Charities / Charity Accounts

It is possible to associate an account with a charity. When consigned items sell, a percentage of the amount credited to the consignor can automatically be deducted from the consignor's account and credited to a different account.

To set this up, the charity must first have a Client Account. See Add An Account.

Note: It is important to add the company name to the company field of the account.

Once the account is created then a Charity Donation Schedule must be created.
