An option needs to be added within the batch process to link the payment to an existing pledge. Currently you are forced to process the payment as a cash gift, then move to the Database view to link the payment to said pledge. This process will not be an option when the Database view is removed soon.
I've been asking for the same thing. We hold an annual gala with 100 sponsorship pledges that's paid by at least 300 individuals and organizations. This is a lot of work to do manually. I put off using the NXT forms because it created more work for us. OLX works well but that will soon not be an option. There are only 10 people that voted for this idea. I'm wondering what others are doing with the pledge payments.
