[All Salesforce Certified Nonprofit Cloud Consultant (NP-Con-102) Questions]

A nonprofit using NPSP wants to track all donations that go to a designated fund.

How should a consultant meet this requirement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

To track all donations that go to a designated fund, the consultant should create a GAU Allocation record for the designated fund. Here's why:

GAU Allocation Record:

General Accounting Units (GAUs) are used in NPSP to allocate portions of donations to specific funds or purposes.

Creating a GAU Allocation record allows the nonprofit to specify the amount of each donation that should be allocated to the designated fund, ensuring accurate tracking and reporting.
