Overview, Working with Mission Trip Types

This article covers the Mission Trip Type Workspace: how to open, edit, and delete your mission trip types. Mission Trip Types set the default fund and fees for the trips grouped under them.

Open a mission trip type

From the left menu, go to Mission Trips > Mission Trip Types. Find the type you want with the search box or the status filter, then click the green open icon on its row to open the Mission Trip Type Workspace.

Edit a mission trip type

On the Trip Type Details tab you can update:

  • Status - Active or Inactive.
  • Mission Trip Type (required) - the name of the type.
  • Associated Fund (required) - the default fund for trips of this type; start typing to search, then select it.
  • GL Unearned Revenue and GL Earned Revenue - the GL accounts where this type's revenue posts.

Click Save All Changes & Continue to save and keep working, or Save All Changes & Exit to save and return to the Mission Trip Types list.

On the Trip Type Default Fees tab you can edit each fee's Fee Type, Fee Amount, and Active setting, then click the save icon on that row.

Delete a mission trip type

Open the type and use the delete icon in the workspace title bar (or the delete icon on the list row), then confirm. Two rules protect your data:

  • A mission trip type can be deleted only if no mission trip has ever used it.
  • A default fee can be deleted only if no mission trip has ever used it.

Deletion is permanent and can't be undone, so delete carefully.
