Note: The root issue for most of the requests seems to be payments made through online forms on behalf of an organization. If that's your case, too, please check out Move a transaction and payment method to another constituent and upvote that first!
Once a payment has been entered on the wrong constituent, it can be moved to the correct constituent by deleting it and re-entering it. This can be tedious, and if it was an online payment the payment method will be connected to the wrong constituent.
Creating a feature to move a transaction and payment method to another constituent would help keep payment methods associated with the right donors, and reduce time spent doing data cleanup.
Yes! Just had a church staff member donate and enter donation under their own profile vs. the church. I just called your support and the only way to "fix" is to delete from the individual constituent profile and reenter under the church. What?!? I should be able just to update who the donation is recorded under.
This would be a great product enhancement - just happened with a constituent donating on behalf of an organization but it went on the constituent's personal profile. I don't want to have to delete or refund it to get it associated with the correct profile.
I completely agree. Kindful allowed it; why can't Bloomerang? When merging, I accidentally merged a transaction to the wrong donor. It was my mistake, yes, but I should be able to fix it without needing to go back through donors, delete the transaction, and resubmit it to the right donor.
This is currently available on Blackbaud and CharityEngine
I find the need to move a donation between records at least a few times a month. It's very tedious to have to re-enter the transaction from scratch after deleting the original entry. This would be a huge time saver! Please implement this feature!
This basic feature was used often in my last database. Now that my organization has moved to Bloomerang, I am having to correct data that was converted into wrong accounts. Having the ability to transfer a transaction to the correct account would help provide a clean and accurate database, as well as save time.
Currently, we have three constituent fields, one transation field, and 2 weekly reports to document "transaction transfers." This is very time-consuming to manage. Generally, this is associated with our Membership program, and while we are using the new membership feature, I don't expect this to improve. Deleting the transaction and re-entering it on the correct accout creates two problems: (1) ends recurring transactions, and (2) deletes the name from the payout report leaving our business office unable to track payments back to the exact transaction.
We need this feature.
