If you instead need to only Cancel the pledge, see: Cancelling a Pledge

  2. Click on the cog on the left hand side and from the dropdown menu choose Finance

  8. Click the Delete button to confirm the Deletion
Please Note

Not deleting the entire pledge and processed records will remove

  • Any specified dates of the pledge still in the 'planned' or 'deleted' state (past and future).
    If this has removed all the planned dates then the entire pledge is deleted also
  • Otherwise, the message is returned to the user that:
    "Some pledges had been processed. Therefore, the pledge has been marked as cancelled and only unprocessed items removed To delete entirely, tick the option to remove historic pledge records too."
    And the pledge is marked as cancelled.

Deleting the entire pledge will remove the following regardless of their current status (paid, scheduled, reconciled etc.)

  • The pledge
  • The specified dates of the pledges
