Penny Shortage

Patrick Weisz

Has anyone heard anything from Blackbaud on what software updates they are going to make when the penny shortage hits in the coming months? I know many organizations are going to either be rounding (up or down) to the nearest nickel, but that needs to be done within the software. If we are relying on cashiers to do that math in their heads that is going to cause a lot of issues with mistakes and over/short drawers.

I am curious how Blackbaud/Altru plans to handle this but I cannot get any answers from them.

Hi Patrick, This is a great question! We were talking about this the other day and wondering what the plan is. Thanks for being proactive and asking this! Thanks, Tamara

I am interested in Altru's resolution as well.

I will also need the protocol soon for our policies and procedures.
