To leverage existing functionality the Year End receipting service has been developed using a parent-child relationship from a donation payment to multiple other donation payments. The parent donation tax receipt is the Year End tax receipt and the child donation tax receipts are the line items in the Year End receipt.
The WordMerge code has been altered in order to read the related child item template from the WordMerge template. It establishes the relationship based on the target entity in the parent template and the target entity in the child template. Using the children returned by this relationship, it populates the child template with the children. The resulting itemized child template body is populated into the parent template in place of the child template filename.
Creating Year End Tax Receipts
Some setup needs to be completed in order to create Year End tax receipt. The setup involves configuring a Donation Tax Receipt Setting. In order to configure the Donation Tax Receipt Setting, users will need to have pre-configured a new WordMerge Template for Child donations and a new WordMerge Template for Parent donations. Considering these steps, this User Setup guide will start from creating the WordMerge Template for Child donations.
How to Create WordMerge Templates
To complete the New Donation Tax Receipt setting record, users will have to create a new WordMerge template record for child donations. Next they will need to create a new WordMerge Template for parent donations that will pull in the WordMerge Template for child donations.
