Creating a cash gift or updating the pledge in webview batch to handle online pledge payments with fee coverage.

The current pledge payment application process in webview batches will need to be altered before database view is sunsetted. From the knowledgebase article on pledges the current process follows:

Note: In web view, the gift amount must equal the balance of the pledge it’s applied to. To apply a payment with fee coverage to a pledge, approve the gift as a one-time gift. In database view, manually apply the gift and fee coverage amount to the pledge installment.

Assuming, in many cases, that the pledge is a single installment and the fee coverage would need to be handled another way. A solution would be either to allow the pledge to be altered/updated in-batch to match the full gift amount or prompt that the fee coverage becomes an additional cash gift as happens in database view.
