I wasn't really sure which section to post this in, however, here's the question:  We have an event where we get many hundreds of donations in the $10-$20 range.  We provide receipts for all donations over $10.  Last year we tried entering these donations via an import rather than a batch and the import worked fine.  What we had a problem with was subsequently running the receipts.  Because there was no batch # attached we weren't able to use the standard mail/receipt process to provide the receipt.  I am not sure how we finally created the receipts last year, but I believe they were done outside of RE through some manual process.  I recall that I was not allowed to do any more importing for the donations and I had to enter all of them through the batch process which took much, much longer.  Is there a way to import gifts and still run automated receipts?

somehow - post lost the response I typed...

Several options to try come to my mind.  By the way, you do not have to have gifts in a batch to receipt them.  I am assuming all the gifts are entered onto the constituents records after import with receipt field as "not receipted."  If not, add this field to your import.

1. If all the other gifts to this fund are already receipted, filter on the fund in the receipt function and let it select all donors (do not put in a query).  This should pull all the gifts to this fund, those you imported, that have not been receipted and process them.
2. Create a query of your import.  You could do this by date last changed, gift date, gift import ID etc.  There should be a field you can easily ID that would identify the records from the import.  Then you can use that query to process your receipts.

Hope one of these helps.

 Thanks, that resolves that issue.
