Repeating Contributions

[KBA]

Something for your next V11 maintenance release: In the Maintain Repeating Contributions screen in Version 11, the fund number field does not automatically look up the fund. You have to look each one up manually before you are allowed to save the entry. Thanks

Um, could you be more specific about what you mean about ' automatically look up the fund' ??

Sure...on the screen you use to enter Repeating Contributions....
In the "Fund Number" field, if you type in say fund number 100 (which in my case is "Budget Receipts"), it will allow you to enter the number but it does not automatically fill in the name of the fund to the right. If you continue filling in the rest of the fields and then try to save the screen it gives an error message saying "please select an active contribution fund". The only way to get it to work is to type in the 100, then click on the little magnifying glass on the right, then click on that screen to enter the fund number. As with the other screens in PowerChurch, I believe you should be able to just keypunch without stopping if you have memorized some of your most common fund numbers.

Thanks!

Yup ... sounds like a bug ...

You're right. We have written this up and it's waiting for the next Maintenance Release.
