How to Adjust a Pledge

If you need to make an adjustment to a pledge (for example, if you need to change the pledge amount, payment schedule, or a payment type), use this procedure. The system automatically recalculates balances and payments for you. Any adjustments you make are reflected in the balance due amount in the family's pledge record and in pledge reports, such as statements and projections.

 Note that you cannot edit pledges that are in a closed batch.

To edit a pledge, you must have View plus Add/Edit access rights for Contributions assigned to your login credentials.

  2. If you manage several organizations, select the desired organization from the Organization list.
