How to Apply transactions to Contacts

Watch Video

When funds are paid to or received from a contact, the amount can be applied to the contact when entering the bank transaction.


As an example, let’s say Carol Johnson donated $100 to her organization.


Click Banking in the sidebar.


Click Actions to the right of the bank account.


Choose New Deposit from the dropdown.


Fill out the fields of the deposit and click Search for contacts…


Enter the contact’s name into the Select a Contact field and choose it from the dropdown when it appears.


Click the Activity Account you want to select. In this case, Donor Activity.


Click Apply To Activity Account.


Click Save, Save & Close, or Save & New to record the deposit in the bank register and in Carol Johnson’s Donor Activity account.


Carol’s Donor Activity account now reflects the $100 donation that was applied in the deposit.


Payments can also be applied to specific obligations. How to Apply Payments to Obligations and Run an Obligation Report.

    Hi, I am part of a PTO, and I am fairly new to this website. I am trying to figure out how I can create a statement that will show all activity, reimbursements we have made to this grade level account, as well as their current balance they have available to spend.

      Hi Estella,

      If you want to create a statement that includes all activity, reimbursements, and their current balance, you will need to track it in one activity account. We usually recommend tracking everything in the Member Activity account. There isn’t a way to create one statement across activity accounts.
