New pledge report:  Contributions - Pledge Fulfillments Summary

This report will also show any soft credits and how they relate to the pledge.

Warning message when possible duplicate contributions are entered

• When entering a batch contribution, if another contribution exists for the same household with the same envelope number, amount, date, fund, and fund activity, the message "This is a possible duplicate.  Do you wish to continue?" displays.  You can click "Yes" or "No" and continue.
