If a donor exceeds FEC limits via a WinRed contribution and needs funds either redesignated or reattributed to another election or a spouse, the data entry for this is identical to a reattribution or redesignation of a direct transaction. Make sure you are editing the Individual contribution, and not the WinRed receipt.
1. Open the record for the spouse with the original contribution.
2. Click on Transaction tab.
3. Click on the pencil icon next to the contribution transaction to to be reattributed.
4. Click on Linking tab.
5. Choose Reattribution from the dropdown list.
6. Under the New Reattribution section, search for the spouse record in the Recipient box.
7. Enter the amount to be reattributed.
8. Enter the date.
9. Choose the Election Period.
10. Click on the Done button.
11. Click on the Save button.
A transaction with negative amount will be added to the original record and a transaction with a positive amount will be added to the spouse's record for the amount designated for reattribution.
If you are Redesignating a transaction, follow the steps below:
1. Open the record with the original contribution.
2. Click Transaction tab.
3. Click on the pencil icon next to the contribution transaction to to be redesignated.
4. Click on Linking tab.
5. Choose Redesignation from the dropdown list.
6. Under the New Redesignation section:
7. Enter the Amount to be redesignated.
8. Enter the Date.
9. Choose the new Election Period for the redesignation.
10. Click on the Add button.
11. Click on the Save button.
Two new transactions will appear on the record showing the amount moved from the original election period and the amount moved to the new election period.
Again, make sure you are editing the Individual receipt, no the WinRed receipt. WinRed receipts cannot be reattributed since only Individual receipts are eligible for that process.
