In the new grid batch in NXT the payment method drop down should include Business Check and Personal Check. Currently in database view you are able to select either personal check or business check when processing gifts. It is important to be able to make this delineation for gifts especially for gifts that may come in through a DAF, or stock gifts, etc.
It is especially problematic when the Gift Page shows payment method as "Personal check" on the Payment Information tile even though it can only be entered as Check during gift entry. Either give us the option to choose personal or business check or update the Gift Page to list Check as the payment method. See screenshot.
We need this option also
This is important to our organization with our monthly financial reporting and annual audit reporting.
I respectfully disagree with this idea. Over the years, the designation of this field has been largely unnecessary for our gift entry team. As long as we have sufficient digits to input the check number, the classification as business or otherwise is not crucial. Typically, the check number provides enough information to identify its nature. We would prefer to simply see the the payment method of check with the check number without the need to make an additional classification decision that holds no significant relevance to our organization.
Why was this taken away in NXT?!? We absolutely need this.
We need this so we can continue to identify Business Cheques as such and therefore exclude them from Gift Aid claims.
YES, this is important to us (I thought I had submitted this request last year myself) for people like one of our board members who sponsors events regularly. She usually splits the payments between her business and her personal donations, and often it's $750 from the business, $250 from her personal account, but not always. I have to go into DBV to manually change CHECK to BUSINESS check to clarify that the payments have been made correctly according to her wishes, since the receipts will be going to two separate places. (And because it's an organization and an individual, I have to custom-make "half-silver sponsor" fees for this and other donors who do this since RENXT won't let me link payments for the business's sponsorship to an individual's record. But WHY on earth would you take away the choice of BUSINESS check? It would be great if this was a customizable field so I could also add Money Order for donors who consistently pay that way, too.
Would love to have this option again - because you can't pick in NXT batch grid which type of check it is - they revert to personal check when you view the gifts in DBV. Having the distinction is important for our org when I am looking for donor-advised fund checks and corporate or small business checks. Heck, I wish their was a "bank check" and "IRA check" option too.
