Not able to add a PledgePayment gift against an existing Pledge

Neil Marshall

Hi,

We are attempting to add a gift of type PledgePayment through the SKY API to an existing Pledge gift (this is being done through GiftBatches).

The undocumented error we're getting back is:

{"errors":[{"affected_field":"PledgeInstallmentId","exception_error_code":25133,"exception_error_message":"A pledge payment without a pledge installment ID must have a pledge installment date.","exception_error_name":"PledgePaymentWithoutPledgeInstallmentIdHasNoPledgeInstallmentDate","lookup_id":"????????-????-????-????-????????????"}],"gifts":[]}

We are filling PledgeInstallmentDate against the payment but since that field isn't documented we're not sure of the naming convention or even whether it is supported.

Could you provide any guidance on whether this is possible?

The alternative which is a bit of a pain for the administrator is that we add a “PledgeName” custom field against the gift and then the administrator has to manually apply the gift to the pledge through the web batches screen (or in Database view once the web batch has been approved).

Thanks

Neil Marshall

I noticed this thread, where one of the comments indicates you can add pledge payments through the API.

@Anthony Gallo:
This post touched on pledges so I wanted to come back to throw and update. We can now accept non full pledge payments and payment to multiple pledges via the API.

@Neil Marshall I am not sure the exact issue but what stands out to me here is the use of batches. Pledges are not something we have in our NXT web view yet so any pledge API will be going directly to database view. There will be no option to manage or view this payment application in the web view batch.
