Distribution Manager

Distribution Manager is the planned Fund Accounting workflow for moving sponsor support to a sponsored nonprofit with a memo and approval trail. There is no live Distributions tile today. Until that manager opens, post a balanced journal entry in Journal Entries. For the monthly administrative allocation, use Sponsor Administrative Allocation.

Enterprise fiscal sponsors. Sponsored organizations should not expect a dedicated Distributions page in the hub. Parent-organization finance can still record support with a clear memo so each ledger stays traceable.

When you need a sponsor-to-project move

Use an internal transfer pattern when restricted or operating support should leave the sponsor ledger and appear on a sponsored nonprofit’s books. Do not use this pattern for bank deposits, donor designation changes, or vendor bills—those have their own tools.

What to do today

1. Open Fund Accounting → Journal Entries on the parent organization.
2. Post a balanced entry with source and destination funds, amount, and a purpose memo.
3. Attach support in My Files when the board packet needs backup.
4. Confirm the sponsored organization ledger shows the matching receipt.

Good to Know

This page stays in the docs so older links still explain the intended workflow. It does not mean a Distributions manager is open in the live hub. Related: Multi-Organization Management, Sponsor Administrative Allocation, Interfund Transfers.
