Transfer Gift Units

Transfer Gift Units

  • Purchase investment pool units.
  • Configure the
    Investment Pool Transfer Event
    business process and corresponding security policy in the Endowment Accounting functional area.
You can transfer dollars and units from 1 gift to another gift in the same company and investment pool. Workday transfers the book value and share quantity to the target gift.
  1. Access the
    Transfer Gift Units
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Units to Transfer
    Fair Market Value to Transfer
    Specify a number of units, or a number of units by fair market value. You can also transfer the entire balance of the gift.
    Workday calculates the fair market value as the number of units on the gift multiplied by the current unit price.
    Click
    Find Unit Sources
    to display the transactions after entering or updating the units to transfer.
    Unit Sources
    The unit source values are based on existing transactions on the source gift, such as purchases, reinvestments, or incoming transfers.
    If the gift units were consolidated into a single gift transaction using an average unit cost, you can override the book value of the selected units with their historically correct book value. Workday records the transferred transactions using the adjusted book value.
    If you select to transfer all gift units, you can't override their book value. This would result in leftover book value for zero units. Example: Your transaction lot of 100 units has a $100.00 book value. If you transferred all 100 units at a $90.00 book value, the zero units remaining would have a $10.00 book value.
    If you're transferring adjusted gift units, you must record an investment pool valuation before transferring the units.
The
Transfer Gift Units
task initiates the
Investment Pool Transfer Event
business process for review and approval.
Workday transfers the specified number of gift units and book value from the source gift to the destination gift. The total number of units in the investment pool remains unchanged.
