In NPSP, which setting might a consultant adjust for better payment tracking from donations?

Adjusting the payment allocations setting in NPSP can significantly enhance the tracking of payments from donations. This setting determines how donations are allocated to various payment methods and determines the relationships between donations, payments, and financial reporting. By configuring payment allocations effectively, a consultant can ensure that each payment can be accurately traced back to its corresponding donation, improving clarity in financial records and reporting.

This setting allows for a more organized approach to understanding which donations are fully paid, partially paid, or outstanding, thereby facilitating better cash flow management and donor relationship tracking. It helps organizations analyze the effectiveness of their fundraising efforts, track payment history, and generate more insightful financial reports.

The other choices, while relevant to different aspects of donation management, do not directly address the aspects of payment tracking as effectively. For instance, donation attributes pertain to the characteristics of the donations themselves, while recurring donations handle the scheduling and management of donations that occur on a regular basis. Accounting triggers relate more to automation in accounting processes rather than direct payment tracking.
