net of expenses

Tom Benoit

We sometimes get checks form people who host events, with event costs netted out.

For example, assume they raised $100 form 7 people, spent $10, and sent us just one check for $90.

They also send a list of the 7 people totaling $100.

I have to enter the check as $90, but I want to soft credit $100 to the 7 people.


Lastly, I do NOT want to enter the check as $100 and record $10 expense on my books - I just want to show a $90 donation.


How can I do that?

RE will let you enter soft credits totalling more than the gift amount.  I just tested it and it let me enter and save a gift with two soft credits totalling more than the gift amount.  It just won't let you enter a single soft credit amount more than the gift amount.

We will give that a try.  I am not the RE data entry person, so i had no way to test it.


I will post again once our data folks have tried this to let yuou know how it goes.  Thanks!
