How the Trellis Payout ID is Added to Raiser's Edge

This article walks you through how our Raiser's Edge Integration adds the Trellis Payout ID to gifts, so your finance teams can reconcile between the two.

The Trellis Payout ID feature helps finance teams easily reconcile gifts recorded in Raiser's Edge (RE) with payouts received in their financial systems and ultimately deposited in their bank accounts. This feature is designed to ensure accuracy and completeness in financial reporting and audits.

How It Works

When a gift is synced from Trellis into Raiser's Edge, Trellis will create and populate a custom field called Trellis Payout ID on each gift record. This field will help you track the payout status of each gift.

Custom Field Values

The Trellis Payout ID field will have one of the following values:

• Not Paid Out: The gift has been synced to RE but has not yet been included in a payout.

• The Payout ID: This is the unique ID of the payout that included this gift. Once the payout is triggered, Trellis will automatically update the gift record with this ID.

• N/A: The gift will not be included in a payout (for example, if it was entered into Trellis as an offline transaction such as cash or cheque).

When Is the Trellis Payout ID Updated?

1. If the gift syncs at checkout: The gift is synced into RE with a placeholder value of Not Paid Out.

2. When the payout is triggered: Once Trellis processes the payout, the gift record in RE is updated with the actual Payout ID.
