Has an edit been added to the software that we don't have?
I'm not sure when this changed. In MLS 2.2 (as you can see in the
Timeline of MLS), MLS started requiring the Notes value to be an integer amount. I'm pretty sure that this was the case for quite a while. But it is certainly the case that in MLS 2.9.3 and MLS 2.9.4 (the only two versions I have handy to test), non-integer amounts can once again be entered in the Notes field.
Of course, any such errors should be caught in the Review stage of processing a donation, so the out-of-balance condition should be corrected before the batch is closed, but it would be nice to catch it sooner.
I wonder if the change might have been caused by some sort of international issue, where notes in some country might be for a non-integer value. But that's just speculation on my part....
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.
