Hoping I can articulate this succinctly ... we added RE's JustGiving crowdfunding platform last spring and worked with Omatic to develop a three line flat file to feed to finance that takes into consideration the fact that JustGiving takes their fee from the gross. Finance said they needed the three lines to account for the gross amount, the fee, and the net amount that hits the bank account. Great - mission accomplished.
But then they discovered that the utility that they were using to upload to Banner couldn't accept a three line feed. And we don't have a programmer to rewrite the code and (to my knowledge) we've never asked any vendors if they could accomplish this for us.
Spring giving day is coming up and would like to use JustGiving or another crowdfunding platform (GiveButter) but we still have the same problem - Finance can't upload three line feed.
Has anyone else ever dealt with this?
Recommendations for someone that is familiar with the issue who could come in and write the necessary code?
Ideas on cost?
It's our sense that the benefit of having the crowdfunding platform will far outweigh the costs. Thanks in advance and I hope I described the situation correctly and succinctly!
