GL Codes and Account Reconciliation

SheryAnne Wui

Hello,


I'm attempting to reconcile gifts with our accounting department. It's a bit challenging because our software is different.


Accounting does not use Financial Edge, instead uses Intacct.

Development doesn't post gifts.


I'm wondering what is best practice in implementing a GL Code system to help bridge the gap between both departments. In addition, simple to report as well.


Thank you

Hi SheryAnne Wui‍ - It looks like you can utilize the Post to the General Ledger under Admin, to create a CSV file that can be imported to an account system other than Financial Edge.  I, personally, do not have experience with this as my Org has FE as our accounting software.  I would recommend you take a look at two KB Articles for further information on how to go about this: 

• Article #38128 - How to post gifts from The Raiser's Edge to a general ledger or accounting program that is not Financial Edge
• Article #58796 - What do the columns mean in the post to General Ledger exported file

It also may be beneficial for you to utilize different field within gift records to track gifts through the same way that your accounting department records gifts, to aid in reconciling.
