In my opinion either the Fund or Campaign code needs to be dated.

We have a month long youth festival called Sarasota Music Festival. We often get grants for the festival that get paid off months after the festival ends and after we are getting donations for the next festival. I have found it impossible to pull comparisions based on gift date which is why we are now dating our Campaigns.


I agree with Melissa that the codes should be uniform like: SMF06, SMF07, SMF08. So if you want to go this route, changing the campaign name for uniformity is simply done in Records/Campaigns.

The beauty/curse of RE is that it can work in so many different ways for all the different organizations that use it.
