(New to Sage and have not received any training, so please bear with me!)

75% of the cash we receive are donations (we are a small nonprofit). When I try to enter cash receipts, I am asked for an invoice number. Is it possible to record donation receipts without creating an invoice for each donor?

The Help files? It's in there.

To enter cash or credit card receipts to a G/L account

Thanks for the quick reply! I've tried doing this, but when I try to press "accept," a window pops up saying "The Invoice Number is required." How do I get around this?

I think I figured it out--I have to change "line type" to GL Account. Thanks!
