Dear members of the eBase User Support Group, I am working with an organization, in Vancouver BC, and they asked how to enter payments and/or pledges into the eBase system but not allocate a receipt number for the payment record? (New one for me.) Having never been asked this before, I checked to ensure that the Receipt Number field was indeed a sequential number field and thus I am sure a new consecutive number is generated for each NEW payment record. Q: Is there a way to enter payments and or pledges so the next available receipt number is not used. Apparently this is the way this organization works and they refer to these transactions as 'Non-Receipt' payments. I suggested that they just not generate the receipt for this transaction but they say this will not work for them. I know that general accounting practices means that a receipt number should be generated for each payment transaction and thus the receipt number is used to track payments, not just the generation of receipts or Thank You letters. Is there a solution for this, such as entering the payment as a contribution rather than as dues or purchase. Thank you for your comments and or suggestions with this issue. I hope to answer this question by Thursday morning PST. Michael W.
