   • Offering Name - enter the offering name
   • Levy - only tick this box if this is to be a levy on tithe from missions
   • Available From - (not currently in use). This will control the start date of when an offering is shown on eGiving.

   • Classification - choose the classification for the GC Statistical report. Check with SPD Treasury if you have questions about what to select. In general, offerings created at the:
     • Union level would have the UnionOffering (64) option selected
     • Conference level would have the Donations - Local (68) option selected 
     • Division and GC offerings may have a specific classification chosen rather than Donations - Local
   • Roll-up Percentages - 
     • Effective Date - this is a new field, which specifies when these rates are effective as at. For example, if the effective date is August 2022, then any organisation that closes August 2022 and later will get the new rate. If a church is late and is just closing July, the July rate is used to roll up to the conference. The conference may already be in the August period, so when the conference closes August, those funds would go on to the union at the August rate.
