Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible for a membership to satisfy a pledge?

More specifically, I am working on a CiviCRM implementation for an organization with annual memberships, where someone can pledge to be a member for multiple years in the future.
However, it seems that when I enter a pledge payment it is not a membership, and when I enter a membership it does not satisfy a pledge.
Would I need to enter these as separate transactions, or am I missing something?

thanks,

Jonathan

We've wound up doing something similar (linking recurring payments with pledges) as an cron/drush/civimigrate job. Not too much involved in setting it up for us because we'd already had all the pieces set up (we've been migrating pledges & linked payments for this customer for a while as part of our migration).

We didn't need it done in realtime & the alternative options I thought about were all a lot of work - but we don't really have to handle mismatched amounts which makes it easy
