How best to record Gift Aid element of online gift (Eg Just Giving)

With JustGiving gifts we receive the main gift amount and Gift Aid portion separately – the main gift needs to be entered on receipt in order for our weekly / monthly bank recs to balance.

The GA portion may arrive a couple of weeks later, and is entered on RE at this time.  So a £20 gift is recorded as 2 gifts; firstly a £20 then £5 (Gift Aid).  This skews average gift values (which I can account for in a query if necessary) but NXT will show last gift = £5, which is technically correct but not helpful to a fundraiser looking at the supporter giving info in NXT.

Just wondered how others were handling this - one suggestion is to have a separate constituent record to which all GA amounts can be added?
