Rock RMS Integration Enhancement: Dedicated Financial Transaction Detail for Cover-the-Fee Amounts

OnlineGiving.org has released an enhancement to the Rock RMS integration that allows organizations to separately record the “cover-the-fee” portion of a donor’s gift as its own Financial Transaction Detail within Rock RMS.

Preview of Contribution with Cover-the-Fee Portion Recorded into Dedicated Rock RMS Account ID

Overview

This update provides the ability to optionally:

• Record the core donation amount as one Financial Transaction Detail.

• Record the cover-the-fee amount as a second, separate Financial Transaction Detail.

• Map the cover-the-fee portion to a dedicated Rock RMS Account ID defined in the OnlineGiving.org Control Panel.

This structure improves financial clarity, reporting accuracy, and reconciliation workflows.

What’s New

Optional Configuration Setting

A new Control Panel setting allows churches to:

• Store a dedicated Rock RMS Account ID to receive the cover-the-fee portion.

Disabled by default. To enable please email support@onlinegiving.org with the desired Rock RMS Account ID for Cover-the-Fee portion

How Rock RMS Transactions Are Created (when enabled)

When the feature is enabled and the donor elects to cover the fee:

1. A single Rock RMS Financial Transaction is created.

2. Two Financial Transaction Detail records are included:

   • One for the core donation amount, linked to the donor’s selected giving fund.

   • One for the cover-the-fee amount, linked to the dedicated Rock RMS Account ID.

This ensures the full donation total is represented while allowing the cover-the-fee portion to be tracked independently.

Updates to the Rock RMS Transaction Display (when enabled)

When viewing a transaction inside Rock RMS:

• The core donation and the cover-the-fee portion appear as separate line items under Transaction Details.

• Each line item displays its respective amount and associated account.

This provides clear visibility and auditing transparency.

Additional Notes

• Once this feature is enabled, all future donations where donors choose to cover the fee will have the fee portion directed into the dedicated global Rock RMS cover-the-fee account for easy tracking.

• Existing transactions prior to activation are not affected.
