Choose which "Application" to filter your search by, All Applications, Accounts Payable, Gifts, or Payroll. Select the Name in the Person Search window. By default the search text for the Name field searches for last names and organizations. To search for first and last names enter your search in the "lastname, firstname" format. You can also search by City and State. Select the donor, and click the Select button. Alternately, click the Close link to return to the previous page without selecting anyone.
NOTE: Search for just a first name by starting your search with a comma (e.g., ", James"). Display a complete list of names by searching for just a comma.

Enter a note in the field provided if you wish. This field is especially important for non-cash gifts where you can enter a brief description of what was donated (e.g., 10 shares of Apple Inc. stock, 2009 Ford Explorer, 4 hours of IT services, etc.).
When finished click the Apply button to save changes to your transaction and start entering another, the Update button to save any information that has been added or changed, the Reset resets the page back to how it was before any changes were made to it, or the Cancel link to to leave the page without saving any changes and return to the previous page you were on.

Cross Check
If you are using Cross Check, a check is automatically scanned when you enter the Enter Gifts page. If that check is not associated with a church, the Person Search window displays. If the check is associated with one church, their information populates the update page. If there is more than one church associated with a check the Person Search window displays with all associated names. Double-click the appropriate name or click the name and then Select.
Once a check has been scanned it displays to the right of the Cross Check field. Hover over the check to see the image of the back of the check as well. After you click Update on the payment the check is saved as two .png image files attached to that payment record (one for the front of the check and one for the back).
You can set up Cross Check in Manage > Unposted Gifts > Preferences (More Information). If you want to remove a check association from a donor you can do this from the donor record on the ACH Accounts tab (More Information).
Note: The Scanner.Client executable must be running to use Cross Check to scan checks. |
