DF Object Code

If you want to debit deferred gift amounts to a cash account separate from the standard cash account but still note that it is for a deferred gift, enter the object code that identifies the type of deferred gift. This column is only valid for a gift with a Gift Class of DF (Deferred gifts).

When you enter a code in this column, the system uses the cash account number and overlays the object code in that account number with the value in the DF Object Code column. (This only happens for a payment of a deferred gift.) The account component that gets overlaid is configurable.  Note that the object code will not be overridden if it has already been overridden by the sub-class; in other words, the sub-class value takes precedence.

 

You receive two gifts, a regular cash gift and a deferred gift payment. You have a cash account set up to debit using the 5484 object as part of the account code. Using the account number 1-01-1100-1003, do you want the 5484 to overlay the 1100 (component 3) or the 1003 (component 4)? This is done by specifying the component number in the Object Code Component column.

Cash Account   1-01-1100-1003 (from Gift Category definition)

DF Object Code  5484

Account that is debited for the gift

  • Regular gift   1-01-1100-1003

  • Deferred payment 1-01-1100-5484

You can see that the 5484 DF Object Code overlaid the 1003 object code in the standard Cash Account number.
