Recycle Voids

The default value for the Recycle Voids checkbox is selected (Yes) on Master Config tab on the Development Configuration window.

This checkbox controls whether gifts that are voided using the Gift Entry function are copied to a new gift group where they can be modified. If the voided gifts are "recycled" in this manner, you are not required to manually enter the master gifts again but you must generate transactions as if they were new gifts.

You originally entered a gift for $125. It was accepted and booked to the Business Office. You later determined that it should have been for $175. You can void the $125 gift; and if the Recycle Voids checkbox is selected, that voided gift is placed in a new gift group. From within the new gift group, you can locate the $125 gift, change the amount to $175, generate the transaction, and accept the gift. Then you must book the corrected gift group to the Business Office.

 

·       Select the checkbox to copy voided gifts to a new gift group. You can use this new gift group for editing, generating, and accepting transactions. If you void a returned (bounced) check, you will need to delete the new gift group created since you will not accept it.

·       Clear the checkbox to prevent the gifts from being copied to a new gift group. You will later need to manually enter the gift correctly (if necessary) in a new gift group that you create yourself.
