Yesterday, for the first time in my Finance Clerk career, we received a donation envelope containing 3 separate donation slips (for 3 different adults in the same family) but with just one check made out for the sum of all three donations.

I thought I remember reading a post in the forum here not long ago that MLS can accept multi-donor - single check donations.

Can MLS accept such a donation? If so, how would it be properly entered?

On the bottom of the left side under where you enter the amounts from the donation slip there is a button 'New slip' clicking on that will let you enter the additional donation information and then you can enter one check to go against the multiple slips.

Same question, but now with LCR can it be done?

No, unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be possible in LCR.

So is anyone aware what is the procedure then with LCRF for this scenario? I should probably be proactive and search the online Help myself before asking this question here, but this is so much easier... ;)

Seems to me one could enter like this:

Donation 1, $xxx.xx, check number 1234 (part of check)
Donation 2, $xxx.xx, check number 1234 (part of check)
Donation 3, $xxx.xx, check number 1234 (part of check)

Should work, and the bank will be happy I believe as it will balance too. Of course, the check number field might not allow alpha characters, although it should, as some check numbers could have letters in them.
