Redesignating a Contribution

When a contributor's donations go over the contribution limit set by the FEC, one of the options to deal with the surplus money is to redesignate it towards the next election (from the primary election to the general election for example).

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.
