Apply a New Commitment to Multiple Designations

Designations specify the overall and specific purposes for a commitment. When you receive a commitment, you must specify how you plan to use its revenue. Typically, the appeal used to solicit the revenue automatically specifies the designations to which it is applied. It is important to enter this information for all revenue your organization receives so you can develop statistics to determine the financial progress of the designations.

You can distribute revenue between multiple designations. When you split revenue, you must specify the amount or percent of the revenue to apply to each designation.

Note: When you apply a payment to an outstanding commitment, the designations associated with the commitment automatically apply to that amount of the payment. To change the designations associated with a commitment, edit the designations from the commitment record.

Note: To split a payment transaction between multiple commitments, add a separate application of the payment for each designation. For information about how to add an application to a payment, see Edit a Payment.
