17.7. Transaction Limits
Contribution Limits Manager
Select Contrib. Limits from the Compliance menu. Entering Contribution Limits helps to provide an extra safeguard in financial reporting. Using options provided, you can specify whether contributions are limited for any Condition of contributor, and for those with limits, what the limits are and whether the limits are per election period, per cycle, or per calendar year.
By default, Contribution Limits fields are available for Individuals and Organizations. You can add any one of the following conditions, and proceed to designate Contribution Limits, by selecting the condition from the drop-down menu.
- The Candidate

- Politial Party Committees
- Non-qualified Committees

Committees should check with their local election agency for information about legal contribution limits. Aristotle International is not responsible for providing legal advice about campaign finance matters.
Allowing Over the Limit Check box, in the upper right corner, allows you to choose if users can override the "Over the Limit" alert notification when entering transactions. If this is not checked, the transaction won't be saved.
Once contribution limits have been set, the Campaign Manager system will alert the user upon the addition of a contribution that is over the donor's contribution limit.
