Add A Mission Trip Type

Mission Trip Types group your mission trips and set the default fund and fees that trips of that type inherit. You create and manage them in the Mission Trip Types section.

Add a mission trip type

1. Open Mission Trip Types. From the left menu, go to Mission Trips > Mission Trip Types.
2. Click Add New. Argenta asks for two things first, and both are required: the Mission Trip Type name and its Associated Fund. Nothing is saved while you are on this form, so Cancel & Exit leaves no half-made type behind.
3. Click Add & Enter Details. The type is created and the Mission Trip Type Workspace opens, where you set the status, the GL accounts and the default fees.

The workspace has three tabs: Trip Type Details, Trip Type Default Fees, and Record Permissions.

Mission Trip Types sits under Trips in the left menu.

Add New on the Mission Trip Types list.

Trip Type Details

Start on the Trip Type Details tab and fill in:

• Status - set the type to Active or Inactive.
• Mission Trip Type (required) - the name of the type you're creating.
• Associated Fund (required) - start typing to search for the fund, then select it. This becomes the default fund for every mission trip of this type.
• GL Unearned Revenue - the GL account where unearned revenue for this type should post.
• GL Earned Revenue - the GL account where earned revenue for this type should post.

At the top of the tab you can also set Record Level Permissions with the Set As View Only and Lock This Record switches. Click Save All Changes & Continue to save and keep going, then open the Trip Type Default Fees tab.

Save All Changes and Continue keeps you in the workspace.

Trip Type Default Fees

Set the fees that trips of this type should start with. On the Trip Type Default Fees tab, click Add A New Trip Type Default Fee to open the Add Default Fee form:

• Fee Type (required) - a name for the fee.
• Fee Amount - the default amount for the fee.
• Active - leave this on to make the fee available at the mission trip level.

Click Save to add the fee. To change an existing fee, edit its values in the list and click the save icon on that row.

The Add Default Fee form opens above the fees already on the type.

Record Permissions

The Record Permissions tab controls who can see or edit this trip type when it's set to View Only or Locked. To give a specific user access, start typing their name in the Add User box, choose the user, and click Add.

Add a user to either panel to give them access.
