The Description and Memo fields in Business Central’s G/L entries are used to populate fund statement detail sections. These fields are automatically filled in when transferring requests, gifts, and interfunds from akoyaGO CRM. This guide details the mapping used to fill G/L entries when sending these record types to accounting.
Gift Memos and Descriptions
For Gifts, the Business Central Memo is typically used to populate fund statement gift detail sections and lists the donor receiving credit for the contribution. The Description lists payment details that can be used when depositing and reconciling.
- BC Memo = GL Memo field from the Gift Payment Record. On create of the payment, this field will populate with the name of the Donor, or, if the donor is anonymous, it will populate with 'anonymous'. This is an editable, free text field with a 250-character max. Input into this field the text in which you want transferred to the Memo in the G/L Entries.
- BC Description = “GPMT-” and Payment Number followed by Gift Purpose if applicable
