Elbar53 added a comment to T438900: Multiple Donors Attached to a Retired Employer Profile.

Interesting! I didn't realize that. It's not causing an import problem. It is weird though! It doesn't look like donations are getting linked there. My first reaction was to removed it from the donor's profile I was working on, but I just left it.

Elbar53 added a comment to T406771: Develop process to prevent direct mail being sent to long-deleted cids.

I only knew it was incorrect because I needed to move it to the Endowment file. In that instance I check the CID because I need to make an adjustment in the donation .Otherwise I wouldn't have known. I don't get rejections anymore based on the CID.

I haven't noticed any deleted contacts. Sometimes the CID is incorrect, but it's only because two or more profiles were merged.

I think it makes sense to match to the zip code when it's the same name and company. @MDemosWMF what do you think?

@Lars I'm in the middle of the Benevity import. I'm still getting a lot of errors. I was able to resolve quite a few. Here is a link to the error page. I still have over 4,000 items importing, so that number will change.

I'll have to defer to Melanie for this. I know it geocodes to that city, but in the past we enter it as the donor requests.

I looked over the test import. It looks good. The "workplace giving" and "matched Gift" in the soft credit field are flipped. The matched gift should be on the company donation, and workplace giving should be on the individual.
