Hello Everyone - 
I apologize if this is an obvious question - just want to be sure I'm
importing my financial data correctly...

I'm confused about what data should be entered into the Purchase_Type
field in the payments section (shown as 'Event' on the Add Payment
screen).  If the Pmt_For field is 'Event\Purchase' and the accounting code
we are using to track 'Events' is in the Acct Code field, should the name
of the event ie: 'Straw Bale Workshop' be in the Purchase Type/Event
field? That seems logical.... would the Item field then be occupied by
something like 'ticket'? We don't track it this way in our accounting
system, attendance at an event is just that - we aren't necessarily
selling tickets, although there is usually a fee involved.  Can we just
leave this field blank?

What about if this is a purchase NOT associated with an event - the
pmt_for field would be 'Event\Purchase', the Acct Code would be 'Misc
Sales' and the Purchase Type/Event field would be ???? The Admin manual
describes this field as 'Name of Event for which Purchase was made', but
the Users manual suggests that when entering data into this field, you
input 'the event or purchase category (eg. annual meeting, auction,
merchandise).  I'm confused.

Thank you in advance - this is a great resource!
